    We had a super few days. Toby was so helpful during our stay. Fabulous location and views. It was so peaceful and relaxing too. Everything you could need for the kitchen and bathrooms was there. Loved the walk on the coast path to the Smugglers Inn and enjoyed some yummy food. Also the cafe in the carpark does some delicious food too. Would definitely stay here again :-)

    Jackie was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. The location is perfect and the flat was immaculate. The bedding was lovely quality and lots of little touches such as tea, coffee, milk, blankets and lots of cushions just made it so homely. The large rainfall shower and huge bath were perfect. The kitchen is a great size too and the door opens out onto the outside metal staircase which was lovely on a summer's day. Thank you for making our stay so perfect.

    It was in the country side with a lovely yard and flowers. We loved the birds and wildlife. The cottage was comfortable and the summer house was a nice place to hang out and visit when you didn’t want TV. Great to give families options. Yard was fenced for animals and children. Gates at the top of the stairs and to the kitchen.

    The location was perfect for us, the accommodation was very comfortable, and spacious for 2 people. The kitchen was well appointed with all that we needed for a 3 night stay. The host introduced himself when we arrived and gave us a homemade (by his wife) Dorset apple cake. The hostess said goodbye to us when we left.
