"Very nice cottage and extremely clean with comfy beds."
The owner left teabags, coffee etc but we didn't use them as I had brought some just in case there were none there. It was a nice touch though.
Well sited for visiting the area with plenty of nice dog walking routes.

"The Cider Press
We really enjoyed our week’s stay at the Cider Press, Coppleridge and wish it could have been longer!"
The well laid out property, all on one level, was beautifully clean and attractive. The beds, the sofa and chair were really comfortable. The heated towel rail meant the bathroom and the thick white towels provided were warm when one emerged from enjoying a powerful and invigorating shower. Everything we needed for a happy visit was provided including milk, tea, coffee and biscuits to welcome us after our long journey. The parking was excellent and the setting in the countryside meant it was quiet and peaceful. Having a pub, The Coppleridge Inn, hosted by a friendly landlord, that served food, just steps away, was very convenient.
The property was well sited close to Shaftesbury a pleasing market town. We had easy access to a great many attractions further afield, and driving through the glorious scenery to reach them added to our delight. Top of the list of National Trust venues we visited was Kingston Lacy. Set in beautiful gardens, it is filled with fabulous paintings and treasures, and manned by superb volunteer room guides. Among the many other places we enjoyed were Tintinhull Gardens, Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door… oh and Lyme Regis which completely won my heart.
From being comfortable at the house to enjoying exploring the area we think is the place to stay is the Cider Press and thoroughly recommend it.

"Excellent cottage with superb amenities."
A great base to tour the area with outstanding and beautiful countryside. A very nice welcome from the owner when we arrived. The community run village shop has many provisions available including a Post Office counter, a rarity these days. Plenty to do and see with some excellent pubs and restaurants across the counties that border the cottage location with the lovely town of Shafesbury 2 miles away with it's many independent shops, well worth a visit. Needless to say we will be returning in 2024. A very happy traveller.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cider Press and we would happily stay here again!"
The cottage was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Although there was only two of us, having the extra bedroom gave us space to store our suitcases and to spread out a little. Everything was super clean and tidy and it was also nice to meet the owners who introduced themselves when we arrived.
The location was great and we were able to visit lots of places nearby and further afield. We took a fan with us due to the heatwave, but the cottage was relatively cool inside which was good.
We would have no hesitation in recommending a stay at The Cider Press.

"The property was as advertised, and proved to be a good base to permit us to visit place in the general area that interested us."
A problem with the property door lock was quickly remedied by the owners following a telephone call to them. A new lock being fitted the following morning.
Hi Terry,
It was lovely to meet you and we're glad you had a good trip - there is so much to see and do in the area! I am sorry that the lock was misbehaving when you arrived, but delighted that we were able to get it changed super quickly. Thank you for your understanding and kind words and very best wishes to you both.

On the first evening we went there were around 10 dogs in the "doggy" area! The cottage was clean & welcoming and equipped very well. If you enjoy walking, this is an excellent base. We undertook spectacular walks centred on Cerne Abbas & Compton Abbas, both of which are only around 20 minutes drive away.

"The Cider Press is a really lovely place to stay."
It has everything you would want for a great holiday - a well-equipped kitchen, abundant hot water, comfortable beds, lots of fluffy white towels, cosy warm sitting room, fast wi-fI, very attractive decor inside and a generous outside space.
Caroline and Rupert made us feel so welcome and are very thoughtful. We really appreciated the tea and biscuits that greeted us on arrival after a hot drive from London, all the leaflets about things to do in the area, and their advice, tips and directions.
The Cider Press is in a brilliant location, only 3 miles from Shaftesbury which is a beautiful English town, close to several stunning National Trust properties, not far from the amazing Dorset costline, AND right opposite a pub which has a fabulous view from the outside terrace.
We will definitely be going back.
