Lovely short stay
My husband and I stayed with our large dog for a short get away in Dorset. We had a fantastic stay and will absolutely be back. The bed was large and comfortable, kitchen stocked with everything we would need and the living room was very cosy. The hot tub was an added bonus after a long day out walking!

Not luxurious as described.
When viewed 1st online, 14b Cattistock road showed the rear of a property with large garden. Reality, not so! Very narrow path to gdn, accessed from 2nd floor was not suitable for a large dog or to relax in. If the weather was wet, access from garden would be right next to bedroom. Not ideal for dog. Kitchen utensils were dirty or damaged. I do have Photos to back up this statement. Would describe this property as standard.

Great dog friendly bolt hole
We had a lovely stay, the property was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The location for us was great, if you like walking then highly recommend. Within 40 minutes drive there is a large number of places to visit and the village has everything you need. Pub within a couple of minutes walk as well as shops for supplies. Would happily stay here again.

The Old Coach House is excellent accommodation. Very well equipped and perfect for short breaks. It has a very comprehensive information pack covering everything that you will need including local walks, dog friendly attractions, places to visit and places to eat out.

Lovely cottage
Really lovely cottage with a nice garden area that is a sun trap. We loved the hot tub and the wood burning stove, close to beaches and local woodland walks. The communication with the owners was fantastic and they helped us with any queries we had. My only observation would be that the hot tub is across the drive rather in the grounds of the property itself and I wasn’t expecting that from the on line photos or description.

Dog designed property

Lovely luxury cottage
Lovely location, parking and great facilities. Cottage done out extremely well and the hot tub was a complete bonus. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom warm and well sized. Kitchen was extremely well equipped and we had everything we needed to cook a huge Christmas Dinner. Lovely relaxing place to stay with a touch of luxury. Note: We thought we had booked the larger cottage next door so make sure you check you have selected the correct one as the page advertises both! Luckily the sofa bed was fine for our daughter and she loved the fact that it came with a hot tub

Lovely Cottage
Three adults and three dogs stayed for a long weekend - and we had a great time, with plenty of room for all. The cottage has been finished to a high standard and is very well equipped with all modern appliances. The log burner was very good and wood was in plentiful supply A nice touch was the fact that provision had been made for the dogs in the form of treats and towels, with a hose outside for muddy animals and boots. We will definitely be booking again.

Excellent Stay
The property had everything we needed, it was comfortable, in a convenient position to explore the area and the owners very accommodating. The little things like tea, coffee and milk on arrival for us and a pot of dog biscuits and two chews for the other member of the family was appreciated. All furniture and fittings were clean, comfortable and up to date. After walking for miles coming back and relaxing there was a treat. Would recommend to others with a dog, there is even a train station in the village with links to Weymouth, took the strain out of parking there for the day.
