• "Such a pleasure to stay in this beautifully presented cottage, a real 'home from home'."

  The cottage is situated in a pretty little village and offers easy access to tourist attractions all over the county and is within a few minutes walk of the village pub with great food options. A big 'thank you' to the owners for making us feel so comfortable and for the 'treats' on arrival.

• "Everything you could need for a break away."

  Clean, bright and homely from the card and wine left by the owners to meeting her and having her recommendations for local attractions to good places to eat. Great value for money and would return if we go back to that area.

  Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback Dawn. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay at the Rectory Coach House."

  It was perfect for us, holidaying for the first time without kids for several decades. The property was well equipped, comfortable and located in a tranquil small village in the shadow of an impressive Rectory building in which the owners live. Depending on the purpose of your stay, if it's to remain on site, walk to the local pub and relax, it's perfect. If you like to visit local places, you will need a car but the likes of Bath, Wookey Hole caves, Weymouth and Yeovil are all within a 1 hour drive through some lovely countryside and villages so not an issue for us. The owners were very friendly and helpful and there was plenty of information within the property pack detailing local supermarkets, restaurants, things to do, etc. We would definitely recommend booking the carvery on a Sunday at The King's Arms in East Stour - very nice food and friendly staff and owner - we also ate in there during the week to try some of the other dishes on the main menu. A visit to Gold Hill (where the 1970s Hovis ad was filmed) and the abbey in Sherbourne are recommended. All in all, a lovely, well-equipped property in peaceful surroundings which allowed us to relax and recharge from our hectic lives and a good base to go and explore.

  Thank you for your feedback Dean and for your recommendations, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner

• "The coach house is a little gem, we was met by Linda and she made us feel most welcome and helpful with the local attractions."

  The property is well equipped and comfortable, rooms are large and light with great views across the countryside. Outside you have a private courtyard so you can enjoy breakfast in the sun. The location is in a small village very quiet, with a nice pub 3min walk away (The Stapleton Arms ) serving perfect food not to be missed, also well situated for getting about and seeing all the sights and attractions, Would defiantly recommend to family and friends.

  Thank you Ronald for your kind words, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back at some point in the future. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely time at Rectory Coach House."

  The facilities were extremely good and it was situated in a very convenient position to see lots of attractions but it was also very quiet. The accommodation had everything you need and was very comfortable and clean. I have a back problem and normally really struggle with mattresses but the bed at Rectory Coach House was so comfortable I didn’t need to use my portable special topper. The owner kindly left us a few necessities including milk, tea coffee, wine chocolate and biscuits. We will definitely be booking here again.

• "The property was immaculate."

  We loved the flowers and welcome basket. Very nice. A big negative for us were the notes on lots of things in the house that said "Leave here". Also, there were exact enough plates and cups. 4 of each. (The big plates were too big for the dishwasher, you had to lie them down.) And also the fact that we had to shut the windows (We got an email at 08.10 in the morning!) even with just a drizzle, was a big negative. We had already checked and there was no water falling on the windowsill!

  Hi Klaartje, Thank you for your response. We have never had a negative response to the amount of crockery supplied before. Yes, we do have 4 of everything but that does include side plates, main plates, pasta bowls, pudding bowls, cups & saucers & mugs which has never been an issue and we do supply enough dishwasher tablets & washing up liquid for the week. I am sorry that you felt that the reminder to pull in the windows if it was raining to protect our furnishings was inappropriate as explained in our Information Folder but glad that you appreciated the Welcome Basket & flowers. Kind regards, Linda Property Owner

  We had a very peaceful, relaxing and comfortable stay. Linda made us feel very welcome and the basket of treats and bottle of wine were much appreciated. There's a great pub just a two minute walk down the lane which is perfect for soaking up the evening sun over a pint and a bite to eat. Ruth & JP.

  The description on your site reflected what we found on our arrival. The welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and wine, put us promptly into holiday mood! A very well equipped and comfortable cottage feel, in an excellent location.

  It's in the perfect location for exploring the whole of Dorset and further attractions such as Stone Henge and Cheddar Gorge. The village is quiet and the local pub was lovely and only a 2 min walk. The cottage itself was absolutely immaculate and was equipped with everything we needed and much more! They have thought of absolutely everything - a home from home. The welcome basket with coffee/tea/sugar, wine, chocolate and biscuits was a lovely touch. Linda was extremely friendly and obliging - nothing was too much trouble.

  Upon entering the Coachouse we were met by a pretty card with a lovely welcome message in it together with goodies to enjoy during the week Our host was extremely thoughtful and friendly and came to welcome us after we had a chance to settle in. The property is very tastefully decorated and cosy and it was lovely to sit outside under the pergola in the dappled sunshine. The village is very pretty, well kept and quiet with only a pub which was very nice with excellent food. There are also two supermarkets which are a short drive away. We had a very peaceful and relaxed holiday which was much needed.

• "Rectory Coach House is perfectly located for visiting Stonehenge, Monkey World, The Jurassic Coast, Shaftesbury and Longleat Safari Park."

  It’s situated in the very quaint village of Buckhorn Weston and has everything you could possibly need during a self catering holiday. The house itself is very clean, comfortable and spacious and sits within the grounds of a truly stunning Victorian rectory. The outdoor space is a good size complete with sitting/eating area and built in stone barbecue, all of which looks out onto a beautiful water feature in the main grounds. The owners are extremely polite and helpful and on hand if you require assistance without being overbearing. I’d recommend this property wholeheartedly and would go back in a heartbeat.

• "Place was clean and tidy."

  Does need to supply larger bath towel ( bath sheets would be better) or take your own as only one per person to last the week. If you intend to used the dishwasher would suggest you take some extra tablets as only two supplied but could do with more crockery. Television in bedroom would be nice instead of kitchen. If you are looking for a very quiet place this is the one for you.

  We are sorry that you felt the bath towels were too small so we have now introduced bath sheets which we feel will be more satisfactory. We have noted your comment regarding the dishwasher tablets and from 2021 this will be increased. Property Owner

  Would have bought these if I’d known. It was very helpful to have an airer, iron and ironing board though. Water pressure very high in the shower! It was a little tricky to get the right temperature though. However it did seem very clean and we enjoyed our stay.

  Thank you for your feedback. Whilst this is a self catering property, we have noted your remark regarding the toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets and dishcloth. From 2021 we will be providing spare toilet rolls, enough dishwasher tablets for the week and a dishcloth/scourer for the sink. We are glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise. Property Owner
