Is Snowdrop Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Snowdrop is primarily designed as a romantic retreat for couples, with just one bedroom. While children could technically stay, the property lacks specific child-friendly features. Nearby attractions like Moors Valley Country Park (17.9 miles) offer family activities, but the cottage itself, with its hot tub focus and vineyard setting, is better suited to adults.
For Couples
Snowdrop is tailor-made for couples seeking privacy and romance. The open-plan layout creates an intimate atmosphere, while the private hot tub offers starlit relaxation. Wake up together in the comfortable double bed, enjoy breakfast on your patio, then explore the vineyard. Evening BBQs and countryside views complete the romantic package.
Pet Friendly
Despite the property description mentioning "canine companion" in its summary, Snowdrop is actually not pet-friendly according to the detailed information provided. Couples looking to bring their dogs would need to find alternative accommodation in the Dorset area.

Snowdrop Reviews

We stayed at snowdrop for five days, had everything we needed for our stay, but a few things need a bit of tlc, like picture hooks left without a picture, curtain rail up no curtains, doors and walls need re painting, stain on bedroom ceiling. The first two days, were noisy in the mornings, loud music by a family in the manor house, luckily quietened down so we were able to relax enjoy the peace and quiet, which we wanted. The bed was very comfy, great shower and clean. Courtyard was lovely in the sunny mornings and evenings. Hot tub was so relaxing, few days it was not working probably, fixed after maintenance checks. Had a walk through the grounds to the golf course, stopped for lunch. A great location to explore Poole. We loved our stay, would stay again.
