Holly Cottage Poole. Quaint Thatch. Jurassic Coast

Holly Cottage. A beautiful thatched cottage in the village of Lychett Matravers, Dorset. Perfectly situated only a few minutes drive from the happening town of Poole and easy connections to Bournemouth. The cottage has been tastefully refurbished with a farmhouse kitchen and dining room.
The Jurassic Coast is on your doorstep with countless local amenities.
The space
The cottage has a large farmhouse kitchen with adjoining dining room with enough space to sit 8 comfortably. The lounge is substantial but with low cosy cottage ceiling.
The master bedroom has a king bed and en-suite. The family bathroom has a bathtub. And with the addition of the ground floor wet room & w/c there is more than enough space for multi-group stays.
Guest access
The cottage is set back from the main road so there is no traffic noise and is accessed by a lane with a electric gate.
These is enough space to park 4 cars.

The cottage is lovely. I was a little surprised/disappointed by the close proximity of other houses as the pictures make it look quite rural. A good sized cottage with a beautiful garden leading out onto a recreation ground which was ideal for the children and walking the dogs. The cottage was well equipped and spacious with modern amenities including a lovely coffee machine and range cooker. Unfortunately there were somethings that we felt could be improved on. The beds were uncomfortable. Broken locks on bathroom/toilet doors A fake log burner which was gas and not working as far as we could gather. But, the central heating was perfect!! As expected with a cottage the low doorways caused a few injuries. Aswell as an odd "step" down in the flooring by the back door caused a couple of falls. Some well placed warning signs for the forgetful types which be useful. Washing machine didn't work and some plug sockets didn't seem to work either. Could do with some TLC in places such as the stained toilet seat and bath and damaged edging on some skirting boards. It would have been nice to have some essentials on arrival but by no means a negative but would make the difference to the start of a stay. The guest book suggested some visitors were welcomed with prosecco, biscuits and such like but not all. Overall a lovely place to stay with access to shops and local pubs. Hosts were easy to contact and responded very quickly when contacted. I would recommend though😊
