The Old Coach House in Dorset's Area of Outstanding Beauty - 1 bedroom
Had to contact the owner as the hot tub was not ready for our stay and had to be filled and warmed up. We then only had two nights in the hot tub instead of three we had paid for the hot tub via the booking agent but the owner was not aware of this !!!
