Beautiful property and location!
The house is absolutely lovely and the view is even better. We didn’t realise we’d be that close to the sea which was a great surprise. The house is well equipped and the layout is perfect for families. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. The nearest village of abbotsbury was beautiful, you almost feel like you’re in a time warp. There’s also a great park for the kids, with a nice view of St.Catherines chapel. We’ve had such a lovely break, we didn’t want to leave! 11/10 😊
