Another visit to this beautiful cottage, nestled in delightful gardens. Although the weather was patchy we were able to spend a lot of time sitting outside, surrounded by a wealth of plant life and birds. The cottage has been redecorated and is a very comfortable space to spend quality time with friends and/or family.
Experience was slightly disappointed by the kitchen size being a little too small for catering for up to 8 people which we found to be quite challenging. The kitchen dining table space would be more practical instead for a work top height breakfast bar/island with pedestals. Unfortunately issues with the WiFi meant having to accommodate a visit from a engineer on the first day of staying there, how ever the house keeper did offer to await the engineer visit if plans for the day were to be disrupted. So this was just an unfortunate inconvenience. Finally, the smart speaker provided in the dining room - would have been nice if it actually worked. Other than these minor negatives. Overall it was quite a pleasant and relaxing stay in quite a lovely location
Perfect location for a very peaceful stay. Lovely cottage. Everything you need.
Beautiful location, equipped kitchen and ample space for a group of 5.
We had a really lovely week at Magna Cottage. The cottage itself was comfortable, with everything we needed. The directions provided were clear and we found the cottage without any issue. The large enclosed garden was amazing and we could have done a different walk every day, without having to get into the car. Definitely recommended and we plan to come back!
Another amazing stay at this cottage. Everything you need to have downtime in a peaceful setting. Breakfast in the garden, walks in the afternoon and meals together in the lovely dining room. The house lacks for nothing, is comfortable and clean. The housekeeper is really helpful, highly recommended cottage for time away with family or friends.
all good - would need a recycling system though.
Exactly as it is described and photographed
What a fabulously lovely cottage, well appointed and with beautiful garden. We had the most lovely few days exploring the Dorset countryside from this brilliantly situated location. Highly recommend.
Can't fault the location. Absolutely beautiful .The garden is stunning. We went on one of the hottest weeks, so the trees in the garden made a perfect shade. Would have been nice if they provided more recliner chairs for the garden as the 2 there were not enough. The outside of the cottage is very picturesque. Kitchen was perfect with plenty of utensils and lovely crockery. The welcome bag was very nice. Parts of the cottage were looking tired, in need of some fresh paint. The living room carpet had a number of stains on it and also one of the sofa's could do with a clean. I would not recommend this cottage for elderly relatives as the floors upstairs are not level in areas and the staircases are not ideal. Other than that we had a lovely break.
A beautiful setting and a characterful cottage.we had a lovely stay. We felt the cottage was a little dated though and small things like leaf blowing the path, outside area etc would have been a nice thing to do before our arrival.
Lovely cottage with even nicer, large well looked after garden which is great for dogs and children. Ideal for an away from it all break. Be warned, it's slightly difficult to find at the end of a no thru road as the name is not visible until you have to turn around! All our visitors got it wrong in different ways! The layout is quirky especially upstairs and the stairs are not toddler/elderly friendly. Would return.
Beautiful cottage set in a fantastic rural location. Thatched roof, ingle nook fireplace, window seat and amazing gardens. Be prepared to duck if you are tall!!
Absolutely beautiful cottage & very comfortable. We stayed here as a base for my daughters wedding at nearby Larmer tree Gardens and it really was perfect. I needed to contact the housekeeper Harriet on my return about a missing article and she couldn’t have been more helpful. Wonderful place to stay!
We had a great time, location, cottage cuteness and accessible walks. The one thing that is changeable and I would have appreciated it, is pans that cater for 8 people. The pans available were way too small. Having to use 2 pans to cook pasta for 8 people.
I am so pleased that you had a great time at Magna Cottage . I have arranged for more suitable pans to be delivered to the property and I am sorry that you had to make do during your stay.
Just absolutely perfect. The booking process with RR is easy and efficient. Harriet the housekeeper is lovely and helpful. The cottage is clean, neat and tidy and equipped with everything you need for a perfect family break. This is our 2nd visit. It is warm and cosy in the winter and just stunning in the summer. Cannot recommend this more.
It’s a pretty, warm, well equipped cottage. Great walks immediately out of the front door , in an exceptionally beautiful area. Could do with new pillows and bedside lights and a wardrobe in the master bedroom. But we had a lovely time and will return.
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.
