Debbie the hostess was pure delight. Her hospitality is second to none. The room (suite) was clean, fresh milk in the little fridge for tea and coffee, and the little touches like bubble bath were greatly appreciated. Even if you don't stay, you have to go for the most amazing scones you will ever eat. Breakfast was beautifully presented and cooked. We plan to return.

    We had such a wonderful time at Bittles Cottage, everything was so homely and cosy, ideal for an Autumn stay. The village is very pretty and feels very rural however it is well connected and well placed for exploring countryside and coast. The cottage itself is like stepping back in time which was exactly what we hoped for however there is everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The beds were so comfy too! The cottage is well equipped with everything you might need and the communication with the host was excellent.

    Lovely location in pretty Dorset village about 8 miles north of Dorchester. I used as a base for visiting the tank museum at Bovington - about a 35 min journey away. The accommation is across the car park from the pub which is fine and the double en-suite room was well appointed and comfy. Staff and food at the pub were excellent and it felt really friendly for someone travelling alone. Hope to return with a friend to show her the area.

    Room was nice and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. We had the bonus of a side-room for our son although we didn't need to use it. It's an attractive property in a nice village. Staff were really helpful especially with some navigation needed next day while contending with some closed roads in the area. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would have like to stay another night.
