    We found that the Annexe was very well equipped, cosy and quite homely. It was also quiet and peaceful with lovely views of the local fields and garden.

    The Annexe had everything we needed and more. Katie had provided fresh milk and bread, towels were lovely and soft and the fully equipped kitchen more than provided for our needs. Beautiful building and very clean. Had no issues whilst we were here.

    Floor at the bottom of the stars was a tiny bit slippy

    Was a wonderful property, got there and was greeted by the host who was fantastic and really helpful. The property and location are honestly the best we've been to and we're definitely going to be staying again

    More of an inconvenience than didn't like was the short steep flight of stairs. And that the bathroom was downstairs

    Katie and family were very friendly and helpful. The cottage was unusual in that the lounge and balcony were upstairs. Kitchen and bathroom downstairs. The cottage had all the amenities. Lovely views of the countryside from the balcony with occasional visits from some deers

    Amazing location in the centre of Dorset. Perfect for day trips both north and south. Lovely clean Annexe as described. Bed was really comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for self-catering. Sounds of nature from the Balcony in the evening was lovely.

    We did have a problem with the hot water as the boiler apparently tripped. However, it was sorted quickly and apart from a cold shower one morning, didn’t spoil our stay 😀

    The Annex was perfect for the two of us. It’s in a lovely location, surrounded by countryside. Everything we needed for a long weekend. Looks just like the photos!

    Everything was great but I would warn people the stairs are very steep if that might be a problem.

    The annexe is a cosy little cotrage in the grounds of a larger picture postcard thatched cottage. The house had everything we needed. The bed was comfy, well equipped kitchen, decent sized mugs! Nice powerful shower. Fab countryside views. Easy access to the rest of Dorset and Wilstshire. Katie was a lovely host.

    We cannot think of anything we didn't like - all great!

    This quaint, pretty little cottage is set in a lovely garden leading to woods full of bluebells (April). Very clean and comfortable, with well equipped kitchen / diner and lounge / bedroom upstairs. Extremely comfortable bed, good WIFI reception; friendly host Katie kindly provided little extras, biscuits, etc., and flowers from the garden!
