We had a great time at Harbour Hill. The cottage is a nice modern house, with a kitchen full of up to date equipment (good cooker, washing machine etc), and a fire that works very well. The fire in the living room was very easy to use, and they provided lots of wood and kindling. The smart TV worked well, and the wifi was fast! The beds were comfy, albeit with very firm mattresses, and we both slept very well.The location was good for exploring all of Dorset, including houses, gardens, beaches and town visits. We would definitely recommend staying here!
