The cottage is situated in a great village central for the Jurassic coast, And only ten minutes away from a large supermarket. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Rose cottage.

There only seemed to be 4 teaspoons and perhaps some ordinary eggcups would be useful.

Lack of phone signal is a slight nuisance. It really would benefit from a hand rail on the stairs. We enjoyed our stay.
