    The only problem we found was the third bedroom is quite small and cramped for adults. We did move the second bed underneath the bunk to make a little more space. The velux window in this room also had a child safety lock the key was provided but we couldn’t unlock it.

    The cottage is set in lovely woodland grounds close to many local attractions and places of interest. The property is spacious and well equipped, the rooms lovely and clean. There was a lovely complimentary welcome pack when we arrived with milk, tea, filter coffee, and a bottle of wine, the eggs and apple cake were delicious! Gwen and Martin were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the area and local walks. their lovely dog Archie came to introduce himself too. We had a super holiday thank you.

    Everything! We lived where it was, Gwen and Martin were lovely! We even met Archie! Cannot fault for anything, great location with access to so many walks. Great for us as we go to the tank museum for tiger day and it’s only a 5 minute drive away! Even the fact they left out some lovely goodies for us! I genuinely haven’t slept so well away before!

    Nothing to dislike.

    The cottage was spotless on arrival. Nothing for Gwen & Martin was too much trouble and we felt very welcomed. Beds were very comfortable and every room was a delight. Location was perfect (directions provided made it a cinch to find) as we basically needed a hub to get around Dorset but were secluded enough to keep our kids settled.

    Surpassed expectations. 2 good sized adult rooms, third bedroom really only suitable for kids, but fine for us. Living and kitchen areas excellent, outdoor area perfect and interesting for our boys. Really well located, 10 minutes to Monkey world and nice pubs, within half hour of poole and lots of the purbeck attractions. Can't fault it.

    We cannot think of anything that needs improvement. Even the weather was perfect! ;-)

    Lovely cottage, very comfortable - absolutely perfect for a relaxed family holiday! We felt very welcome; Gwen and Martin were wonderful hosts. Location was super: quiet but close to lots of things to see and do. Staying ‘home’ was lovely too: the cottage is very well equipped and outside there is wildlife to discover (including the not so wild hens).

    Can't think of anything. But you will need to drive to really get the benefit particularly if you want to visit pubs/restaurants in Wareham.

    This is a lovely cottage to stay in. Particularly if you are exploring the countryside or visiting the Tank museum. I really liked to couple who own the cottage. Lot's of really nice touches. They really care about the place they are renting out and their guests. Don't hesitate.
