Old Bakery Wing - 13th - 15th January

Just spent two fantastic nights enjoying Sandra and Simon's hospitality in this brilliant B&B. Great location - and we were blessed with beautiful January sunshine - but what really made the trip was the quality of the accommodation and the fact that nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel completely at home - rather than like slightly unwanted guests in someone else's home, as can sometimes be the case. The bakery is the perfect place to relax - either taking in the views on the chaise longue or taking in the bubbles in the jacuzzi! The breakfast was delicious, and Sandra's recommendations - of pubs to eat in, of cycling routes and of taking a trip to Ringstead Bay - were perfect. We'd go back in a flash - don't think twice, book yourself a break here!
Room Tip: Spend a tiny bit more and go for the bakehouse itself!

Many, many thanks for a wonderful relaxing stay in your beautiful house.
It has been an absolute pleasure staying here, making working away from home exremely enjoyable.
I will return next year with the family for a quiet weekend break.

Our first night away from the children in 2 years - we couldn't have asked for more (except the grandparents to babysit for another night!) The welcome from Simon & Sandra, & of course Henry & Bertie, was just the start of the excellent service.  The accommodation in the Old Bakery itself is second to none & so much more than a B&B, and so much more personal than a hotel.  The Antelope is a great local pub - great to pop in for a drink or 2, & Simon and Sandra's breakfasts are brilliant.  Thank you for a lovely night - just sorry we couldn't stay for longer - the best B&B we have ever been to!!

Dear Sandra & Simon,
Thank you so much for making our stay a very relaxing one.  From the moment we arrived you made us feel so welcome.  Although my husband was working nearby one of his daily highlights was the wonderful full English Breakfast.  Hopefully we'll return in the future.
Regards
Many Ann & Tim and Bump

7th -8th October (White bedroom)
A comfortable, quiet, warm, beautiful both inside and outside home tastefully and sensitively decorated. Very welcoming, friendly and professional hosts.  Thank you very much indeed.  Definitely one to re-visit.

Thank you for such a relaxing break.  What a beautiful house!  Really slept well in the lovely comfy bed, and the breakfasts were great.
Jane & Chris (Shepperton)

16th-22nd September (Large Superking bedroom)
The Old Causeway Bakery is the perfect base to explore The Blackmore Vale and wider afield.  Search out woolly pigs on Bulbarrow or play a round of golf at Mr Rosenblum's course near Ibberton.
Sandra and Simon are the perfect hosts.  Having spent the past six days at this truely luxury B&B, it's become a sanctuary from relative visiting, a haven to return to late afternoon before joining Simon (and sometimes Sandra) for a pint or so across the road at the Antelope. 
Thank you Sandra for the easy communication over the last six months since booking my stay from Sydney and for your responsiveness to any request.  It has been a delight getting to know you and Simon and hope we can remain in touch.
Simon - what a wonderful blend of debonair......and practicality.  Great breakfasts and have enjoyed immensely your company.
Well done in creating a B&B of such high standard.

14th-16th September (Large superking bedroom)
Simon & Sandra - Supreme hosts, tourist guides and breakfast chefs - thank you for you kind hospitality - our stay has been short but most enjoyable.  Thank you for all your extra help in finding walks, pubs for evening meals, etc.
May you & your B&B business go from strength to strength.
Derek & Juliet

When we came the first time we thought it was superb!  This time we have topped our expectations.
Sandra and Simon, you are lovely warm, kind and generous hosts who put such a large amount of effort into making guests feel welcome and wanted!
We shall be returning and look forward to staying with you again like "old friends".
Thank you,
Christine, Derek and of course Burghley (German Pointer)
Love to Bertie & Henry x.

23rd-26th August (Old Bakery Wing)
Thank you Sandra & Simon for making our midweek holiday wonderful!  It's so lovely to have found a B&B with our own space, yet 2 very friendly, helpful & informative people, and 2 lovely gorgeous dogs, on the other side of the door!
The breakfasts were lovely, Jacuzzi bath amazing after walking in the rain (or running!), and the superking bed very comfy (after sleeping in a tent in the rain especially!)
Thank you for being so helpful and kind without being at all intrusive, and for advising us of local pubs where we had some lovely food!  You have a lovely place here - keep up the good work!
Vicky & Laurence, Newcastle

22nd August
Well accommodated at short notice.  All important comfy bed and lovely breakfast.  If ever you venture out of England into Cornwall, perhaps we could return the gesture at Trenethick Farmhouse!
(I have a feeling that we may have benefitted from more than a one night stay!!)
Best wishes John & Amanda

Mon 27th-Thurs 30th June 2011
After a quick search of the internet for a short break in Dorset, we came across this Gem!  Lovely comfortable accommodation, wonderful amenities.  Very laid back and relaxing atmosphere.  The breakfasts fill you up until tea-time.  Wonderful location for visiting places of interest & the beautiful Dorset coast.  Sandra is a tour guide with oustanding knowledge of the area, she can give so many ideas of places to visit and eat. 
Thank you Sandra & Simon for a lovely relaxing break - we will definitely return!
Steve & Jackie (Norfolk)
P.S.  Henry nearly got  dognapped & Bertie is lovely too!  Hope you all have a lovely time at the wedding!

24th-26th June

What a wonderful place, welcoming & helpful hosts - Henry & Bertie, accompanied by their owners, Sandra & Simon, do a brilliant job in creating a peaceful atmostphere.  The breakfasts are lovely, bed soo cosy, and the Jacuzzi - wow!  (don't put bubbles in!!!)  A fantastic place to chill out.
Thank you so much for everything.
