REVIEWS
This property is in a peaceful area, yet ideally located close to Wareham and also for exploring the surrounding area. The house was very clean and beautifully spacious with tasteful decor throughout. The kitchen was especially well-equipped. The gardens were amazing! We felt so happy and at home here.

Farmhouse was very cosy with a large lounge spacious enough for all to sit in. Large enclosed garden was also great for the dog. Heating was not working on arrival but Corfe & Purbeck Holidays were very responsive and arranged a plumber for the next morning on Christmas eve who resolved the problem.
Only negative feedback would be there is only one small electric shower for the entire house which sleeps up to 6 adults and 2 children. Would stay again.

We had a great stay at the Old Stables which was a very spacious and comfortable property with lovely private gardens in a beautiful location. Beautiful beaches within easy reach along with numerous interesting places to visit. The steps to both entrance doors were quite high which my wife found quite challenging as she is awaiting a knee replacement and this could be an issue for anyone with impaired mobility. This however did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay in any way. Great communication from Danielle and Tracy which was appreciated, we would definitely recommend booking with this company and this property.
