It was a very comfortable stay and we enjoyed it very much. ##### Virginia Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 25 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication A wonderful little cottage with an abundance of character, boasting everything you need for a week (or more) away. With a large master bedroom, nice sized bathroom and a well equipped kitchen. Nearby is a village pub and road links to Dorchester, Weymouth and others on the A35. The owners left contact details in case of emergencies, but otherwise were not intrusive. Upfront contact with the owners was plentiful, access to the property was easy and directions easy to follow.. All in all a wonderful stay. ##### James Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey 9 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication We loved the property - small but perfectly formed! It was in ideal location for visiting Dorset with day trips easily accessible; Lulworth Cove, Chesil Beach, Poole, Dorchester, Swanage and Corfe Castle to name a few. Lots of National Trust properties to visit too - particularly for Thomas Hardy and TE Lawrence. We found wonderful gardens - The Walled Garden at Moreton, and Sculpture at the Lakes was truly spectacular! We couldn’t have received a warmer welcome from the owners and glad we heeded the tip to eat at The Thimble Inn - again, really lovely welcome and good food all in quick walking distance. We had a perfect stay - slept really well in large and airy bedroom, and enjoyed the downstairs space too, Kitchen is wee but full of character. A lovely quirky cottage. ##### Lindsey Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [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)
