Characterful cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside and close to the sea, what more could you want? We had a great family holiday and really enjoyed everything especially the snooker table which was used every day. Considering how awful the weather has been we were quite lucky with the weather. We havent been to Studland for years so it was grRead moreeat to take our dog there and watch him race up and down the beach. Good food at local pubs too. Hide

Such a lovely, spacious cottage. We've stayed 4 times we love it so much. The garden is huge, enclosed (dog-proof) with lots of garden furniture. I always bring a few kitchen bits but never need them as the house is so well equipped. Great to have two en-suites and a main bathroom (as well as a downstairs wc). We hope to return for a 5th stay.
