Philip

It was a pleasure to stay at such a beautiful location. We couldnt fault the cottage and loved the welcome basket of goodies. Everything was really high quality which made our stay even more enjoyable. Its location was perfect with lovely walks and a fantastic pub on our doorstep.

Graham

We had a great stay! The garden is beautiful and the thatched cottage feels like stepping back in time, but it has all the modern comforts you need. Inside the house was spotless and well cared for. The bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen well appointed, and there is lots of space to spread out and relax we're a family of 4 but comfortably sleeps 8. The study is a great for working or for kids to play. Ours loved having movie night on the projector and roaming around in the garden! Plush is very peaceful, with brilliant pub on the doorstep and scenic walks straight from the door we managed to the top of the hill and loved the panoramic views, as well as well as trips to Lulworth Cove and Corfe Castle. Great to have an EV charger too. Recommend.
