Lovely stay

We stayed here as a group in July 2021. The house is lovely and well located for getting out and about to surrounding areas like Lulworth Cove. Our host Morag was lovely and very helpful both in advance and during our stay and we loved being in such a beautiful setting next to Came House. One point to note is that a couple of guests in our group did find the bedrooms very light so worth bringing eye masks or travel blinds if you are a light sleeper.
