There are lots of things to see and do (walking, Shaftesbury, Old Wardour Castle, etc.) but just staying put is a treat. The cottage is very peaceful and comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped. There is also a small library of some fiction and local history books and lots of maps. On clear nights you have a fantastic views of stars, as this is located in a Dark Sky conservation area. Bring your binos! The outdoor living area is just as beautiful with pots of colourful flowers and plants. There is a garden table and chairs, BBQ, and on the veranda a sofa. Stanley, one of the two cats, might honour you with a visit. He is very curious and friendly. Lois is the shy one. In bad weather, curling up on the sofa with a book, mug of tea and slice of cake is just perfect. We received a wonderfully warm welcome from the delightful hosts. Thank you! :-) We will definitely be back."

- "Smashing" - "Great property in a great location. As it was in the centre of Shaftesbury every thing was in a short walking distance. A property with typical heritage aspects, uneven floors, small staircase and low ceilings which all added to the charm. One has to go expecting some compromises in terms of space and modern convenience but nothing was unbearable. The dining room opening onto the rear garden path which led to the small lawn area, slightly disconnected from the house. There was plenty of hot water, heating and the wifi worked in most parts of the property. Improvement points would be a better equipped kitchen for self catering and a little more of the household consumables like dishwasher tabs, toilet paper and washing up liquid."

- "Great location and beautiful scenery. The only unfortunate thing was that I found it difficult to communicate with the property manager. She greeted us upon arrival, but getting into contact with her afterwards was difficult." - "This was a lovely bolt hole in the country and an ideal location for visiting wonderful local landmarks. The cottage was well equipped and nicely presented with a welcoming box of biscuits on arrival. Very quiet with tranquil views. The owners were over the driveway and extremely friendly. Salisbury, Glastonbury, Sherborne and the like were within easy reach as was Poole on the coast. An ideal spot and perfect for that relaxing getaway."
