Rosedale House is a lovely house with plenty of space. It is well equipped and comfortable. There were one or two minor issues but they in no way detracted from our enjoyment. Corfe Castle is also delightful with three or four places to eat out. I have no hesitation in recommending this property for any sort of group.

A beautiful house in a wonderful location, close to the steam railway and Corfe castle. Very little passing traffic due to the house being located in a a no through road. The village itself is very busy being in such a picturesque and historic location. The extended room to the back of the house was warm, due to underfloor heating and spacious, Read morewith a large island, spacious fridge and freezer with water and ice maker. This room also housed a large dining table and a comfortable seating area. The bifold doors allowed the beautiful garden to be viewed from this room and the impressive patio had a large wooden table and chairs plus two sun loungers. In the garden, the summerhouse was a real treat, especially when the sun had warmed the interior, a very cozy spot. There is also a comfortable lounge separate from the kitchen/diner, very stylishly decorated, with a faux wood burner. Returning to the kitchen/diner there is a utility room housing a washing machine and tumble drier which proved to be very useful. All of the 5 bedrooms have en suites, which allows all the guests privacy. The beds were very comfortable, although I would have liked the option of a soft pillow as they were all fairly hard. The towels were white and of good quality. Unfortunately the noise from the bath being used and emptied by third floor guests was very loud in the bedroom directly underneath on the second floor. Outside, we were able to put our bikes in the shed which was very helpful. On the negative side, please be aware that you will need to bring bin bags, washing tablets/liquid, decent soap, shower gel, toilet paper. In recent times I have noticed that the amount of extras that owners supply has greatly dwindled down to a trickle which is disappointing in view of the cost of the accommodation. Those are only niggles, but its good to be aware beforehand. We had a fantastic week celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our family. Overall the house is well decorated, spacious and well equipped. Hide
