Peter
The owners were super attentive. We had a small issue which was resolved within minutes (no tea towel). We used this as a base to explore the local area including Poole, Bournemouth, Weymouth and Portland. There were loads of local walks for our German shepherd. We did not want to go home. We would highly recommend this place and will book again in the future.
