Absolutely beautiful cottage with the most picturesque gardens, perfect for our dogs. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful and cosy cottage in a magical location. Great walks from the gate, lots of wildlife around about. Excellent facilities and welcome pack. Big garden. Suited us perfectly.

My 3rd visit just ended and already planning my next one. Fantastic cottage in a fantastic setting. A real gem.

Stayed for my daughters wedding at The Larmer Tree, perfect location. Beds really comfortable, amazing welcome hamper. Plenty of space for everyone. Lovely grounds and garden. Lots of places to go for a walk. Only very small detail, could do with a new coffee cafetière. But yes we would stay again.

Absolutely beautiful property, with fantastic woodland walks at the end of the garden.

This is an idyllic cottage set in rural Dorset. We had a very comfortable and cosy stay. Lots of excellent pubs and restaurants around (particularly The Fontmell (10 minutes) and the Fleur de Lys (20 mins). Beautiful countryside and walks on the doorstep with views that just kept on giving.

The cottage was lovely and very well equipped and the housekeeper very helpful the only reason I did not rate four star was that unfortunately the dishwasher had broken which was quite a nuisance with the house full otherwise it was perfect and very clean

Lovely location. Very pretty well appointed house . Couple of very minor points . As no phone signal it seems rather petty not to allow use of land line phone . To many little notices around the house telling you what you shoud not do .

We were locked out of Wifi despite using all info given. The kitchen was also a bit small for the size of property. The rest of the cottage is however delightful and a fabulous garden for both the kids and the dog.

Magna cottage was perfect, really cosy and beautifully furnished with everything we needed. A lovely place to relax and listen to silence and see darkness again! Please thank the owner for us. P.S. thank you also for a very generous welcome basket.

The cottage was absolutely lovely, it was exactly as described/shown on the web-site (perhaps better). The house was well-equipped and extremely well-maintained. The owner was very helpful with info, and check-in and (late) check-out were completely painless. Thoroughly recommended - we would happily return.

We all loved the cottage and the dogs loved the garden. It was comfortable and the welcome hamper much appreciated. We would like to return sometime. Thank you Rural Retreats.

Cottage was cosy and the log fire was great for a cold February weekend. Would thoroughly recommend. Harriet the housekeeper was vey helpful. Forth bedroom could do with a door for privacy.
