Very comfortable peaceful place to stay. Lovely surroundings and convenient for getting out and about.
Very well equipped, quiet, comfortable, great views. Good pub nearby, village shop. The owners were very responsive , not that we had any problems.
If you're looking for peace and quiet in comfortable surroundings you would have to look for a very long time before finding somewhere better than this. You can see the look of the cottage and the contents elsewhere but what you can't tell is how peaceful it is - the occasional sheep or bird virtually the only noises you hear. We sat with the patio door open just looking at the view down the field to the lake many evenings and then watched the moon rise over the opposite hillside. And there aren't any farm smells! Be prepared for the narrow Dorset lanes and I'd advise booking pubs in advance if you prefer to eat out (The Acorn at Evershot highly recommended) but that's not really to do with the "retreat".
Lovely location and well appointed cottage. Fantastic views from garden and master bedroom, modern and smart furnishings. Fire pit (and all you needed to get going) was a nice touch.
Comfortable, wonderful views, clean, private, already booked for next year.
Goose Run Cottage is a beautiful barn in the middle of nowhere. Old on the outside and thoroughly modern on the inside, with huge windows that overlook the estate and lake - it's a wonderful view to wake up to. Everything was really comfortable (great bed!) and clean, and the welcome basket was realy well stocked. Jonathan was a great host and even showed us the Roman well, which he found in a nearby copse. Kids (and adults!) will enjoy the swings and tree house a short walk across the fields. The cottage is within easy reach of the coast and all the local tourist attractions. We really had a very relaxing stay here and will be back. Thank you Jonathan!
Fabulous cottage in fabulous location.
The quality of the cottage was excellent, the location perfect and the owners were very friendly and helpful.
Fantastic Cottage and surroundings, fantastic hosts, our best ever cottage holiday!
Best rural cottage we have stayed in very clean and great location
Fabulous cottage, really well furnished & equipped, hosts were very welcoming & friendly. The cottage is in a very beautiful setting on a small private estate surrounded by fields of sheep & lambs. One of the best cottages we have been to .
The cottage is beautifully located in a quiet valley. The standards of equipment and furnishings are exceptional - far in excess of what might be expected in a holiday cottage. This cottage and its welcoming hosts is a real gem and one of those to which you genuinely intend to return. A bonus is the clarity of the night sky should you be lucky enough to witness it.
What a wonderful review for our stunning new property Goose Run Cottage. Thank you so much.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
