Everything as described on Sykes. We stayed here for the Jurassic Coast Mighty Hike & enjoyed a lovely week. Welcome hamper & fizz was a lovely treat, thank you. We previously stayed in Troopers Cottage in Frome with the same owners, so we had reassurance that the cottages are a high standard. We werenât disappointed. We enjoyed walks around Weymouth, Isle of Portland, The New Forest, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Recommended & would stay again. Thank you.

Place was great, loved the hot tub and would definitely use again if we come back. 5 stars all round and enjoyed the welcome hamper too.Only thing I would add is that there is a better place to park (as there is aways parking). If you park on shrubbery lane just after the school there is a cut through to the high street called collins lane. 2 min walk to house max. Thanks again anna for being a super star.
