Had such an enjoyable holiday.
Had such an enjoyable holiday. The cottage had lovely views over the February snowdrops in the church yard, and is so close to the highstreet and the amazing views that Shaftesbury has to offer. The cottage was comfortable, clean and well looked after. All in all, a great place to stay and hope to return soon.
Excellent property. Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The welcome pack including milk, wine, biscuits etc was much appreciated and there was plenty of information re household equipment etc provided. Even good quality soap, shampoo too. A lovely place to spend a short break.
The house is beautifully appointed, with great sized rooms and located in the centre of town. The perfect base for exploring a lovely part of the world. A big thank you to our hosts!
