Quiet, peaceful location with amenities close to hand just the place for a relaxing week. Property is very well equipped and the secluded garden at the back a bonus.
The cottage had everything we needed. The back garden looked out over a field and was secluded. So many walks nearby and not far from the beach. The local pubs and cafes were very welcoming and all dog friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Lovely little cottage, comfortable and well equipped. Easy to find and efficient check in. Most enjoyable stay, convenient for walking and the sea. We loved the welcome hamper for us and and our doggie!
Lovely comfortable spacious cottage in a great location for making the most of the many local walks in the wonderful Dorset countryside. Good accessibility to the local beaches and other attractions in the area with the delightful Beaminster town centre only a short walk away from the cottage. The pretty garden was an unexpected bonus and perfect for relaxing in at the end of the day. We really enjoyed our stay and are keen to come back !
Cottage is exactly as described and very well set up. Lovely design choices that make for a cosy and quiet break away. A lovely welcome box on arrival and prompt responses from the owner both during and before our trip. We would certainly hope to be back atbsome point, thank you!
We enjoyed a lovely stay at this cottage. Location for walking to Beaminster town is perfect and the local Spar is just a stones through away. Cottage is well equipped and wifi was good enough for all 4 of us. Some lovely local walks around and never had any problems parking right outside. Would recommend to all..
We loved our stay in Martock Cottage.
We were especially looking for a holiday stay with comfortable and dog secure outside space, this was perfect at Martock, Eddie loved sitting on the bathtub bench and watching the wildlife.
Inside was beautifully clean and very charming. Very well placed for walking into Beaminster for food at some lovely eateries.
Thank you again x
The cottage has all the facilities you might need, and the Welcome Box of goodies was a nice touch. The heating came on morning and evening and warmed the cottage very well. We didn't need to use the log fire. The Spar shop, located a minute's walk away, was very useful. I can recommend this accommodation to anyone thinking about a holiday to short break in Dorset.
Arrived at Martock Cottage for a much needed break. And the cottage was perfect right down to the welcome hamper and treats left for my dog! The cottage is beautiful and felt so comfortable on walking in. Tracy and family clearly care a lot for the cottage and have kitted it out perfectly… you can tell that they love staying there too. Great for just chilling out and for exploring the local area and beaches. We had a great time thanks! x
We're a family of four and stayed for a week. The access was easy with the provided code for the key. The cottage provides everything you'll need for self-supply. Even a supermarket with customer-friendly opening hours is nearby. The cottage is well located for trips around the region. The communication with the host was excellent and always quick. An accommodation to recommend.

Great location
The cottage was well appointed, all the basics were covered and it suited us well for a long weekend. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and provided some basics too. I hadn't realised the bathroom was downstairs and whilst not devastating it did cause me some concern with night time use. The cottage was superficially clean, but there were some areas of inattention. I did raise one issue with the owner and apologies were given, along with a bottle of wine, but I hope that steps will also be taken to prevent reoccurence.
The cottage is stunning, beautifully decorated and finished to a really high standard - spotlessly clean and cosy.Wonderful location and the information left for guests is really helpful - we could’ve stayed longer and will be back for sure!!!
Comfortable, cosy and very nicely presented. The beds were the most comfortable we've had in a holiday home. The cottage was a good walking distance from the village centre and the host was very helpful and friendly. The cottage was ideal for the 3 of us and our dog.
Perfect property, just as described. Beautiful views at the back, as the picture shows. Convenient location with shops in walking distance, and a choice of lovely beaches just a short drive. Helpful hosts too. Highly recommend!
Excellent accommodation with quality welcome pack and everything close to hand. Incredible countryside and interesting coastline. Plenty to see and do!
The cottage was comfortable and cosy, finished to a high standard with lovely decor. Great location on the edge of the town with good walks from the cottage. Also close to the coast and some fantastic costal walks. Proximity to a great restaurant (the Ollerod) was also a bonus.
