"We travelled to Thatch Cottage for a three night stay for my 50th birthday extravaganza. The communication with our hosts as excellent and the check-in process was simple. The property is amazing and the facilities were perfect for our needs. The local area is lovely with plenty of things to do for all ages and interests and the property is the perfect base if you just want to relax.

Remodelled historical cottage, super location, w/hottub
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (23)
"This was a lovely property in a beautiful location. The garden was great for the two dogs that we brought. The host showed us around when we arrived and said if we needed anything just to ring this was comforting. The only slight draw back was it could have been a little cleaner in fact there were a pair of knickers under one of the beds presumably left by a previous tenant!"

Buckingham Cottage : Idyllic Getaway Cottage in the rolling hills of Dorset
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (71)
"This was a lovely little cottage. Very comfortable and the owners were great. It was in the middle of no where and was so peaceful, made perfect with the beautiful horses in the field at the bottom of the garden who always came over to see us all and put dog. The kids could wander and often went trekking in the fields searching for the different wildlife. Will certainly be back. "

Holly Cottage Poole. Quaint Thatch. Jurassic Coast
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"The cottage is lovely. I was a little surprised/disappointed by the close proximity of other houses as the pictures make it look quite rural. A good sized cottage with a beautiful garden leading out onto a recreation ground which was ideal for the children and walking the dogs. The cottage was well equipped and spacious with modern amenities including a lovely coffee machine and range cooker. Unfortunately there were somethings that we felt could be improved on. The beds were...

"This was an ideal location for us to attend a family gathering in nearby Wimborne. A very busy main road but as the property was located away from this we had no road noise. Very close (walking distance) to a good range of local shops. Probably use again."

"We had a wonderful weekend in Wimborne staying at the Town House. Communication from Claire was excellent and the house is as described. Everything was super clean and well maintained, the beds were comfy, showers were fantastic and the kitchen was well equipped. House is located in the heart of Wimborne and we enjoyed afternoons on the beach in Poole and mornings exploring the Stour Valley with the dog. Great meal at Wimborne Pig and cheese and wine at Renoufs Wine Bar. 100% recommend."

"Amazing vineyard views, the hide is done out beautifully with all the pots and pans you need for indoor or outdoor hob or bbq cooking so you need to bring nothing. Wood burners in each room and a fire pit outside for cooking/ marshmallow toasting makes it so cozy! Hot tub is so much fun to heat with the wood burner and so relaxing to look over the vineyard sat with a glass of vino. Completely isolated and so peaceful. hosts are so friendly and helpful. We booked the vineyard tour and cheese and...
