What our customers say about their holidays

  We loved our short stay in Little Steppes. The cottage was cosy and well equipped with everything we needed for a self-catering break. The décor is tasteful and furnishings comfortable. The shower and bath were lovely and the bed firm but comfortable. It is dog-friendly, which is a huge bonus: there is a courtyard garden for late night visits plus a green space at the bottom of the road. There were some nice welcoming touches: tea, coffee, milk and sugar, plus biscuits for us and treats for the dog. Little Steppes is an easy walk (one mile or so) from Swanage town centre. It is in a lovely, quiet area, next door to a church and surrounded by other heritage buildings. The main bus routes run along the bottom of the road, which was terrific for us as we were completing the South West Coast Path walk. A convenience store, two pubs, an Indian restaurant and a chippy are all within very easy walking distance (2-10 mins). Although there is no allocated parking space, we had no trouble parking a few steps away from the cottage. We absolutely loved Little Steppes and didn't want to leave. Thank you. We will book with Original Cottages again.

  Property was very clean and cosy. However, the kitchen contains equipment you may never use and not things you would. Eg. No vegetable knife, I had to cut an apple with a carving knife, cafetiere too small to make 2 decent cups of coffee, no large glasses. Are 6 Champagne flutes necessary? In the cottage info it said a few extra logs outside the back door but there wasn't. Also more can be bought locally......where? We are total strangers to the area. It turns out they the place to buy is about 50 yards away up the road, why not say? Found by pure chance! As the cottage was very well heated, ths wasn't an issue but an observation. I thought the outside area could have looked tidier and the paths cleaner. Why was there a block of wood behind the gate? Had to really push hard to get it open. I've said all of this because you asked! But we did have a very pleasant weekend in a beautiful part of the country. PS. Hope the smoke alarm got fixed

  Lovely bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac near the beach and very close to a good pub and walkable to local amenities.

  The welcome pack was much appreciated particularly the treats for the dog. Living area very comfortable although the tv is in a strange location. We liked the extra loose chairs when an alternative to a sofa is preferred. Bedrooms both comfortable and plenty of towels provided. Again the bedroom tv was strangely located not facing the bed. The toilets and bathrooms were very clean and modern. We did have to buy a few tea towels as these were not available and a pint glass or two and some larger mugs wouldn't go amiss. The garden is perfect with attractive raised beds, complete privacy and totally secure for dogs. Overall a fantastic property in a great location.

  The cottage was quirky and had a couple of nice touches for our arrival - biscuits for us and the dog. The bedroom was light and airy and the matress firm but comfortable. As the name suggests steps feature throughout the property so don't stay here if you struggle with steep or deep stairs. The outside area was a nice touch for breakfast in the sun. It was a 10 minute walk into the centre of Swanage but there is an Indian restaurant and a lovely fish and chip shop at the end of the road as well as a pub and a shop nearby. From the cottage you can access the many footpaths in the area - bring your walking shoes and explore the stunning scenery at your disposal.

  We stayed at Little Timbers from 20th sept to 27th 2024 and really enjoyed our break in the New Forest .

  On arriving we received a very warm welcome from Geoff the owner . The cottage provided a comfortable stay with all the equipment we required . Set in a lovely enclosed well maintained garden which our collie dog loved to have a wonder in . Very clean and well presented . Excellent to have parking space on Geoffs driveway and close to a great pub and close to shops in Ringwood Little Timbers was a great base to travel to & explore all areas of the New Forest Geoff was a great host and Littjle Timbers was excellent accommodation . Definately well worth a stay and we will make a return visit Keith & Jen Boulton
