There was a problem with the flow of water to the basin in the bathroom. This was very slow.

We enjoyed our stay. The one problem was parking which was difficult sometimes difficult.

"This cottage was perfect for a stay in lovely Cerne Abbas for a few days as a small group of 3 people."
The village store, the 3 pubs and the tea room were all in walking distance, as was a view of the Cerne Giant. We used the location as a base to explore southern Dorset. The kitchen is well equipped and the cottage is light and sunny. The outdoor courtyard is appealing. Would be happy to stay again.

"We booked this lovely cottage at the last minute when our original booking was cancelled due to 'plumbing problems'."
We are so pleased as this was in a much better location than our original choice and the property owner had added lovely touches like leaving us some milk, tea, coffee - and biscuits! Also the location was superb in Cerne Abbas within an easy walk of 3 excellent pubs, a village shop and a tea room.
