Waterfront Cottage on the Beach In Beautiful Dorset Countryside Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous location, warm fires, excellently equipped kitchen, comfortable beds...a bit tatty around the edges and could do with some TLC, updated bedding etc but the positives more than compensated for any very slight niggles. We will book it again. "
