Reviews

This cosy, compact, delightful bolthole for two is set in a wonderfully tranquil hamlet in north Dorset with village shops and a choice of two pubs within two miles.

Built in local stone, Owl's Nest Cottage was once the home of a breeding pair of Barn Owls. The cottage is all on one level; the well-equipped kitchen has a sitting-area with a wood-burner for snug evenings in and the dining-area in the conservatory allows for meals with a view. There is a comfy king-size bed and the en suite has a fully tiled shower cubicle, with drench head shower.

Owl's Nest Cottage is on the edge of the Blackmore Vale and provides all you need for a very comfortable stay. The conservatory/dining-room is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee whilst planning your adventure for the day. The outside space has parking and a patio with furniture and there is a store with a freezer for guests' use; miles of paths and tracks are accessible from your doorstep.

The unobtrusive owners live on site and are happy to help in any way.

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.

Mrs Cooper

Owls Nest Cottage was in a perfect location, it was so beautifully quiet and unspoiled by light pollution, a perfect spot to view the last Beaver Moon. We received a warm welcome from the owners, who were found to be very knowledgeable of the area, giving advice as where to visit in the limited time we had available. The cottage was beautifully furnished, warm and comfortable, we will definitely return!

A charming, small cottage, very clean and has a fully equipped kitchen with everything provided for home comforts, including a dishwasher. The bedding is sumptuous. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The conservatory is a very useful space for dining and contains a sofa for relaxing.

Wat een heerlijk knus huisje dat van alle gemakken voorzien was! Je voelt je helemaal zen... zeker om in de serre te zitten met uitzicht op een prachtige tuin. Hele aardige en zeer gastvrije eigenaars! Gelegen in een rustige, prachtige en landelijke omgeving! What a wonderfully cozy house that was fully equipped! You feel completely zen... Definitely to sit in the conservatory overlooking a beautiful garden. Very nice and very hospitable owners! Located in a quiet, beautiful and rural area!

What can I say? A charming cottage set in a beautiful garden with lovely wildlife to watch from the conservatory especially whilst watching the sun go down with a glass of wine. The surrounding countryside was spectacular and was a pleasure to drive through. Belinda and Alan were very welcoming and we especially like the goodies they left us. The cottage was very well equipped and we were sorry when it was time to leave. We had a lovely relaxing time.

The hosts were friendly and helpful. The furnishings and decor was tasteful and simple which was appreciated. As we enjoy cooking we were pleased that the kitchen was sufficiently equipped.
