  Rycross Farm Cottage is a tranquil and relaxing location for a break.

  The owners are very friendly and helpful and are nearby, but not intrusive. I arrived at dusk, and a welcoming light had been left on which made me smile. The cottage is bright and warm and the kitchen, although small, is very well equipped. Beds are comfy and broadband reliable. The views across the countryside are spectacular and I saw birds of prey and a couple of deer in the garden. There is also outside seating for visits with better weather. If the peace and quiet gets too much, the historic and busting town of Shaftesbury with its independent shops and Thursday market is only a few moments drive away. There is also a Tesco and a soon to be opened Lidl in town. For those coming from the south, if you find your way to the A350 from Blandford Forum and head north, you will reach a place called Cann. Pass straight through and as you get to the point where the 30mph returns to 40mph, indicate left and take that first turn which is almost on top of the speed limit sign. Rycross Farm isn't signposted from this direction and, if you miss the turn , it's probably safest to carry on to the first Shaftesbury roundabout and come back. This was my first post-pandemic cottage holiday and, if anyone is concerned about doing the same, you can choose this venue with confidence. It is clean and obviously loved. You can be as isolated or as gregarious as you choose. I can't wait to go back.

  The location is lovely & the facilities were just what we required.

  The Owner was a very nice Lady and very prompt to attend to problem of why Hob not working when I was right in middle of preparing food for our 53rd anniversary meal with friends due(instruction folder had been put in tv drawer across room instead of located near the Hob) Previous Occupier had set the childlock and we are not savvy with induction hobs! Unfortunately as we were putting food away in the fridge the brackets supporting the glass shelves started to crack up as have gone brittle and there was a near miss episode with the glass shelf collapsing on to the floor which could have been dangerous as I am disabled with serious leg disability. Fortunately the shelf didn't shatter. The shelves need replacing although the fridge/freezer worked well! My Husband thought it would also be helpful if each of the many fused switched Spurs were labelled so as to identify Hob&Oven etc Also he says it works have been helpful to have an Covered outdoor 13 amp power supply for our Hybrid PHEV car, as we do not use the type of charge facilities in the carpark. We enjoyed our stay though very much and thank the Owners for helping to make our 53rd Anni a happy occasion. The weather was good so we could get out & about this beautiful part of Dorset and enjoy using our NT membership

  We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Olive Lodge in early June and were pretty lucky with the weather so we got to enjoy the comfortable external furnishings almost as much as the lovely interior ones.

  The Lodge has everything you need to enjoy a week long stay, regardless of the weather (sunshine helps though!). It is ideally located very close to the local beaches, Avon Beach is great for those with mobility issues, and on a park with really good facilities which cater particularly well for children and the young at heart (rekindled our youth briefly in the arcades!). The on-site restaurant serves up a decent breakfast and dinner if you want a break from cooking in the well equipped and decent-sized Lodge kitchen, but don't wish to travel. The Lodge is a good size for a 4 person stay with two bathrooms, both with showers (one of which is very small but adequate). The multiple Velux windows help to keep the living area relatively cool on a hot sunny day and has a fireplace to keep you nice and snug on colder evenings. If eating out, we would say you can't beat The Rising Sun pub and Lins fish & chips (best ever!) for quality. If you are holidaying in the wonderful county of Dorset, we would highly recommend The Olive Lodge, which stands out as the best amongst its neighbours on the park

  A lovely cottage, in a very tranquil position where we got to see muntjac and other wildlife most mornings through the bedroom window, which was a nice surprise.

  Facilities in the cottage were good, the kitchen although compact, was very well equipped with plenty of utensils, pans and baking trays, so there is no need to worry about taking those scissors, bottle opener or anything else from home! We had no problems with the shower as previously commented upon. Just turn the shower thermostatic valve to its hottest temperature and its warm in less than a minute, then adjust to suit. We all slept well and the beds were super comfy, with plenty of storage space for our clothes and belongings. Nearby, there were plenty of nice shops, pubs, cafes and a large Tesco in Shaftesbury. We would recommend Ecco Gelato at the top of Gold Hill for the best ice cream and coffee, and with a grassed park area and benches, you can enjoy your ice cream whilst indulging upon the amazing views of Dorset. The cottage is in an ideal position for visiting Dorset and the owners are very welcoming.

  On arrival the Chalet was clean though I had the impression that the bathroom at the rear had not been cleaned thoroughly due to the washbasin having a large pool of liquid soap from the dispenser underneath the dispenser which was not leaking.

  The Chalet is pleasant to stay in and comfortable however the passageway leading from the main living area to the bedrooms/bathrooms is very narrow so that we repeatedly knocked our arms on the door handles as we passed, my suitcase only just fitted in the width of it. It was reasonably well equipped though on looking for a cheese grater there was none so I bought a cheep one, everything else was good with enough oven trays etc. The fact that we did not have our own parking space made things more difficult as we could not park next to the property and on occasions struggled to find a space. There is enough room at the side of each chalet but it is grassed and parking on this is not allowed. I struggled to connect to the wi fi and contacted reception, a man came and did something in the box outside and the wi fi was good afterwards, We enjoyed a good holiday and the lodge is a very pleasant one to stay in for a holiday.
