The Studio accommodation is finished to a very high standard. Light floods in to the property which is fantastic especially as my wife is partially sighted. Our dog loved the large garden. The location is fantastic, right on the Priests Way for walks with Worth Matravers a few minutes walk away. Lovely scenery all around!

We had a one week stay and enjoyed every second. Fantastic location, we visited Swanage, old Harrys rocks, durdle door, Weymouth and did some walks straight from the cottage plus more. The cottage itself was super comfortable and cosy, we had everything we needed. We had a Tesco and hello fresh delivery with no problem.

The location was superb and the garden was great for our dogs to roam around. The pub was within a short walk with minimal traffic so safe. The inclusion of internet and access to all TV (Netflix, ITV hub, I-player) was great for a quiet night in. The cottage had all the white goods needed for a hassle free environment.
