Snug barn conversion, although good space for family of 4. Good base for exploring local beaches and countryside, and get away from it all. Handy games room for the children.

Property as excellent - very clean, spacious and good sized rear garden plus beautiful views of surrounding countryside. Only one negative - the bathroom shower - was very average and not easy to adjust for anyone under 5 feet two. Everything else was spot-on.

Booked the property for my birthday weekend, the location is picturesque and peaceful. Adrian was very welcoming and friendly, as well as his daughter. The property has everything you could ask for, and the garden was perfect for the pups to run about in. Would definitely recommend and will probably return in the future.

We enjoyed our stay at Buckingham Cottage. The cottage was very clean and exactly as advertised. Our daughter aged nine loved feeding the two horses at the bottom of our garden. She really did not want to leave. We would definitely recommend this property.

This was a lovely little cottage. Very comfortable and the owners were great. It was in the middle of no where and was so peaceful, made perfect with the beautiful horses in the field at the bottom of the garden who always came over to see us all and put dog. The kids could wander and often went trekking in the fields searching for the different wildlife. Will certainly be back.

Short and sweet. The property, location and owners were all excellent. We had a lovely week and filled everyday with fun because the location was so close to everything we needed. Our dog spent the week with us and loved the garden and surrounding areas of the property. Thanks for a brilliant week. Andy

Such a wonderful property. Set in a very quiet area with stunning views across the hills and fields. All you need for a relaxing stay in this beautiful part of Dorset. Adrian and Sue were so welcoming they had thought of everything you would need. Luckily we were blessed with an early heatwave which added to the enjoyment of our short break, lots of walks and picnics. We didn't want to leave even our dog was relaxed,!
