Lovely cottage, clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our short break.

Lovely cottage, clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our short break.The owners were helpful and on hand if needed but otherwise discreet and gave us the space to enjoy our holiday to the full. We visited Blandford Forum, Sherbourne, Shaftesbury and Compton Abbas airfield, all within easy reach of The Old Pump house by car.
