  • "Very nice cottage, well equipped, clean and comfortable."

    Games room a bonus. Very pleased that the garden was secure for the dog (many advertised as such haven’t been). The cottage is away from the bustle of Weymouth but it’s within easy reach. Stunning landscape all around.

  • "We loved the cottage, it had lots of character, it was clean, comfortable, extremely well equipped and in a quiet spot with access to footpaths straight over the garden wall!"

    The owner popped round and was very friendly. She told us she had been letting the cottage for fifty years and it showed, she had learnt what people need and had thought of absolutely everything. There was plenty of good quality crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment plus loads of info about the area and even toys and games! Thank you very much.

  • "This is our 4th time that we have visited Lower Farm Cottage in Langton Herring."

    We love it here and have brought our 2 children from when they were babies to now 11 and 7. The cottage has everything you need and is really homely. The cottage is in a lovely area which is quiet but has lovely walks to the back towards Chesil Beach and is in close proximity to all attractions such as Weymouth, Abbotsbury and not far to Lyme Regis. The children loved the games room and all the games provided in the house/shed. We would really recommend and look forward to coming back soon.

    It is very comfortable and cosy with a lovely big garden and a sun trap behind the cottage . It is peaceful, set in beautiful countryside with stunning views and excellent walking and very close to the Coast Path. We would highly recommend it

  • "The cottage was perfect for Christmas and we had a lovely time in a very quaint farm cottage, with incredible scenery and wonderful walks."

    We particularly enjoyed the real fire although it is important to buy kindling, logs are supplied and very plentiful. Everything we needed was there in way of crockery and utensils, luckily my daughter who had previously visited one of the other holiday homes at the farm, had warned us toilet rolls and bin bags would be in short supply, especially when shops would be closed for Christmas. Which is a fair way to travel anyway. So we had taken extra. Also the owner allowed us an extra hour to check out, to which we were very grateful. For 5 to get showered, packed up (we had a lot for Xmas) and clean the house as requested is very tight. We did also feel 5pm is very late to check in, in winter when it is very dark although the cottage was left very welcoming, lit up and with wine and biscuits, thank you. It was also beautifully decorated for Christmas. It is a very dark area though and unfamiliar if a first visit so recommend a torch. The description should be amended to say the Elm Tree public house is temporarily closed. We had booked a Christmas meal there and, unfortunately and very disappointingly, informed it was closed just prior to our visit. By this time the cottage was already booked. Hence we took a lot of food. It is very dog friendly and safe in the garden. The cottage heating was on timer and perfect for us. Just a note to be careful of the stairs. We didn’t find the games room, but there are a couple of games in the house and please note there is a key safe on both back and front door with the same code, not just the front door which was confusing on arrival. So maybe the description should be amended to reflect all of the above.

    The views are stunning and there is an excellent pub within walking distance. Dorset has so many attractions which will mean you returning again and again.

  • "Lovely cosy character cottage, it's exactly as described on the website."

    Lovely and peaceful location in a quiet village, but an easy drive to local attractions. Would like to thank the owners for our goodies on arrival. My husband and son especially liked walking our dog around the village, our dog especially loved playing ball in the huge garden. We had a lovely stay despite the unseasonal weather. Would definitely recommend this cottage, I would say if you have mobility problems I'd give it a miss, the path at the back of the cottage was quite steep and the loose gravel made it quite slippy when wet. The stairs could be a bit of a hazard, due to the low banister at the top of the stairs. Other than the weather we had a lovely week thank you

    We really appreciated the courtesy milk, biscuits, tea and coffee provided on arrival, a nice touch. The cottage was spacious for the four us with our dog and was also decorated with flags and bunting to celebrate the King's coronation. We feel the check in time of 5pm is a bit late, maybe 3pm would be better.

    The sloping fenced garden was ideal for our dogs and parking was fairly easy approaching from the rear. Both comfortable bedrooms situated on the first floor were accessed via a fairly steep staircase and the second bedroom had an ensuite WC and wash hand basin. The accommodation downstairs comprised a spacious fitted kitchen and a cosy comfortable front lounge with a bathroom and lobby area arranged at the rear. We will definitely consider booking this cottage again.

  • "We loved the cottage and the beauty of the countryside."

    Very peaceful but with all of South Dorset to explore. Only downsides were the difficult staircase for someone with a bad knee and think this should be mentioned in spec. Also the oddity of a loo in the second bedroom with its 3 beds rather than the usual ensuite with the main bedroom. But will be back to one of the other cottages which are more accessible.

  • "Lovely setting and within easy reach of amenities."

    Stairs were very steep, don’t recall a notice on this - would have been difficult for the very young or elderly. Bathroom could do with an upgrade, no mirror over the basin so shaving was messy! Upstairs could easily be rejigged to create a small shower and toilet serving both rooms, that would make it a dream cottage. Chairs in Longe seem to have a ridge in them. But overall, it was a lovely place to stay.

  • "The cottage was as described and we had a lovely stay for a week in October."

    Ideally located for walking the Coastal Path. Just a couple of things we’d suggest - better documentation on things like where the bins are, extra logs for the fire, etc. also, on our last evening there was an infestation of small flies in the lounge. We have photos of these if you’re interested. I noticed some fly paper in the kitchen so wonder if this is a known problem. It did spill out last night there to be honest.

Portesham 1.6 miles.

Resting in the quiet and picturesque village of Langton Herring, lies Lower Farm Cottage, a truly peaceful property in the coastal town of Dorset and close to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast and surrounding countryside.

Exuding character and charm, this traditional property boasts beautiful and original features whilst perfectly combining contemporary conveniences to ensure you and your family or group of friends have a superb self-catering stay.

Step inside this attractive abode and be welcomed into the sitting room, home to exposed wooden beams and stonework along with the added warmth of an inglenook fireplace, the ideal spot for cosying up on those chilly evenings as you enjoy a film or family games night.

The delightful English country kitchen diner is spacious and has all you need to rustle up a tasty meal for all to enjoy whilst planning your holiday itinerary or reminiscing on the past days’ adventures.

When night draws in, climb the stairs to one of the two bedrooms; one super king room and one triple room housing 3 single beds and an en-suite with basin and WC, along with an additional groundfloor bathroom with bath, over-head shower, basin and wc.

The cottage boasts a large south facing garden and sheltered patio area where children and dogs can play safety whilst you enjoy some alfresco dining in the warmer months, and just across the road next to the main farmhouse, you will find The Old Stable, a communal games room with a football and tennis table along with a selection of games and books to borrow and read at your leisure.

The bustling town of Weymouth can be reached within a 15-minute drive and here you will find a whole host of attractions for all ages.

Revel in a pure bucket and spade fun on the glorious golden sandy beach teamed with safe and shallow waters, perfect for taking a dip or getting involved in some of the water sports on offer.

The attractive esplanade is lined with shops, bars and cafes for you to grab a bite to eat or buy a souvenir to take back home, and the old historic harbour is a fabulous spot to sit and watch all the comings and goings of luxury yachts, fishing trawlers, tall ships, RNLI Lifeboats and across harbour rowing ferries.

However you choose to spend your holiday, Lower Farm Cottage is an ideal home away from home and promises to be a joy to return to each day after exploring all things Dorset.
