Big thanks to the estate team for a lovely stay! The Apple Day was fantasticand our granddaughters enjoyed the charming old-fashioned country games immensely. Definitely recommend!
Laura
We had an amazing week here! The house was spot-on - comfy, well-stockedand beautifully furnished. The welcome basket was a lovely touchand the outdoor area was perfect for sunny BBQs. Overall, super peaceful and just what we needed for a relaxing getaway.
Emily Carter
We had a lovely stay! The views from the property were absolutely stunningand the location was perfect for us. Our dog, a lively collie cross, loved the secure garden to run around and fetch balls. We also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day out. The garden room was super comfyand it was great being able to walk the dog straight from the door. The welcome pack with local treats was a lovely touch. Overall, a peaceful, quiet spot we’d happily visit again!
Emma Clarke
The cottage has stunning views and is perfect for families. We loved walking to Symondsbury estate cafe for brunch. It suited our group of eight really well.
Hannah
We really enjoyed our stay here! The place is peaceful and well-stocked, perfect for a relaxing break. It’s just a short walk to the local pub, estate shopand a lovely country walk to the restaurant. The location is great for exploring Weymouth, Lyme Regisand the coast. The garden was a real hit with the dogs-so secure! It’s not luxury, but it’s super functional and clean in parts. Just a heads up, there’s limited space for hanging clothes upstairs, especially if you have six adults. Still, we’d come back!
Emma
Honestly, we loved the stay! The hot tub was spot onand the views from the house are stunning. The wood burners made everything cosyand the big cooker was perfect for meals. Being close to Lyme Regis and Charmouth was handy, plus the walks to Colmers Hill were a highlight. The fresh bread and milk waiting for us was a lovely touch.
Emma
Really enjoyed staying here, the views are stunning and the kitchen had everything we needed. The extra cabin was a lovely touch for grown-ups!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay here! The lodge is super well-equippedand the beds and sofas are so comfy - perfect after a day out. The views are stunning, definitely a highlight. Just a heads up: if you’re not driving a 4x4 in winter, the roads can get tricky, so plan accordingly. Overall, we loved it!
