It was a minor detail and part of the fun of staying in an old house - one of the bedrooms had a steep staircase for access.

A beautiful old house, full of character, with a beautiful garden and view across to Corfe Castle. The house is well equipped, nicely designed, and in a lovely Dorset village with a friendly pub.

Location for walking excellent, superb view of Corfe castle from the garden, spacious living space

Takes a while to warm up could have done with some blankets, electric heaters upstairs were complex thought it wasn’t working but was mistaken.

Great place to stay with a lovely garden overlooking Corfe castle. Property was comfortable and had all the amenities for a short stay. Will look to return again in the summer.

Nothing can really think of. Was Great.

Lovely cosy sitting room, big conservatory, nice size kitchen. heating was easy to use. Rooms lovely, beds very comfortable. Beautiful outdoor garden, views spectacular. We did have a log fire made it even more cosy in the evenings. Pub across the road was great, handy!. Places of interest only 20- 30 mins away. Would definitely recommend. Would have liked to have stayed longer, 2 nights not long enough.

The cottage is so pretty and located ideally for Dorset exploration. Wonderful garden with views of Corfe Castle. Stunning. Hostess, Cheryl (and her cleaning lady) exceptionally helpful!

Toilet slow to fill up.

Cosy cottage. Great garden with amazing view. Nice pub right next door.

Stayed in June 2024

No parking and it was a little bit grubby in some areas (conservatory and cupboards). The very steep stairs with downstairs bathroom was quite hard to negotiate but overall fine for a couple of nights.

Lovely views and well equipped house. Good communication from home owner. Great location. Good enclosed garden for dog.

Fantastic location, lovely views, and the local pub is so close, I recommend their homemade pies. The dogs loved exploring the huge garden, views are amazing.

Nothing, I love it!

Been so many times and I keep coming back! Pub over the road. Views over towards Corfe Castle, the safe garden for the dog. Driving distance to Studland bay, Swanage and Tyneham village. Just a happy, chilled place.

Stairs were steep and felt a little precarious but didn’t affect stay.

Very quirky and interesting. Well equipped. Beautiful setting with wonderful views

well located and beautiful cottage. a quirky place that was perfect for our stay

Stayed in September 2023

The stairs were ominous for our elderly relatives, especially in the night, which was difficult with only a downstairs toilet. The conservatory was cold, as was the whole house on arrival. It would have been good to have some additonal blankets for the beds as we hit a cold spell

The view was wonderful, the reception rooms beautifully furnished and spacious, the kitchen well-equipped. Lovely local walks, very homely. Good selection of books and DVDs.

was quite cold when we arrived and it took us hours to warm place up

very cosy, lovely garden and excellent location

Would have liked another bathroom but we knew in advance there was only one

Was on a very busy road but it is where it is & didn't detract from from our enjoyment..garden & views were amazing

Good location lots of lovely walks without going far in the car

Stayed in October 2022

On arrival (February) it was clear the heating had not been switched on for sometime as the room temperature was 9.5 degrees which was rather unwelcoming and only 15 degrees after 8 hours where we decided to seek refuges in the local pub for warmth. The television was not operational for the entire 3 days of our stay. We did contact the owner who offered some suggestions but was unable to solve the issue. Due to the expected poor weather it would have been nice to have the television in the evenings. Other minor issue was the poor water pressure for shower.

Clean comfortable quirky cottage.

Lack of parking. Kitchen, bedroom and bathroom felt clean, other rooms felt like they needed a dust
