Property was immaculate and a great place to get away, especially when the sun shines. Christina was a perfect host, there if needed but let us get on otherwise.

Excellent Accommodation
The chalet is lovely, spacious and very well equipped, the beds were comfy and the view from the veranda was scenic. The hot tub was superb, it was checked on a daily basis by our host Christina who was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed a day in the games room as well as exploring Dorset. The chalet is within easy reach of the coast for a day trip and there are many lovely villages and towns, closer by. We all had a great holiday and hope to return in the future.

Quiet, clean and comfortable
This property is everything you could hope for. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, the area is quiet and you can see lovely sunsets over the farm from the comfort of the hot tub. Only issue is it is in the middle of nowhere with some single lane roads to travel down to go anywhere, but that does not detract from the property, just something to be aware of if not comfortable driving those types of roads. Would definitely recommend.

Ideal Countryside Getaway
Beautifully presented, clean property with everything you could want in terms of equipment both in the kitchen & throughout the property, making this a very comfortable and enjoyable getaway. It's location was an ideal central location for exploring both parts of Dorset & Somerset. We even got to meet the farm's calves. Communication with the hosts could not have been easier. Would highly recommend!

Very pleasant chalet
The chalet was very well presented and had everything that we needed in order to enjoy our stay. The host and her family were very friendly, and the kids enjoyed seeing the calves and meeting other children from the adjacent chalets. We had a lovely time.

A lovely location and stay
Well presented with everything you could ever need for a great stay in the countryside! We had a great time, loads of space for everyone to relax and the outside space with hot tub was ideal for a glass or two of bubbly whilst taking in the views.
