Kitchen & living room upstairs, bedroom & bathroom downstairs. Nice touches of flowers, tea bags & biscuits waiting when we arrived, and some very welcoming doggies!! Lots of local walks, although some footpaths could be better maintained - bring wellies if you like to walk, occasionally we had to wade through a stream! Local pub within walking distance (45 min walk) but absolutely excellent food & service. Would highly recommend this cottage, we were sad to leave! ##### Clare Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House Moreton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Manor-House-Moreton.h40034573.Hotel-Information) > > [Warmwell Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Warmwell-Lodge.h44457962.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brace of Pheasants](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Brace-Of-Pheasants.h4185837.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fox Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Fox-Inn.h2275935.Hotel-Information) > > [George Albert Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-George-Albert-Hotel.h3883869.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Lodge Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Summer-Lodge-Country-House-Hotel.h903978.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [The New Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-New-Inn.h7426329.Hotel-Information) > > [Delightful thatched cottage in beautiful sleepy Dorset village and countryside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Delightful-Thatched-Cottage-In-Beautiful-Sleepy-Dorset-Village-And-Countryside.h59635075.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Coach House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Coach-House-Inn.h5769339.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oak at Dewlish](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Oak-At-Dewlish.h4311418.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h11974546.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Greyhound Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Greyhound-Inn.h10648883.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaggle Of Geese Pub & Shepherd Huts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-GAGGLE-OF-GEESE-PUB-SHEPHERD-HUTS.h48975420.Hotel-Information) > > [The Frampton Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-The-Frampton-Arms.h36708809.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) ---
