    “Great location for visiting Dorset’s many attractions including Monkey World, barely a 10 minute drive away.”

    Oak cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, always a bonus if you are mostly self catering. The hot tub was clean, up to temperature and ready to go, and well maintained throughout our stay. The garden was ideal for our dog, being secure and spacious. Also being at the end of the lane you have countryside right on your doorstep with walks and trails that look like they extend for some miles - or you can do a quick circuit round the lower parts of May’s Wood. The locals seem ...

    Oak cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, always a bonus if you are mostly self catering. The hot tub was clean, up to temperature and ready to go, and well maintained throughout our stay. The garden was ideal for our dog, being secure and spacious. Also being at the end of the lane you have countryside right on your doorstep with walks and trails that look like they extend for some miles - or you can do a quick circuit round the lower parts of May’s Wood. The locals seem friendly and the village is well served by a couple of pubs - nice food at the Royal Oak - and a very well stocked Nisa, all walkable distance. We also made use of the Basilico mobile pizza van that calls at Bere Regis on Wednesday evenings- highly recommend. As mentioned in previous reviews there is some road noise audible from the garden, so not for those who require complete silence - lots of birdsong though. Great communication from the owners and how lovely to have the welcome gifts including fresh eggs from their hens.
