Family and friends weekend
We have had an amazing weekend at this beautiful property which is spacious, comfortable, quirky and full of home comforts. Everything you need is here and Wareham was a delight…we had fun in Wareham pottery painting at Pottery Corner and an amazing meal at The Italian Kitchen. Thank you so much.

Lovely characterful house
This was a really lovely place to stay. We were a group of 8 friends, 5 of whom met at university and were celebrating 40 years of knowing on another. The property is characterful and quirky, and it felt very much like staying in someone's home. Had the weather been bad we would have found plenty to do in the house as there was a games room and a piano in the living room. Two of us played the piano quite a bit over the weekend and several played both pool and table tennis. The kitchen warmed by an aga was a cosy gathering place and probably the most well-equipped kitchen that I have ever encountered in a holiday home!

Amazing house and holiday
What an amazing property. The pics don't do it justice, this is such a lovely place; both the house as well as Wareham and surrounding area. David was a brilliant host, providing ample info about the house and surrounding area and showing flexibility towards our arrival and departure times. I cant recommend enough. We were two families with 5 children aged 6-11. The games room is brilliant, and the drawing room is a lovely place to chill (there is no need for a TV!). We loved sitting in the garden after a day out which is very well kept. All in all a great holiday and fantastic house (sure you can tell we're slightly envious of this place)

Lovely Wareham
A lovely large family house ideally located in the heart of Wareham. This quirky traditional house is great for a large group. We were visiting as 3 families and there was plenty of room for us all. The games room was a particular highlight, as was the proximity to the quay, shops, cafes and local wall walk. The bedroom layout may need to be considered dependent on your group and if you are after modern interiors, matching bed linen and fluffy hotel towels this might not be for you. However, if you want to feel like you are getting a glimpse into another families home with it's eclectic and interesting interior you will no doubt enjoy. The property was clean and comfortable, lovely garden and seating area. Great communication from David. There is parking for 1 car, but plenty of free parking a short walk up the road. Overall a lovely couple of days away. Thank you.

Great place for a friends and family special weekend.
We had a great time. The property is like a story book family large house with lots of interesting spaces. Very homely and very well equipped with everything. If you enjoy cooking there is every available kitchen utensil and having 2 kitchens was very useful. We spent a lot of time round the large kitchen table because it’s just made for eating, drinking and being together. The garden is lovely and we had beautiful weather. . It’s an ideal house for being together with friends and family although probably not suitable for less mobile older ones. Its position, very near the high street but still very quiet, is a plus.

Lovely family feel home in great location with lots of things to do inside when the half term weather is rubbish! Enjoyed the games room, the log burner and all the space. Great to open the front door and be in the town, yet quiet and peaceful location. Well stocked and cosy home. Very enjoyable 4 day stay in a beautiful part of the world.
