A lovely stable conversion in immaculate condition with a very pleasant owner Paul who makes every effort to make your stay enjoyable. All on one level if you dislike stairs and very comfortable beds and armchairs etc. Plenty of safe free parking and the property is inside the owners gated compound so we were happy about leaving valuables behind. The phone signal is weak here and in most of Dorset but free fast wi-fi is provided. The location is ideal if you are interested in: Dorchester, Wareham, Weymouth, Swanage, Lulworth Cove, Durdle door, T. E. Lawrence, Whistler's etched glass, Athelhampton House, The Tank museum, ... and the owner knows which pubs to eat at, quiet beaches, ... We were very happy here and I feel it would be ideal accomodation at any time except the pit of winter.

Excellent cottage with everything on hand and carefully managed - thanks to Paul for being so helpful a host. The location near the coast at Lulworth and handy for Dorchester , Weymouth and Wareham/Swanage suited us and was handy. Visit Hardys birthplace and TE Lawrence chapel at Morton and Clouds Hill. Countryman Inn close by.

Sunny tranquility

We loved the welcome , friendly and helpful conversation with Paul. Our exploration in sunny weather was rewarding , and the delightful garden was a leafy, tranquil retreat. Best visit ; the Walled Garden. Worst moment; discovering it cost 14 to park the car at Lulworth Cove after the first hour! … And I loved my early morning runs exploring the paths of the Heath.

We had a lovely time on our stay in this cosy and beautifully clean property all was as described, and the milk, tea and cookies were a lovely touch. The booking in process was really easy and Paul was a good host. The garden is nicely kept and a paradise if you like birdwatching and the beautiful local surrounding area makes this a wonderful place to stay. We would definately recommend

our second visit

We stayed for a week last year and decided that two weeks would provide an opportunity to really explore the surrounding countryside and nearby coast. We returned to this property as it is ideal for this in addition to having itself a lovely garden and environment. The host lives nearby and is extremely helpful and approachable. I cannot recommend too highly this property if you are looking for a nice retreat away from the city. The property has everything you would need. Wool is just down the road and has a large Spa convenience shop and there are numerous pubs/restaurants around. The host will update you as to the " better ones " .

Lovely location, amazing grounds

Although compact, very clean & comfortable. Everything you could possibly need for a wonderful relaxing stay. Beautiful gardens, lots of wildlife to keep us amused. Hedgehogs, squirrels & a wide variety of birds visit the garden at the Stables. Paul , the host made us very welcome , he is a perfect host , very discreet , but available if you need anything . He invited us to look around his private garden , we were really impressed , it is stunning , well cared for , also it's a magnet for a wide variety of wildlife . The Stables is well located for visiting nearby popular attractions , Monkey world , the tank museum , the breathtaking Jurrasic coast & Weymouth are a very short drive away. Lovely walks around the property too. Thank you to Rob & Jones the cat for allowing us to wander around your private space . We would be happy to visit again.
