“A great little holiday retreat.”

Well greeted by Elizabeth on arrival and always around if needed. It's fairly remote which was just what we wanted - though still with good village shops not too far away. Loads of local footpaths / bridleways to explore - never did the same morning walk twice with the dog - new every time. And quiet country lanes for cycling too.

“Beautiful quite location and a completely enclosed safe garden for dogs.”

Very comfortable beds. Bedding, sofas and cushions very good quality and clean, towels so hard we could not use them, thankfully we had taken our own, BUT rest of cottage is in need of a deep clean. Kitchen shelves you could write your name in, the skirting boards are thick dirt (not dust) and the walls need painting to cover the many scuffs and splashes. We did not feel clean staying there. We would stay here again but only if we could be assured that everywhere had been thoroughly cleaned.

Many thanks for your valuable feedback, we are very disappointed that one of our properties has seemingly let us down and not provided you with the experienced that we had hoped for. We will be contacting the owner of this property shortly regarding the points you have raised. Thank you again. Owner relations

“Maple cottage is a very restful place – so quiet and peaceful it’s almost another planet!”

Every comfort is provided for and a lovely welcome from the owners. We very much enjoyed our stay there.

“We wanted somewhere in the countryside away from the obvious holiday spots and this was in perfect seclusion.”

The standard of the décor and facilities were exceptionally grand. The addition of a very generous 'welcome' pack was totally unexpected and a wonderful gesture. The weather was regrettably wet but there can be no doubt that in a decent spring or in summer this idyllic cottage would be a splendid retreat. That said it is not far from the tourist interests and the wealth of excellent places to eat nearby more than met our needs. I think it is quite likely that we will return.

About the location

BUCKLAND NEWTON

Dorchester 12 miles; Sherborne 12 miles.

The West Dorset village of Buckland Newton, and its seven surrounding hamlets including Brockhampton, is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of Blackmore Vale, and at the head of the quaintly named Piddle Valley. The village is 12 miles south of historic Sherborne and 12 miles north of Thomas Hardy's Dorchester. Locally there are lovely scenic walks to be had, while a visit to nearby ancient Cerne Abbas is not to be missed, with its instantly recognisable chalk giant and numerous tea rooms and inns serving real ales and good food. Alternatively, travel south to the memorable Dorset Jurassic Coast, now a designated World Heritage Site, where many sandy beaches await you and provide visitors with great facilities for all kinds of water sports. Weymouth offers golden sandy beaches and a bustling harbour from which you can take a day trip to the Channel Islands. A short drive from here takes you to Portland Harbour and the rugged “Isle” of Portland, which is linked to Weymouth by dramatic Chesil Beach. With fascinating Sherborne and bustling Dorchester also just a short drive away, you really are spoilt for choice in this lovely part of Dorset.
