Summary: Very happy with the property. It was a good size for our group to share meals. A lovely circular walk on the doorstep and very nearby chalk stream. A bit of a drive to local coast. It’s near a noisy road which you can’t see but you can’t hear it at all from inside the house.

Summary: Kitchen was fabulously well appointed, with a lovely outlook to the gorgeous garden. The evenings were cold so the log burner was terrific.

Summary: This was our second Christmas spent at Andy’s cottage. Perfect size for the three of us. Kitchen has all of the essentials and is a lovely size looking out over the garden and fields. Shitterton is a lovely quiet hamlet with lovely period, thatched cottages.Most of our time was spent in the cosy, spacious living room with a fire roaring away. Lovely place and Andy is a great host and responds promptly to any questions.

Summary: We had a lovely stay in this charming cottage. Very clean as well. It has a bathroom with a toilet and a separate toilet with a basin which is super useful as we were 4 people staying.

Summary: Enjoyed our stay at Swallows Cottage. So much character and lovely sunny garden. Only suggestions would be to have a bigger duvet on the double bed, particularly for the tall guests, and also more comfortable garden furniture. Otherwise, had everything we needed. Great location for exploring the Dorset attractions.
