Family holiday
A beautiful home , where 9 members (age3-71 of our family enjoyed 6 nights . Plenty of room, everything you could need for self catering, lovely garden with hot tub in a fantastic setting. Communication with Gill was prompt and efficient. We visited Lulworth Cove and Weymouth, as well as Kingston Maurward Animal park( free), and had Sunday lunch at nearby Brewers Arms. Lots of nice walks too. I can certainly recommend this property .

Easter break - Chelsea Cottage, Dorset
We visited this lovely cottage over the school easter break with our parents, siblings and respective families (9 of us). The location and surroundings, cottage itself and the amenities, were all wonderful and consistent with the description online. We all had a wonderful time - lovely spaces around the house to lounge, for the children to disappear and enjoy their indoor and outdoor play, as well as a nicely equipped kitchen to enjoy food, beverages and social nibbles whilst having the extended breakfasts, unwinding after a long walk or preparing the big dinner :) !! Great location to explore the Dorset area and coastline....

A beautiful house in which to spend time with the family.
Chelsea Cottage was large enough for us all to have plenty of space. There was lots to do for the grandchildren. They played a lot in the games room and in the garden. We loved our family meals in the airy conservatory and relaxing in the lounge in the evenings. Our daughters-in-law in particular loved the hot tub! We enjoyed our daily outings, especially our fossil tour with the grandchildren in Charmouth. The Greyhound pub in Sydling Saint Nicholas served up a very delicious birthday lunch for my husband. All in all a really enjoyable week away.
