- Rachael30 Oct 2024Great stay at this lovely cottage! Tessa was a brilliant host and made us feel so welcome. Our boys particularly loved feeding the chickens every morning, a real highlight of the holiday! Hive beach in Burton Bradstock was our favourite and we tried out several of Tessa’s restaurant recommendations which were all excellent. All in all a great place for young families.read moreread less

- Chloe23 Oct 2024What a wonderful stay at Tessa’s farmhouse – we couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more. A cozy, peaceful place with total charm! From the beginning, Tessa provided comprehensive instructions on how to reach the farm, which was easily followed and helpful for finding the location. The house itself is beautiful – we felt so relaxed and it was really a home from home. Everything we could have needed was provided, especially in the kitchen. We spent a wonderful 5 days exploring our favourite spots on the Jurassic Coast, with the house being within easy reach of West Bay, Seatown, Sidmouth, and (my favourite) the Donkey Sanctuary! Tessa was an attentive host and was so kind and generous. She really makes an effort to make things feel homely and extra special. We had some lovely chats.
We really couldn’t fault the experience at all. Don’t hesitate to make a booking!
Thank you Tessa for your hospitality ❤️read moreread less - Charles12 Oct 2024A privilege to stay in a thatched cottage in a peaceful location surrounded by nature.
