The West Country / Dorset region

“A holiday property as comfortable,warm and relaxing as being at home.” We visited Orchard Cottage twice in 2011 which must say something in itself as I never normally go back to the same place. When we arrived my boyfriend's first words was 'this place feels like we are at home' - a very good sign!. Indeed the cottage has been furnished in a lovely warm and homely way with all modern appliances you would expect to have. Furthermore it doesn't smell like a holiday home - some places I have stayed in have that musty type of smell but I am pleased and relieved to say Orchard Cottage doesn't. The hosts John and Elaine one again left milk and local biscuits upon our arrival which was such as delightful and welcoming touch. Orchard Cottage is very spacious with a huge bedroom at one end and another bedroom at the other. Both have their own staircases down to the ground floor with the bathroom in the middle and this layout really works as it provides privacy. Both bedrooms have lovelylviews of the lush greenery and village and our bed was extremely comfortable - another important factor especially for my partner. Our neighbours were the 3 goats who were not very impressed with us unless we gave them apples whilst the host's free range guinea pig Sonny provided us and our dog Lily with lots of entertainment. Both John and Elaine were friendly and when we used to encounter them they seemed to remember things about us from our last stay which made us feel valued and special and not just anothe holiday maker or booking. I am seriously considering returning again this year not only because the property is lovely and its weekly rates so affordable but because Dorset is such a wonderful county and there is so much to see and do locally.
