FranceWe would have loved to have stayed a bit longer to enjoy the comfort of Poppy’s lovely caravan. We really appreciated the welcoming pint of milk and yummy cookies that she provided for us. The location of the caravan is great and we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere around us. It was ideal for us as close to family living nearby.

We had a lovely stay at The Rivers Arms, it’s in such a peaceful location but not far to explore the area by car. Our cabin was cosy, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a short break. We didn’t miss having a TV, it’s nice to have a break from it actually. The hosts were so friendly and hospitable and are working hard to please their guests. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and the property has a homely feel, cosy bar area and breakfast area and lounge with lovely vintage furnishings and china.

Lovely apartment, the host was friendly, helpful and hospitable, the place really exceeded our expectations which was just as well because it rained the entire time so we were grateful to have a lovely place to stay! The location was great too with good views and walking distance to the beach.

This is a stunning hotel. It has a fantastic location and in the sunny weather that applied during our stay it's hard to think of a better place to stay with a great view of the river and the superb gardens.

We had a lovely stay in Swanage. The apartment in particular was really clean, comfortable and very cosy. Parking was easy and so was access to the propery. The location was ideal and only a 5 min walk to the town centre. Over the weekend there was no noise which is very important when staying close to town. Matt the host was a pleasure to deal with and had some great recommendations.

The liaison with the owners was excellent. They provided information on access, parking, departure, equipment and local information on places to visit/ restaurants.
It is a Grade Two building that has been tastefully refurbished. The flat was very well equipped and very clean. Great location, right in the town centre. They also provided a parking permit for a car park 5 mins walk away.
Would recommend this to everyone. Fabulous place to stay.

Amazing place to stay. Clean and family friendly with so much to do on site. Lovely quiet location in the countryside yet only minutes by car to Dorchester and it’s amenities.
Games room and tennis courts were a real hit for us as a family with a 5 year old son. And the hot tub was a great way to relax under the stars.

Location was great, lovely clean caravan providing all we needed for our stay. Cute garden decorations. Some games found that children enjoyed playing and books reading. Everything was just great. It was quite windy first days but we finally enjoyed our last breakfast at the decking on terrace. Very responsive hosts answering all our enquiries promptly. Really beautiful place to stay!
