Great house. Exceptionally clean and well equipped. Plenty of space in all of the rooms and fantastic location for the views and the excellent pub. We were very impressed with the speed and efficiency that a small problem with one of the showers was dealt with. Would definitely recommend this property.

The little takeaway tea room is only open Fri, Sat and Sun so most shopping is a drive away. The area does have a phone signal though now which is good. Read moreSteep walks down to wild coves.

Great location with walks straight from the door, a pub in the village and easy road access to many places in the Purbecks. The kitchen was really well equipped.
