Just perfect so clean everything you could need beautiful peaceful location

Beaufully decorated a welcome hamper and fresh flowers most welcome Thanks for a much needed peaceful getaway

This was our fifth visit . That says it all

Lovely cottage well presented and very comfortable and we loved the hot tub. Nice welcome basket on arrival and dog towels and bowels provided. An ideal base for visiting different places would definitely come back again.

Lovely place to stay! Felt very welcome and great gift basket on arrival.

Excellent property perfect location. Recieved a welcoming hamper from the owner. Hot tub was the perfect way to end the day.

Susannah

Really well appointed place, comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners had left us a note to explain about a problem with the TV and when we experienced a further issue they replaced the TV immediately. Left with plenty of privacy to enjoy it and the provision of a hot tub added to our stay. The welcome pack was provided with plenty of thought and the added touches of providing dog bowls and towels was really appreciated. We would definitely stay there again, we like our home comforts so that speaks volumes from us!

Melvyn

A holiday des res situated in a lovely friendly village couldn't be nicer.

Very clean and comfortable loved the hot tub excellent stay .

Beautiful place Couldn't fault anything lovely well equipped kitchen best we have every had . lovely quality bedlinen and towels. Even our dog had some very posh dog towels left for him to use. The food hamper was also a surprise thankyou .

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break in the Coach House & have already recommended the Coach House to some friends. The Owners have made a fabulous job with the decor & amenities, with many welcoming touches, not only for us but also for our four legged beautiful boy. We very much look forward to a return visit. Thank you so much. Kind regards. Pauline, Paul & Barley

Peaceful setting and thoughtful extras for a relaxing stay in small village. A great selfcatering base from which to explore the area.

What an amazing, relaxing break my wife and I had at the Coach House. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The lovely hamper of local produce was a pleasant surprise and the accommodation was absolutely spot on. Clean, spacious and homely. Within easy reach of Poole and Bournemouth, but we preferred the small picturesque villages . The hot tub was an added luxury. We would definitely return and will recommend to anyone. Dave & Ali

It was a lovely place to stay, quiet and peaceful, but easy access to nearby towns

Jennifer

Fabulous location and beautiful accommodation. Lovely welcome hamper which was superb and really thoughtful. Hot tub was so relaxing at the end of the day and kitchen so well equipped. Complimentary bath robes very welcome. Local walks so beautiful. Only one slight issue was shower had very poor pressure but didnt spoil our stay.

Scarlett

Beautiful property. Excellent facilities and extremely comfortable. What a wonderful part of the world. We would love to come back to explore more of the area.

What a lovely, clean and very well equipped cottage! Everything we could wish for was thought of and we were pleasantly surprised by the hamper full of delicious surprises. The little village of Witchampton is so nice and peaceful and there's a lot to see in a short driving distance. We didn't use the hot tub, but we are sure that is very pleasant too.

Wonderful place to stay and delightful hosts.

The Coach House is a lovely, stylish holiday property. It is extremely clean and well maintained. The Hot tub is lovely and the bed was very comfy. Sarah and Andrew were very flexible as our hosts and made sure our needs were met. We never felt over looked whilst staying in the coach house and felt very relaxed whilst staying at the property and could come and go as we pleased. The Coach House sits in a quaint little village of Witchampton and is easily accessible by car to the main villages and attractions in Dorset.

Jeanette

Elaine

This is one of the best self catering accommodations we have stayed in. The village is calm and peaceful and the Coach House has character with an emphasis on the modern and everything you might need for a week away. Plus the hot tub is a treat and bonus. The provisions left for us were all local and there is a nod towards trying to be more eco in the household goods used. We liked it a lot and when back down this way agin to visit relatives will make this our first port of call.

Delightful stay in a clean, smart and well organised space.

