If you want privacy and just the sounds of the pheasants, and the farm animals this is ideal. Being at the end of a road it there is absolutely no traffic noise. The space is cosy and warm. The hosts Carol and Derek can’t do enough for you and nothing is too much trouble. It has everything you might want in a romantic retreat or a base from which to walk the Jurassic Coast. There are loads of dog friendly places near by to have a bite to eat or drink. Definitely a gem! Thanks Carol and Derek! read less – 02 Nov 2019

never the less, the apartment was lovely, we cooked for ourselves and everything we needed to do that was provided.
The part of the world (Hell Lane), where Derek and Carol live is just perfect for wandering. The piece of their residence that they offer visitors to base themselves is excellent, our thanks to them. read less – 11 Mar 2019

Carol and Derek met us but as they were due to go holiday the same day they introduced us to their friends who were looking after the property. They were lovely, friendly hosts answering all our questions throughout our stay.

Our two pugs loved their stay – they loved the walks on the doorstep and the dog blanket that was provided for them to sleep on. We especially liked the small enclosed garden which meant that we could sit outside or inside with the door open so the dogs could wander in and out without us having to worry about them.

Lovely place to stay and we would love to come back sometime. read less – 18 Jun 2018

We stayed here just for one night but will definitely be back. A fab space, perfect for 2 people and doggy friendly, newly done, it has everything that you might need. It is at the end of a quite lane with views of the beautiful Dorset hills, literally 5 mins drive from the fantastic Seatown beach, the rolling south coastal walks and breathtaking views from Golden Cap. Carol and Derek were amazing hosts, accommodating, super friendly and happy to help with the all important local knowledge. 100% recommend this place .. peace and quiet and totally relaxing.

The homely touches really made our visit special, fresh eggs from their hens on arrival, and a beautifully presented room. We felt instantly at home. Our hosts were very warm and welcoming, offering us a lift into the village in the evening so that we could visit the local pub – joining us later on for a drink.

The area is ideal for those with dogs, everywhere we went dogs were welcome – this is only one of the few homes we have viewed that were openly dog-friendly. With the wonderful heated floors a dog would be happy even without a bed! And the two resident dogs were lovely!

Had such a lovely time, made even more special thanks to Carol and Derek! read less – 01 Apr 2018
