Room, bathroom and house were clean. Excellent breakfast with friendly host. Very helpful in finding a good restaurant nearby.

Attic room. This meant the ceiling sloped and you have to be careful not to bang your head. Impossible to sit up in bed for the same reason. Small shower, tiny hand basin. Has the feel of a converted attic. ||Easy to park. …

We booked here as looked nice. They messaged directions which was helpful. Keith was friendly and welcoming. You are asked to remove shoes which isn't a problem. We were on top floor, had booked room with a balcony which is a Velux window which folds out to window come balcony so disappointed. Floor was lino so not comfortable under foot. Bed not comfortable. Bathroom pipes on show. Shower so high I could nearly see over top and water wasn't far from light. Shower could do with a good clean and shower pipe really dirty. Whole room not up to standard with cleaning. Views are lovely. Breakfast was shocked as was family table and had to share with another guest, which I found uncomfortable due to anxiety and social shyness. There was tablets and other stuff on worktops. Bathroom sink very small.If go for a walk take torch as very dark roads and cars come down quick.I found this place lovely for location. Host is friendly just disappointed with room and facilities.Very personal opinion.Located down lane and on outskirts of Yeovil.Is 45 minutes from Weymouth and 30 minutes from Cerne Giant.

The host Keith, was very nice and welcoming. Our room was en suite and on the top floor. We could open the window fully and push out the bottom part, like a mini balcony, really good! The shower was nice. …
