Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Just a little note to tell you what a wonderful time we had in your cottage. We fell in love with Litton Cheney and the beautiful, surrounding area and have definitely placed it on our `return to` list. We spent most of the time visiting your recommendations of beach walks, pub lunches and places of interest and had a truly relaxing time.
A lovely, well equipped house in an excellent location. We had a great time!
...We have holidayed in quite a few cottages in different locations but your cottage takes some beating. We hope you will let us come again.
Cottage very good with everything that is needed. Just like home from home, cannot fault it in any way.
Had first class meals at Crown in Puncknowle. Hope to be back.

Lovely cottage

Marley 12 Colchester
Review Submitted: March 14, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
What a lovely place to stay, away from it all in a pretty village.
This cottage is very clean and well maintained everything that you would need, home from home.
The owner provided a very good service and even left fresh milk for us to have a cup of tea on arrival, this was a welcome after a long jorney.
I would recommend this to anyone that is coming to Dorset but you would need a car.

I've stayed a few holiday cottages in the UK and this one was definitely the best. Everything you need for a very comfortable stay and well placed for sight seeing the Jurassic coast.

A great easter get away

MartinW Reading, Berkshire
Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
A very nice house in a nice quiet cul-d-sac. Went during school easter break so weather not great but heating and open fire were great at keeping the place warm. Ideal base for touring around the area exploring and some good walks right on your door step.

Sommerurlaub mit 2 Teenagern

juni1 Dülmen
Review Submitted: November 15, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Wir fanden ein sehr schönes, kleines Haus vor, das sehr sauber und gepflegt ist. Das Haus ist mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet, bis auf eine Kaffeemaschine. Die Betten sind sehr bequem und auch das franz. Bett ist für 2 Erwachsene absolut ausreichend. Im kleinen Bad könnten mehr Hängemöglichkeiten für Tücher sein. Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und kümmerte sich sofort um eine kleine Reparatur (Duschkopf). Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig, Handyempfang war nicht gegeben (Haus liegt im Tal), Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind mit dem Auto aber sehr gut zu erreichen. Die dörfliche Lage ist sehr idyllisch, man kann von hier Wanderungen in die wunderschöne Umgebung unternehmen oder auch Ausflüge mit dem Auto. Als Ausgangspunkt für Besichtigungen, selbst nach Cornwall (Tintagel) oder Eden Project, liegt das Cottage sehr verkehrsgünstig.
Insgesamt, absolut eine Empfehlung.
