Nothing

Clean, spacious, warm and so relaxing, hosts were lovely

Stayed in May 2024

My only tiny, tiny gripe is that only one side of the bed has a socket for charging a phone. An extension lead to service the other side would be amazing.

We were looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing from which we could do a long walk, preferably ending in a great pub, and The Tool Shed was the most perfect fit. It was really well connected by car and has loads of public footpaths to take you on gorgeous trips through the countryside. We chose a 7 mile walk to the Sixpenny Brewery in Cranborne and it was glorious! We found wild garlic behind the church in Wimborne St Giles and saw hares and kingfishers along the way. The house itself is in an absolutely idyllic setting with gorgeous views (and an adorable dog). Tracey was so accommodating and communicative in the run up, but left us to enjoy the stay once we'd arrived which was perfect. The property was cosy but surprisingly spacious with a large bedroom and living/dining area. Really comfortable bed, and a good shower. The breakfast items and general essentials provided were great, and the galley kitchen had everything we needed. On our way home we popped by the Cranborne Chase cider shack (5mins drive) to get some delicious Dorset cider to take home as well - highly recommended.

Great location, very quiet and convenient for local sightseeing. The 'Tool Shed' was cosy, well appointed with everything you would want for a comfortable stay. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfasts a bonus.

A couple of spiders/cobweb, but they too were charming and added to the rustic feeling.

Loved the log burner, the decor, rustic feeling overall, the quietness, and the views. Loved the special care shown the owners by having a bottle of Proseco in the fridge and fresh flowers.

Nothing was perfect.

A stop through to relax, it was very quite. Probably one of my favourite places I have stayed in some time. Bedroom was so comfortable and a nice bit of food and relaxing by a fire is what I needed. Perfect to switch off. I would hope to stay there again and do the walk out the back area.

The host was extremely accommodating letting us park up early before check in. The property was so cosy & the views for golden hour and a morning coffee were so peaceful. Definitely recommend for a picturesque escape! Thank you!

The only tiny negative is the tap in the kitchen is a little slow but that's really the only thing. Don't go expecting a full kitchen as there is it a microwave and a stove top but for us that was more than adequate.

Quite possibly one if the nicest places we have ever stayed in. The Tool Shed is absolutely beautiful, comfortable and has everything you need to make it a lovely stay. The location is stunning, so peaceful. Would definitely go back.

Could have a better signposted entrance maybe! As two friends travelling for an event it was a shame the property couldn’t offer single bed option but we managed. Other than that it was lovely, thank you.

Plenty of space to relax, decor was in keeping with the location and age of the building. Host was very helpful & ensured we had everything we could need and more, for our stay. Very friendly dog and beautiful peaceful location. Keeping this accommodation on my “ stay again” list. Thank you so much, just very sad that we couldn’t stay longer.

There was nothing I didn't like.

A spacious, comfortable rustic style lodge in a quiet, rural location. Lovely views. All facilities provided including continental breakfast. Friendly, helpful hosts.

Stayed in September 2023

Not a thing.

Out in a rural area so shop before you arrive as there are good cooking facilities and a BBQ. Lovely views all around.This is a house really. Large bedroom with wardrobe, chairs, lamps, lovely fabrics. Kitchen has a small fridge, single burner cooktop, micro/grill/oven all-in-one, coffee pod machine, tea making. Toaster. Croissants and jams for breakfast. All is as shown. Huge Lounge as shown, dining table. Just a lovely place to stay for a week if you can afford it. Hosts were very nice people and have done a terrific job outfitting this home-away-from-home. So many small considerations are much appreciated when you are on the road and too many places offer only the bare minimum. Thanks to you both David and Tracey.

A wonderful hidden gem. Such a beautiful and quiet location, really comfortable accommodation and absolutely spotless. Hosts were friendly and welcoming nothing was too much bother . A nice touch of a welcome note with places of interest, places to eat ,WiFi code and incase of any issues their details . 100% recommended. Definitely will be back.

Beautiful setting, very close to Larmer Tree Gardens where we were attending a festival. Breakfast was simple but exactly what we wanted and Flynn the dog was great (but not obtrusive!)
