A lovely cottage in a wonderful location. The rise in price is not unexpected but makes us think about possible alternatives.

We had a lovely holiday. More equipment needed. For example 2 garden chairs are not enough for 6 people. Lighting very dim. Plenty of lamps but very poor lighting.

We had a fantastic week at Wild Hill and would definitely stay again. The cottage was very well equipped and despite the weather being a little chilly we still had a great time visiting the beach and the beautiful Purbeck countryside. The Square and compass pub and tea room in the village were a welcome bonus and it was nice to be able to walk to tRead morehe coast right from the front door of the property. Hide
