    A wonderful stay in a truly cozy home. Everything was beautifully arranged, warm, and welcoming – it felt like a home away from home. Would absolutely love to come back!

    The property was very private. Perfect for 3, maximum 4 people - if you don't mind the second 'room' being accessed for others using the toilet/kitchen. But most of all, it was fully furnished with everything could possibly need.

    Cosy, comfortable, quiet, easy to relax there. Nice touch to leave us some gin and tonic! Location good for our purposes. Sofa bed very good and very cleverly designed so easy to construct. Dog made welcome (with certain reasonable conditions).

The property is a one bedroom flat with sofa bed in the living room , it has its own private parking space with path leading around the back to a private patio area with a table and chairs and BBQ . On entering there is an area for shoes, coats and any dirty dogs until clean and dry . There is a wet room here as well with toilet and sink . You then go upstairs to a kitchen / living area , another bathroom with a toilet and sink , and your double bedroom . There is central heating and wifi . The kitchen is equipped with a single oven and induction hob ,fridge , microwave, kettle , toaster and a coffee . Tea , coffee and milk will be there for you on arrival . A key safe gives access to the property.
We have lived here at this address for 15 years with our children , one of whom has now moved out and brought his own house in the village and the other still here with us .
We live in a thriving village with a pub , shop , library, vets and two schools . It’s surrounded by beautiful forests with amazing walks , and has the Piddle river running through it . We are 4 miles from the County town of Dorchester with train and bus links along the Jurrasic coast. You have Sculptures by the lakes just a couple of miles up the road in Tincleton which is worth a visit along with lots of beautiful beaches also only a few miles away.
