  Thimble Cottage is a wonderful little place for a getaway.

  Easy to get to and the sat nav takes you right to the door. The whole property looks bright and fresh and the lovely big garden and outside areas are 100% secure for your dogs. Even the most accomplished 4 legged escape artist would have to go some to get out. We had a Great Dane and a Chocolate Labrador and they loved the freedom to be able to wander around and bask in the sun. There a nice welcome pack for both your dogs and yourselves and this was a nice touch. The kitchen has everything that you could wish for and it’s unlikely that you’ll find yourself wanting for any utensil, pan or crockery. Dishwasher and washing machine both have tablets and capsules to suit the length of the stay. It has a smart TV with more than enough channels to keep you entertained. WiFi is good and allows communication to the rest of the world. (The mobile phone signal in a great deal of the surrounding area is a bit patchy.) The property sits just off the road through the village, but you do not get disturbed by what little traffic comes through. It’s in a great location to explore the local area and 30-40 minutes gets you to an abundance of sights. Would thoroughly recommend Thimble Cottage for your next getaway. Parking for one large car and an EV charging point if required.

  Jasmine cottage is located in an ideal spot to access both inland and coastal sights easily.

  Beautiful scenery and magnificent beaches to explore with your four legged friend. The cottage is warm, bright, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen space is small but well equipped. Everything you need after your day out to make dinner and relax for the evening. And if you can't find anything, a quick message or call to Mary and a few minutes later she was at the door to help. The garden is a quiet, calm oasis to wander in or to sit and listen to the birdsong in the early morning as your dog investigates the river, bushes, trees and lifts his nose to catch the scents floating in on the breeze. Richard and Mary have a vast wealth of local knowledge and were always ready to offer recommendations and loan a map. Nothing was too much trouble, they were helpful and very welcoming to all visitors, whether furry or not so furry!

  Nice clean well equipped cottage in a good location to visit surrounding area - Lyme Regis, Clarkes Village and Weymouth all about 40 - 60 minutes.

  If using A303 stay on for Crewkerne and the A356 - there is a Waitrose and Lidl next to each other handy for supplies - turn left at the large yellow cross hatched road markings - stay on A356 to the cottage - after a declining left hand turn the cottage is on the left a very narrow entrance in-between a large tree and Bakers Arms where the owners live. The court yard is gravelled and a car park space for each cottage. NOTE that there is no mobile phone signal - Wi-Fi only - my phone worked okay, but my wife's didn't - would have liked a roller blind on the glass front door and in the bathroom. The power to work the shower is a ceiling pull cord next to it. No eating establishment within walking distance. Would recommend for a couple with it's good location for visiting surrounding area - just keep to the A roads!

  We loved our stay at the cottage, it was so spacious, clean and ‘the welcome pack’ was exceptional. Everything we needed and more. (Loved Nancy’s cookies!) Sarah was so welcoming and helpful.We had some great dog walks, circular walk at Stourhead to King Alfred’s Tower. Beautiful grounds and coffee shop. Duncliffe Wood was perfect for a wet day with walks clearly marked. The cliff top path from West Beach was fabulous, the views breathtaking. Great restaurant/café at Hive Beach. Dogs may need to be on leads as cliff drop near to path. We would definitely recommend La Rose and book again.

  After we left, we thought that this property should deserve six stars.

  Spotlessly clean as if new, even the lawn is manicured....Thimble Cottage is set in a wonderful location, close to Blandford. and being centrally positioned it is just perfect as a base to explore Dorset....We did ! We loved it, despite the weather. The surrounding countryside is stunning, The cottage itself has a brilliant kitchen which we made use of every evening of our stay....coupled with a lovely big bathroom, It's like 'Home from home' because everything you could possibly need has been catered for. Dorset has a lot to offer, and can't be covered in a mere week...So we hope to revisit.
