Country Park.

Wessex Guests 15/11/2019

We loved it so much! We would love to stay again!

The Taylor Family 03/08/2019

It was a lovely stay. Loved the view of the hills. Really
enjoyed Middle beach and Corfe Castle. Hope we can come here again.
Thanks.

The Gowen Family 27/07/2019

Lovely house for relaxing holiday. Breakfast on terrace with views was very special. Spacious, clean home. Great dog-friendly walks from the door. Dinosaur tracks near the quarry were an added bonus! Warning though to drive very slowly along the unmade road. Easy walk to shop for bread etc but had Waitrose delivery arranged which was great.

Janet 24/07/2019

Thank you for a lovely stay in your comfortable house. We will
return hopefully.

Acklom Family 22/07/2019

The garden was pleasant and the two young children were able to run around safely. Kitchen well equipped and bedrooms pleasant beds comfy. The views were beautiful and relaxing. With 2 very young children it may have been more convenient to have s toilet on the ground floor also a further walk in shower with 6 adults. The only draw back was the condition of the road leading to the house which gave us a few scary moments otherwise an excellent property.

Taylor 03/06/2019

We have had a lovely and comfortable stay at Wessex. The perfect
retreat for busy friends. Walks, talks and food! Thank you.

R, K & A 18/05/2019

The house is lovely and it's great to be able to sit around a large
table, we wish we had longer.

L & W Families 01/04/2019

We have had a wonderful weekend celebrating two special

is a good idea for rock climbing etc.

31/03/2019

Ride on the Flying Scotsman to be remembered by all. We had a
wonderful stay here.

R & C Family 24/03/2019

This was a perfect house for a new year getaway, it was comfortable, spacious, warm and cosy. The welcome package was a nice touch. We struggled a little for fridge space, but that was probably down to the new year champagne taking up a lot of room! There were lovely walks right from the front door, the local pub was great, yet Swanage just down the road for any shopping essentials. A gorgeous place. Would highly recommend.

claire 10/01/2019

A great place to live in! Lovely area- thanks for everything. We
all had a great Christmas here. Everything you need in the house
and lots of room for a large family!

We found the house comfortable , roomy but cosy and loved the location . We enjoyed the village pub and the shop was handy , we also used the bus a few times . Would definitely return .

Sandra Clarke 16/02/2018

The accommodation was fine for all of us, glad of the extra lounge. Mixed weather but made the most of it, lots of footpaths for walking in the area. Highlight was trip to Brownsea Island.

This house is ideal for three generations to all enjoy a lovely Dorset holiday together. The facilities are great, the house looks and feels wonderful and the views are amazing. We will return as soon as we can!

Adam Nelson 04/08/2017

A spacious house with fabulous patio and BBQ area and glorious views. We were lucky to fine weather the whole week and appreciated the fact that we could walk over footpaths to the coastal path direct from the village. The house had everything we needed. One little tip for the owner - the rolltop bath is very stylish but an ordinary bath with full height shower would be more practical when the house is full. Luckily both the en suites had showers we could share. Have already recommended this property to a friend who is looking for somewhere for a large family holiday..

Rita Piper 30/06/2017

We all loved this accommodation, it was beautifully decorated and had all mod coms. It catered for every body's needs and well and truly was an amazing place. Its was great having two living spaces and the large garden patio set in the garden was the ideal place to use for my dads 70th birthday party. There's also a BBQ area. Its set in the most tranquil area, with views of the hills at the back and sea views at the front. I certainly would recommend this place to friends and family.

Deborah Norman 22/05/2017

A fantastic week we have so loved staying int his glorious house! It suited us perfectly, generous accommodation with lovely sea views and the sound of lambs. Thank you

The Christmas Cottage Curry Club 19/12/2016

Lovely house- accommodation worked for our extended family well. Situation and views wonderful. One of our favourite locations in Dorset so far. (a yearly holiday nearly always Dorset)

Spittle & McCorminck Party 08/10/2016

There were nine of us staying in the house, including 3 children aged 7, 5 and 3, and we found it very comfortable with plenty of space for us all. The garden is a good size, with a great view, and we loved eating outside around the large patio table. We had to watch the 3-year-old on the stone steps, but otherwise the children were able to run around outside safely. The facilities were good, with everything we required catered for. The location is outstanding and very peaceful. We would certainly recommend the property.

Katie Golsby 26/08/2016

The property is well appointed and fulfilled all our needs having 3 generations to accommodate.The setting is wonderful and we spent the evenings overlooking the Dorset countryside from the patio.

B Spittle 26/08/2016

We had a fab week in Wessex. It was very comfortable, plenty of space and well appointed. The location and views were wonderful.
We hope to come back again!

Katherine 13/08/2016

We have had many cottage holidays over the years and this property must rate as one of the best.
Very comfortable ,clean and well furnished with everything we needed.
We were only a family of four but the property can accommodate more and one plus point would be the two separate sitting/TV areas.
Highly recommended

Dr S King 23/07/2016

The house is situated in a wonderful surrounding and has plenty of space for ten people. The whole house is decorated and furnished with love and thought, and we didn't miss anything. One thing we appreciated a lot was the second drawing room in the front of the house, since in a group of ten people there is always somebody, who needs a quiet minute for reading or watching TV. Everything in the house was very proper and the owners welcomed us with a card and a hamper, which was a very nice gesture. In our opinion there is nothing of importance, which could be improved. Actually we all would really love to come back soon. We were very happy that we found Wessex in the internet for our family reunion and can highly recommend this place to anybody. We thank you and the owners very much for having us as your first guests at Wessex.
