The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Comfy beds and spotlessly clean. Great location to explore local beaches on foot and not far in the car to get to neighbouring towns. Old Harrys Bar at the end of the road serves great pizzas as does The Pig on the Beach. Would definitely return to this cottage in the future.

Having stayed at many holiday homes over the years it certainly is a rare commodity to find a stay that goes beyond the write up and glossy photos , In short it was the whole package accommodation, location and comfort.

Lovley little cottage. Very comfortable and well equipped. Great location for Studland beach and Old Harry Rocks. You can walk onto the heath straight from the garden. Definitely recommend.
