Wonderful cottage in my favourite village. It felt more like a home than holiday rental. Beautifully decorated and very well equipped with everything that you could possibly need. A lovely garden and a view of the sea from the upstairs windows, with sunrises to die for. Laura and Chris really helpful.

The cottage, as ever, was brilliant. Worth Matravers is a superb place for a walking/get-away-from-it-all holiday. It lacks amenities for kids, but there is stuff to do close by. And, of course, it has probably the best pub in Britain (The Square and Compass} literally on the doorstep.
