The E-Family
Bakers Cottage is very beautifully decorated and a cosy place to stay. It is in an ideal location to explore this beautiful town which has a tasty Baker's "Reeve's", highly recommended and a fantastic Indian "Chutneys". We spent our days out and about and enjoyed the sunshine in Swanage and The New Forest.

The cottage itself is a gentle poem - immaculately clean, lovingly designed, and filled thoughtful touches in every corner. Everything we needed was there, without needing to ask. Nestled just a few minutes walk from Shaftesbury, charming heart - with cafe's, antique shops and the breath breathtaking Gold Hill nearby - it was the perfect place to land. Even the practical things like Tesco, Morrisons, buses, banks - were right on our doorstep.
