Clare Cottage has been the perfect base for my week in Dorset. Coming all the way from Costa Rica, I couldn't have hoped for a warmer or more welcoming home. The best breakfast ever ❤️

A beautiful cottage built in the 1600s. Run and owned by the wonderful Susie. I was made welcome from the start. I stayed for 2 nights in the back bedroom overlooking the lovely garden. Lovely breakfasts and I will definitely stay again when I visit the area again!!

A beautiful home in a great location. Close to town and the train station. Beautifully decorated and a super comfy bed. There was a shared bathroom, which was immaculate with the choice of bath, drench or regular shower. Shower was very powerful with plenty of hot water. Sue was really warm, friendly and welcoming and cooked a mean breakfast!
