    Everything was brilliant..

    An excellent choice in a quiet and peaceful setting. Well situated within easy reach of numerous attractions in the area. Despite quite a bit of rain during my stay, I was still able to get out every day with options suited to the variable daily weather. Well equipped accommodation, spacious shower / bathroom with comfortable lounge and bedroom. Apart from breakfast, I chose to eat out, finding a good range of options to suit my palate, including a couple of excellent restaurants.hosts are very pleasant and helpful with support and advice available when needed. This could easily be a regular return choice.

    The property was comfortable, clean and easy, in that it felt like a home from home. The bed very comfy and I had the best couple of nights sleep in ages. The hosts were friendly, welcoming and approachable. The location was rural, quiet, private and safe. A little welcome basket of nibbles and a bottle of bubbles was an unexpected surprise! A lovely touch.

    We loved the accommodation, especially all the finishing touches like the good selection of tea tea/coffee, fresh milk, prosecco and the little hamper! The outdoor seating area is lovely with amazing views over the fields. The accommodation is particularly secure, with the electric gate system. Nikki was a star, she kindly offered to drive us into Wareham when we were unable to get a taxi 😊 Thank you Nikki and Brad for a really enjoyable stay!

    Well located for visiting various sites in Dorset, also only a few minutes drive from Wareham town centre for all the amenities and great restaurants. Equipped with all we needed for a few days, the outdoor space was very welcome for an unusually long UK heatwave! Friendly hosts and although we didn't need anything else, sure they would have been very helpful if we did.

    Although rural, the road nearby is definitely audible when relaxing outside. Inside the only dining space is a kitchen counter facing the wall. This is picky, though, we'd certainly recommend The Paddocks.

    Lovely, large, very well-equipped apartment. Nice shower. Very generous and welcoming pack of goodies on arrival! Easy place to relax and spread yourself out in, and as the sun was shining we could sit outside at the table right by our door. We felt nicely at home. And of course only 5 minutes drive to lovely Wareham, 15-20 minutes to all the best spots on the Jussasic coast: Lulworth, Kimmeridge, Corfe, Swanage, etc.

    For what was expected and the reason we booked it, there was nothing we did not like. If I said something, it would be made up or picky, and if I was missing something I would have stayed somewhere else. I would happily stay again.

    It was a great place to stay for our visit to RSPB Arne, and very quiet and secure. Great bathroom and lovely shower, comfortable bed and a good night sleep, double blinds to keep it dark.

    Nothing not to like.

    Nikki & Brad had contacted me a few days prior to our arrival, with travel directions, which were very helpful, and asking for an approximation of our arrival time. So, Nikki was there to greet us upon our arrival, welcoming us and show us our apartment. The apartment was just perfect, and Nikki had very kindly gifted fresh flowers and provisions for our stay. Which included, Prosecco, Fresh Milk & Eggs, Luxury Cookies, Crisps, and a selection of Teas and coffee. The apartment was warm, clean, comfortable, very nicely furnished and homely. The apartment has underfloor heating and Nikki informed us of the settings and how to adjust should we feel too hot/cold. The living area and bedroom were all very comfortable, and we slept well. The bathroom and shower were tastefully arranged and decorated. Again Nikki's personal and thoughtful touches making it feel very homely, and having all we needed. Body wash, shampoo, conditioner and endless hot water. During our stay we were planning to cycle and explore the glorious countryside, so had our bicycles with us. Brad kindly offered us the barn for storing the bicycles when we were not cycling, and even offered wash facilities if we needed them. In summary Nikki & Brad are perfect hosts, and have a lovely property to offer and couple looking for a break away to Dorset and all that it offers. We would happily recommend The Paddocks for your stay, and we would certainly look to stay there again. Five Star! Ten out of Ten!

    Nothing we didn't like - thought it might have been a bit remote for us, but everywhere we wanted to visit was easily accessible. Really lovely property well equipped and lots of lovely touches throughout the property.

    Self catering but some croissaints, tea/coffee/water and milk had been left for us which was really appreciated.
