Dorset Escape Reviews

Claire M.
We picked this place for my dad's 70th and it turned out to be just what we needed. The farmhouse was spacious and had everything we wanted, plus the location was stunning. The facilities were all in great shape, though the pool could've been a bit warmer. One thing that was a bit odd was the en suite downstairs opening directly into the hall, which felt a bit awkward and not very private-had to walk through the toilet to get to the bedroom. Still, we'd recommend it!
Emma Johnson
We recently celebrated a 60th birthday with our family, spanning three generationsand had an excellent stay. The house is spacious and perfect for bigger groups, with a cosy warmth that made us feel at home. We appreciated the little touches like some produce left for us. The location is handy, with a pub nearby and supermarkets just a short drive away. Everyone loved the pool and hot tuband the maintenance team was quick to sort out any minor issues. Great experience all round!
Claire
We had a lovely stay at this place! The location was perfectand the big garden was a hit with all three generations of our family. The rooms were comfy and there were enough bathrooms for everyone, which was a real bonus. The kitchen was well equippedand the barbecue made outdoor dining easy. When we faced a couple of minor issues, the host responded really quickly, which shows how much they care about guests. Definitely a great find!
Sarah
The farmhouse was spotless and well stocked. The pool, saunaand hot tub were all perfectly maintainedand the garden was stunning. Perfect for walks, everyone loved it-definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway!
Emma
We stayed as a group of 8 with 3 dogsand honestly, the place was perfect for us. There was plenty of space in the farmhouseand having the pool, saunaand hot tub right outside was a real bonus. The house was spotless and nicely furnished. When it cooled down in the evening, the big fireplace with a wood burner was just what we needed. The garden was dog-proof, so the pups could roam freely without us stressing. We all agreed we'll definitely return - can't recommend enough!
Emily
We had an absolutely lovely stay at Dorset Escape. The house was stunning, with gorgeous gardens and a really peaceful location. Everything was so comfortable, especially the beds - they were seriously good! The kitchen had everything we needed, two dishwashers were a lifesaverand the dining area was perfect for family meals. We loved the glass room with the fridge, the pool was a great sizeand the jacuzzi was a real treat. We can't wait to come back!
James
We loved the cottage - it's beautifully decorated and super comfy. The garden was perfect for relaxing, really well looked after. Our main gripe was the Wi-Fi, which was pretty rubbish the whole time, making the cinema room pointless. Also, the directions to get there could definitely be clearer; some of us spent ages trying to find it. Still, a lovely spot for a chillout break!
