lovely long weekend .

Spotlessly clean . Perfect for our needs. Hosts were super friendly. Location was great near places of interest. If we had to find fault which was not easy maybe bed linen was a bit old fashioned but certainly did not impact our stay. Would definitely recommend without hesitation.

Comfortable and well equipped in good central location near Wareham

Comfortable and well equipped house, hosts who live adjacent to the property, were very friendly, kind and helpful. Good location for exploring the Purbeck/Durdle door area. Near a busy road but pleasant views of Purbeck hills and trees.

Lovely Location

We had a wonderful stay in this cottage. Lovely owners met us to show us around and were on hand if required. The place had everything we could need and was very cosy. On a lovely location along with the owners property, very close to all the amenities you could need, yet quiet and private with good relaxing views. We enjoyed Weymouth, Swanage, Studland etc with plenty more to visit and good towns and pubs local too. Definitely will return.

Wonderful Visit!

This home was cute, cozy, and spotless! We really enjoyed our stay here and the owners were very kind and helpful, especially since this was our first time to the area and we were unfamiliar with where to visit. The house had a very nice walk in shower and all the amenities we needed. Our kids loved the fenced in yard and toys and spent a lot of time playing outside as well :)

A brilliant place to stay

This is a fantastic property at a great location. Homely and comfortable with everything you need for a visit. The owner are a lovely couple who make you feel at home and then leave you to it. They are there if you need them. The bonus was watching the nighttime feeding of the vixen and her 2 cubs. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you John and Kim .

Very nice

A very pleasant home from home experience with engaging and helpful hosts. A relaxing stay with our two granddaughters who thoroughly enjoyed their rooms and the garden with plenty of space to play. Convenient for the short trip to Wareham and the beach at Swanage. Overall we felt it was very good value and we have no hesitation in recommending this clean and comfortable home for a short, relaxing vacation. Clive and Barbara Taylor

Central location & well maintained property.

Very clean throughout. All rooms fresh looking and well decorated. Owner thoughtfully left milk, biscuits, tea and coffee. Owners friendly but unobtrusive - live very close to property. But no drier or clothes line at property itself - maybe could have shared owner's line? Good location to explore a delightful part of the country. Wareham pubs excellent for food and beer. Recommend Horse & Groom and Kings Arms. Property a bit on the expensive side?

Perfect cottage holiday

The host, John and Kim are absolutely fantastic! The cottage is lovely, clean, and just feels like you are home! John and Kim makes sure you have everything you need and more. With beautiful scenic views and a lovely patio you may just want to stay in. The location is spot on for a visit to the many offerings of the Jurassic Coast. Durdle door, Lulworth cove, Tyneham village, and Kimmeridge Bay are just a few of the sites located nearby that we visited. The cottage has a full kitchen which made it very easy to cook either breakfast or dinner however there are many options for food around the village. If we are ever back in the area we would definitely book the cottage with John and Kim!

Home to Home

Clean, tidy & spacious property that is very well maintained/equipped both internally & externally. Accommodation is on a large private property with massive, well maintained field; ideal for run around &/OR ball games. Property is very central to the places we wanted to visit (Durdle door, Lulworth Cove, Swanage, Corfe castle etc), all being less than 20 minutes away & it's far enough from the concentrations of holiday makers, so you can enjoy the peace & tranquility of the rural surroundings. Town center is less than 5 minutes drive. Owners were very friendly & welcoming. We had fantastic few days & wouldn't hesitate to go back. Veera

Fantastic relaxing holiday.

We loved this holiday house, very homely & spotlessly clean. Plenty of indoor & outdoor room for the older teens. Great location & base & many places to visit within a short distance. Above all we are suitably relaxed from our holiday. I would recommend here without reservation. Biscuits & tea/ milk a very welcome gesture from the owners.

A perfect cottage stay

My family and I rented the cottage and it was an amazing 4 days. The cottage has everything you would need. The bedrooms are lovely and very comfortable, it was all very clean and wonderfully decorated. The outside area is very spacious. The hosts are lovely and made us feel very welcome and at home.

Lovely stay at Keepers Cottage

My wife and I had a wonderful 4 night stay at the cottage. We would have loved to have stayed longer. The cottage had plenty of room and was equipped with everything we needed. We only met Kim who was very friendly and helpful. We would like to stay again in the future, and bring some of the family,
