"Had a lovely week very quiet and relaxing house in the rspb nature reserve ..."
Had a lovely week very quiet and relaxing house in the rspb nature reserve Lots of places to visit Lovely big house lots of space and everything you need Will definitely go back

"Fantastic venue, the property was just what needed, size, location as we were coming from different locations, families wanted to be together but also part of the larger family group."
The Kitchen is really the hub of the house which suited us so well. All bedrooms and linen were clean and had everything you need. We would have liked to have had more control over the heating as at times it got cold has the heating was off from early afternoon through to early evening, we had two elderly with us, so they felt the cold more. We did contact the Housekeeper on the Saturday and she immediately turned up the heating for us from her App, it would just be nice to have more control yourself as the house was then again very hot overnight, its seems the timing needs a little adjustment. For one of the bedrooms upstairs you need to walk through another to get to the bathroom or to go downstairs, this could be an issue for friends staying. It wasn't particularly for us but we felt it should be mentioned in the property details. Otherwise a perfect long weekend for our family stay, thank you

"The property was ideal for a family get together over a long weekend and everyone enjoyed themselves very much."
However the property did have some shortcomings, it had obviously been well used and as such was in need of some refurbishment. For example some of the beds were uncomfortable and in need of repair, there was obvious signs of damp and not suitable for asthmatics.

"We were a party of 11 women, all family members, ages ranging from 20 to 75."
We had a lovely stay however, there was only enough garden/outdoor seating for 8 of us at a push. Hence the younger family members had to sit on the grass. Could have done with more garden chairs that could have been more comfortable. Cleanliness was good apart from the many cobwebs & dust. But apart from those minor details we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would definitely consider booking again. The house is in a beautiful location & we all agreed it we would like to return.

"The Studio was an amazing place to stay Very well equipped and very comfortable beds and lounges We are a very mixed bag of folks from age 6 being the youngest to age 76 ,all catered for with games for wet or cold days We were lucky had good weather so the outside excellent ,completely enclosed for little ones and dog and outdoor games Very close to natural playground for all ages ,walks and to other Dorset attractions ."
My only thing I would suggest maybe some hooks for outdoor clothes in the hall just inside the conservatory,for wet days Woodburner very wellcome on chilly evenings,as April still cool later in day.I’m sure we’ll go again ,maybe next year

As the evening cools, take your pick of rooms to relax in, with the formal lounge offering large sofas to curl up in as you bask in the glow of the woodburning stove or the snug, where you can select the evenings entertainment courtesy of the TV as you kick-back and relax on the corner sofa.
