Peaceful Cottage

Monk’s Cottage is a sweet little cottage with history. We had the good fortune of warm sunny weather and were able to enjoy eating out in the back and front courtyards; catching the sun and fresh breezes. We enjoyed waking up to the sound of small birds in the nearby orchard and gardens.

Cranborne Chase

The cottage was fine and the check in easy. Sadly there were no logs for the fire as promised and it was suggested we go and get some. When we started with the kindling we had brought with us, smoke poured out of the front of the wood burner. The house was filled with smoke for sometime despite having all the windows and doors open. It would have been nice to have soap in the bathroom for hand washing and some games or information about the area as we were keen to walk. My partner found it very cold and was disappointed about the wood burner not working. We only stayed one of the two nights booked as a result.

Gorgeous cottage but very dirty in places

Cottage was lovely but very dirty and in need of tlc, no hoover available just brushes and mops so impossible to clean properly in places like the bedroom there was a build up of dead insects in the window blinds and window sills; broken tiles in the kitchen all pretty minor stuff all easily sorted with a decent clean. tv remote didnt work properly and dvd doesnt have one so very limited control playback only again minor stuff again both very old ordinarilywould have been an issue except it was xmas about the only time we watch it ...Internet very sketchy as it piggybacks the nextdoor... the only real issue was the toilet had a nasty smell which seemed to come from an vent pipe in the corner of the hallway/loo so we kept window open
