What our customers say about their holidays

• The G-Family - Verified booking

  Fern House is a recently renovated Grade II listed cottage, which has been beautifully updated with tasteful fixtures and fittings and a number of luxury conveniences. The spacious kitchen is very well equipped, the hob and microwave easy to use without needing a training course(!) and we really appreciated the plentiful food storage boxes for several picnics we enjoyed. There are more books than can be read in a year’s stay, plus games and plenty to keep you occupied in inclement weather. The garden, which comprises everything seen in the photos, has similarly been brought back to life, with older trees and shrubs, interspersed with judicious new planting. Walking out from the spacious and light larger bedroom, in the early morning sun, onto the fern-filled patio, is a joy! Be prepared to park in different spots on the main street, as it is a small village. We recommend: Evershot Bakery (place your orders for fresh croissants in advance!); ‘Thomas Hardy’s’ Acorn Inn over the road (which won 2 more awards as we left); The Electric Palace in Bridport (variety of entertainment); Rise in West Bay (looking out over the Jurassic Coast); Lulworth Castle (a real surprise!) and for the best Sunday lunch, including masses of veg and wines by the carafe, Winyard’s Gap at Chedington. We happily extended our stay beyond our one week booking - need we say more?

• Carol - Verified booking

  Left home in rain "was this an omen" cleared after Birmingham and then enjoyed lovely weather for the rest of our holiday.

  Accommodation very clean and comfortable and everyone we met very friendly and helpful. Every day we ventured out to to some lovely places in the area such as Weymouth, Montacute House (National Trust), Weston Super Mare, East Somerset Railway, Wells and many many more. Sat Nat was obviously enjoying itself as took us many times off the beaten track down single, winding and hilly roads with sheer drops giving our mother the jitters :-). Cannot recommend any restaurants in the area as we ate every evening back at the accommodation. Plenty of laughs had by all and plenty of wine drunk. Really enjoyed our holiday here and will tell friends and family all about our adventures, A huge thank you Ian & Alison, Thank you Beryl, Carol, Helen & Jane (Mother & Daughters)

• Julie - Verified booking

  Lovely spotlessly clean lodge situated in a very quiet location.

  Easy access to village shop and pub (only a couple of minutes walk). Lodge has everything you need, including a washing machine (although no dishwasher) including a family bathroom and on-suite master bedroom. We were given permission to bring our two small dogs and while the outside area was lovely it isn’t secure. A gate across to stop the dogs running off would have made it perfect. The cows in the field out the back do attract flies and this is the only bugbear. Don’t let it put you off - just bring the fly spray! Only a 5 mile drive into Sherborne for supermarkets and shops as well as having an Abbey and old and new castles. In all a lovely place to stay with easy access to Somerset, Dorset and Devon. I’d definitely recommend.

  I live in Charlton Horethore and booked both Poppy and Lavender lodges to accommodate 2 families for a pre Christmas get together.

  After the initial booking Alison liaised with me before the event, sorting out any queries I might have and gave us all a hugely warm welcome on arrival. The families were delighted with the accommodation which was really well presented and warm! Important for December! During the week-end Alison and Ian made sure they were around and we all really appreciated their efforts. Charlton Horethorne is, of course, well known to us but for those visiting for the first time, the village shop and pub are within a minute's walk and the lovely town of Sherborne just 5 miles away. Splendid dog walking country, we would highly recommend the area!
