Thanks for making us feel so welcome . Really enjoyed the countryside & just cruising around. The tour guide info was invaluable. Once again thanks for the hospitality. It was just what was needed after 6 weeks on the road.

22nd -29th May – Bakery Cottage – self catering

This was our 1st holiday with our 1st dog, Benji, (9 months old) to this part of Dorset & we could not have found (on the Good Dog Guide website) a more perfect cottage at The Old Bakery, in such a beautiful location.
Thank you Sandra & Simon for all the attention to detail the cottage has, it is comfortable, cosy & homely, particularly the lovely bed & Jacuzzi bath. It has everything we could have wished for & you made us feel so welcome. Thank you also for all your wealth of knowledge on walks, places to eat & visit. Benji has had a wonderful time with Henry & Bertie & all the visiting dogs.
We are both going home relaxd & rested from a much needed holiday & we will be sure to recommend this lovely place to family & friends & hopefully return ourselves soon.

When booking our accommodation from New Zealand we really appreciated your friendly emails and ready responses to our queries.
The cottage is lovely – and so quiet. We were converts to your Jacuzzi & Cath tried out all the creams & lotions in the basket in the bathroom!
Many thanks for the warm welcome, the good advice about where to eat and the clear directions about how to get there. A great place to stay.

We didn’t want to leave. We’ve had a wonderful break! I would have difficulty stating anything that could be improved in the self catering accommodation. We found it excellent in every way. Our hosts were very friendly (& the dogs too.) We look forward to returning as soon as possible – next time we hope to book longer.
Thank you.

A longer stay as promised, following out initial weekend in March this year. Great to have longer to explore the area. Your recommendations are so useful – we had a fab day at Burton Bradstock Beach and West Bay and Sherborne was a great place to visit as was the castle. Frome and Bath were further afield but well worth the trek. We look forward to returning to this lovely haven!
Thank you both,
