we loved everything about the house, even though the weather wasn't great, we still had a brilliant time. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of space for 6 people. The lovely garden attracted lots of wildlife. The coastal path is nearby so we enjoyed some walks right from the front door. Beautiful areas like Lulworth cove are within easy reach by car. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
If you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday you could hardly do better! The house is situated on a small private road in lovely surroundings. It was very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The beautiful mature, country garden was a delight. So many different species of birds to be seen and every evening the badger arriving for his peanuts! If you are taking your dogs it is perfect as there are so many different walks straight from the front gate with no need to get the car out. However although there are two parking spaces we found parking a little tight with our size car. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
We enjoyed an absolutely fabulous week at the Gannets.On arrival the house was spotlessly clean, and the owners could not have been more helpful. The location is excellent for long walks with our two dogs and the large garden was a bonus. The wildlife was fantastic with numerous wild birds and badgers at night. We highly recommend this property and have already booked a week's stay in 2021. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
Lovely location. Beautiful gardens and views. Charming and very homely. Wildlife was stunning. Bit tricky to park an estate vehicle. Had everything you could possibly need. Very clean inside. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
This has to be one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. Very well equipped and comfortable but the best thing about it was the wildlife. We had regular sightings of robins, chaffinches, blue tits and woodpeckers and also squirrels but the best was the badgers. We had one come to feed in the garden every night and two on the last night. We will definitely be back Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
A fantastic staycation. The Gannets is in the perfect location, so near to the Coastal Path and very easy to find. The property has a fantastic pretty garden which we used lots. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
Lovely house in a peaceful location. The house is very comfortable and has everything you could need. Spotlessly clean. Well located for walks and trips to local beaches including Ringstead and Lulworth. Beautiful garden teeming with bird life. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
This is a delightful cottage in some beautiful countryside; clean, spacious and well equipped. There is plenty of space for 6. The owners (Chris and Clive) were very accommodating and welcoming particularly offering us flexibility around arrival and departure times. Being Christmas the cottage had been fully decorated; not just a token tree, as we have had with past premium Xmas bookings, but throughout. This level of care and welcome was obvious throughout the cottage and meant that this has been one of our nicest holiday breaks. The cottage was warm, with full central heating and plenty of hot water. Kitchen was a delight and very well equipped and coped easily with the extra catering needed for Christmas. The separate lounge and dinning room also added to the feeling of space and both were very comfortable. The dinning room, which overlooks the garden, is a good size and very light and airy, even in the middle of December. The pictures on the website are exactly as we found the cottage, not staged (as a ‘show home’) as some properties are. The local pub (Smuggler’s Inn) served good food, was very comfortable and easily walkable. They were a bit stretched when we visited and seemed to have been overtaken by the lunchtime demand, but our food was delicious and delivered hot without any undue delay. The cottage location, for us, was at the extreme end of a reasonable days journey, particularly in the winter, but it was definitely worth the effort. The cottage was easy to find with the directions and, wonder upon wonder, the post code on satnav was to the door! Chris and Clive - thank you for helping us to have a very relaxing Xmas.
