Amazing converted church -Dorset’s Jurassic Coast
Amazing place. Beautiful converted church, and a great place to explore Dorset from, away from the crowds.

Hideaway House, Easton, Portland
We really loved our long weekend away! Ideal location as everything was nearby, either by walking or short car journey. Cara was lovely and very responsive and nothing was too much. The property was very well equipped, and comfortable, beds were lovely 👍🏻 It’s tucked away and took a little finding but we arrived in the dark so didn’t help ourselves 😂 a what3words location maybe helpful? Just a suggestion 😊

Dolphin Retreat close to Beaches and Harbour
Amazing house with a massive drive. House seemed bigger than it looked in the photos. Lots of room for our three generation family to spread out (especially loved having 2 lounges), and having an en-suite on each bedroom was heaven. Beautiful garden, and we were lucky enough to have the weather for drinks on the patio every day except one! Hot tub was used daily, and nice to lay back and watch the stars. You can walk to Poole park in just a few minutes, and it was about the same again to get into Poole centre. We didn't try out the local pubs, but did utilise the Indian Takeaway one night which was really good. Nice to have cleaning materials, full size iron and ironing board, soap at every sink, washing up things including cloths and dishwasher tablets. Was surprised that there was shower gel, shampoo & conditioner in every shower too. The only tiny negatives were that all of us found the mattresses too soft, and as we cooked every night, we could have done with more pots & pans.

Stunning 2 Bedroom, Dog Friendly With Lovely Views
We had a wonderful stay here, we felt very welcome and after a stressful journey Jo was so kind and got the bungalow ready for us as quickly as possible so we could check in early. It’s such a lovely space, very cozy and well equipped. The views are beautiful and the garden was perfect for the doggies. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, we all slept so well. We had a lovely breakfast basket, treats for the doggies and Jo left me a card for my birthday. It’s a great location to explore, we would highly recommended staying here.

Sea Drift - a beautiful Fisherman’s Cottage
Great location in the centre of Yarmouth. You could walk anywhere in the town. The Digital Parking Permit was a godsend and in late September, we had no problem finding a bay pretty close to the property - not sure this is the case throughout the year. Very comfotable property and a most enjoyable stay.

Cedar Cottage. Secluded property in quiet location
The cottage is gorgeous and Virginie ensured we had everything we needed for a luxurious and cosy stay. The garden is perfect for a dog, and there are lots of lovely walks on the doorstep!

The Byre lovely traditional stone barn
We stayed for three and a half weeks after a water leak left our home uninhabitable. Unfortunately the property was not available for the whole time we required alternative accommodation but we are returning in a weeks time for a further two weeks. The property is well equipped and extremely comfortable even for our extended stay. Lovely quite rural setting but close enough to the local town not to feel isolated. Tanya and Chris are very friendly and helpful but not intrusive as can be the case with some hosts that live on site.

The Farmhouse
Lovely location for a family getaway, the hosts were responsive and kindly let us have a later check out on our last day. The decor is a bit old school, but everything was clean and functional, and the ensuites for every room were a big plus. The living and dining space was a highlight, nice and spacious for large meals, although might be worth bringing some of your own kitchen equipment if you plan on cooking a lot! The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, just be prepared to drive to pubs or shops nearby. Thanks for a lovely stay!
