“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.

“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.

“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.

“Lovely owners and lovely accommodation.”

Picturesque setting in an area of Dorset that is off the beaten track and peaceful.
Mr Olliff August 2019

“It was a lovely, beautiful cottage which was beautifully furnished and very well equipped.”

The owner met us, showed us around and the left us alone. My only issue was that despite it all being on one level it was not so easily accessed for my wife who has limited mobility, to be fair it was not described as such, the entrance step was very high and no hand rail, the bath was also pretty difficult for her to negotiate but both were manageable with help. Unfortunately I had to do some work whilst there and the internet was not very strong, but again with a hotspot on my phone we managed, EE signal was superb. Overall it was a beautiful out of the way setting, several great places to eat and relax.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, we are pleased you thought the cottage was well presented, I am sorry to hear you had some difficulties whilst at the cottage, we feel the property is well advertised online. We have never had any complaints regarding the WIFI before, so I am unsure what happened during your stay, we are currently changing WIFI providers and having a dish installed on the house, so this should boost the signal and the property will benefit from stronger WIFI.

“The peace and quiet, the lovely warm welcome, the welcome pack.”

Ideal location for the South coast. We couldn't fault it. We will definitely be back.

“Very nice owner very helpful very nice setting very quite which was very nice.”

“We loved this cottage!”
Miss Morse November 2018

“Maple Cottage is warm and cosy and a real home from home.”

There was everything we needed and we loved the peace and quiet. The enclosed garden space was perfect for our dog, Angel, and she loved laying out in front of a real fire; something we don't have at home. We loved the personal touches and the care package on arrival. If you like stargazing then the dark skies here are hard to beat, and Elizabeth, our host, offered to loan us a telescope for the duration. Maple Cottage is one of the nicest cottages I have stayed in and I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to explore what Dorset has to offer. We hope to be back again soon!

“Peaceful setting.”

Pleasant host who was very helpful and even provided an unexpected welcome pack that was the best we have ever received. Would recommend this cottage as it had everything we needed.

“The instructions for finding the cottage were abysmal.”

" Travelling to the Property Continue to Bridge St/B3092 Drive along Glue Hill Take Pleck Hill to Taylor's Ln " Continue from where ??? I pointed this out to Sykes prior to travelling to the property, but apart from acknowledging my message, Sykes chose to do nothing.

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.