We had a lovely relaxing time at The Coach House! The area is very quiet and peaceful which was exactly what we needed. The suggested walks were excellent. We did the Badbury Rings trail and it was good exercise plus a good walk to clear busy minds. We did also go to the Witchampton & Crichel Club for Fish & Chips on Wednesday night and the portions were indeed huge. The kitchen was nicely stocked with the bare necessities sugar, tea bags, instant coffee, salt, pepper, cooking oil all the crockery & cutlery and a cafetiere! If food supplies are required, it's best to go the Waitrose in Wimborne which is about 5 miles away. But all these recommendations are in a very well prepared handbook. Above all, the welcome hamper & fresh hen eggs were thoughtful and lovely touch. We had an amazing stay!

Richard

Beautiful accommodation, which you will want to return to. Lovely welcome pack when we arrived. A superb gem. Very comfortable.

Excellent stay, property was lovely and very well equipped. We had an amazing time.

We have had a lovely week staying in the Coach House Witchampton. The accommodation was clean and the facilities excellent. The Hot Tub was really good. There were treats on arrival which was an added bonus. The house is situated well to get around East Dorset there are many well signposted footpaths. We would definitely recommend this holiday house.

Belinda

The Coach House was amazing. We couldn't have asked for more. All the comforts plus more and the hot tub was such a bonus after a day out. The welcome pack was a lovely thought and appreciated. After a day out at Monkey World or the Tank Museum, it felt like coming home each day. Apologies to Sarah & Andrew though, we forgot to wipe out the fridge after emptying, both of us thought the other had done it, oops!!

What a fabulous place to stay. Very clean and tidy. We had a great hamper when we arrived. Good location and not far from all the places we wanted to visit in Dorset. Hot Tub was excellent to get into after our days out. Sarah and Andrew are very pleasant and friendly. Very recommendable.

Caroline

Fabulous property. Extremely well equipped and everything was of the highest standard. Perfect location within the Village with appointed parking space directly outside. Local village shop and Club a few minutes up the road. Plenty of information about local walks and places to visit which was useful. Welcome Hamper with local produce and eggs from the owners chickens were a lovely friendly touch. We had the best of weeks and would love to return. The hot tub was a great bonus!

Darren

The accomodation was spotless when we arrived and the food hamper was a nice touch.

We had a fabulous time at the Coach House fantastic touches by Sarah & Andrew with fresh eggs from their free range chickens, milk, fresh flowers, biscuits & so much more left for us on arrival & at the start of our second week. The hot tub was just amazing definitely the best we have been in & we have been in a few

We enjoyed a lovely week at the Coach House and the welcome basket was wonderful, filled with everything you needed to start your holiday. The eggs from the owners hens were also delicious. The Coach House was immaculately clean and comfortable and finished to a very high standard. The owners were friendly and helpful and on hand if you needed them, but unobtrusive otherwise. Thank you Sarah & Andrew for a lovely stay, we definitely hope to return.

Absolutely brilliant week away. Everything we needed for a relaxing time. The hot tub is something else and very nice. Very quiet village in the middle of lots of Dorset countryside. If its a chill out holiday youre after you couldnt do better. One slight warning the church is next door and they ring the bells

Lorraine

The Coach House was a lovely place to spend the week. It is well designed and spotlessly clean. Any issues we had were because I have a disability and the property is not set up for the disabled. However I managed to cope and would love to return in spite of this. The owners were very friendly and provided a delightful welcome hamper including fresh new laid eggs.A brilliant holiday property.

Catherine

Lovely break in a delightful. Holiday cottage, with every facility you could wish for. The property is spotless, well equipped with all you could need, there is an attractive courtyard garden, fully enclosed perfect for the dog and there is a hot tub as well. Even a hamper of local goodies on arrival and s selection of free range eggs from their own chickens.

Lovely stay, great facilities and the property has been finished to a beautiful standard. Nice to be gifted a hamper on arrival. Only recommendation would be some BBQ utensils to assist with the use of the BBQ. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
