We stayed as a family of 5 at the old stables for 7 nights.
When we arrived, we were impressed with how clean the property was and the facilities. My children loved the games room and that was a real bonus on the rainy days we had. The property was well kitted out with all the equipment you could need. Plenty of crockery, glasses and cooking utensils. I was especially impressed there was hand wash in every bathroom and the kitchen. There was rinse aid, dishwasher tablets and washing powder and softener for the duration of our stay. It was a lovely touch to have some biscuits and milk left for us after a long journey. We also arrived to fully stocked teabags and sugar. The location of the old stables is perfect and close to all amenities. The crown pub down the road is excellent. If I would recommend anything is improved, I would say the mattresses. They are so hard and donât offer much support to your back and hips and even my children thought they were hard. Whilst I recognise the importance of durability, I think this is the only minor negative of the accommodation. We will definitely be back and I wouldnât let the hard mattress put me off.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay for two nights at The Old Stables.
The accommodation was just perfect for what we needed and it provided easy access to some great countryside sights and the coast. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided - I've never seen so many cups, glasses etc ... and loved the biscuits :) The only downside was when we first arrived, I walked along the corridor to the end bedroom and hadn't switched the light on. I didn't notice the step, went flying and hit the floor on my knees. I didn't notice anything about the step on the accommodation details (of course I may have missed it), so it would be worth making it a bit clearer if possible as if my elderly mother-in-law had walked down there first, the situation could have been a lot worse. It didn't spoil our break at all - just tender knees for a few days ;) - and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you very much and wishing you all a wonderful Christmas in the meantime. Sue

WOW! What a fabulous find and base for our little break away exploring Dorset.
John & Jan are fantastic hosts and have created such a lovely little barn conversion, finished to a high spec and in immaculate condition. Off road parking and a lovely little table and chairs to use in the side garden - perfect for listening to the birds after a long day exploring Everything you need within the cottage for a perfect stay, high end Neff Appliances in the kitchen, so fully able to make a home cooked meal if you wanted. The shower in the wet room was excellent quality powerful (which you don't always get everywhere!) Very good value for money compared to a lot of others properties on the Sykes Website. Lovely Little Pub (The Cricketers) with nice food within a 5 minute walk from the cottage and a shop not far away. Dairy to get milk from 7am-7pm close by We slept very well at The Malthouse and will be booking a return stay for 2024 - its a 10/10 from us

What a stunning cottage in a beautiful setting.
The cottage was a little tricky to find (due to road diversions) but once we reached it, we found a stunning place, a hidden gem almost. We booked for our son's 18th Birthday as he is based in Blandford nearby and although it was a gruelling 5.5 hour journey from Nottinghamshire for us, the cottage made it all worth while. There were 5 of us and two dogs. The local area has some gorgeous dog walks and there is a lovely pub 10 minutes away called the Greyhound (highly recommend - stunning food). The cottage was part of two or three more cottages all surrounding a small courtyard. There was a fab games room there too for all to use. The ONLY negative about our whole stay was the time we had to vacate the property (10am). Is was far too early and put a little dampener on the morning of our son's birthday. 11am or mid-day would have been so much better to get organised.

A delightful holiday cottage in a beautiful, friendly village which is almost traffic free!
The owners of the cottage, who live in the house next door, are very thoughtful and considerate. They welcomed us on arrival and provided a generous hamper - unexpected and much appreciated. They also have a very sweet well behaved old golden retriever, who passed by on occasion to say hello. The cottage was perfectly clean. If you are a walker, there are some fabulous walks in the area - which can take in some lovely villages and pubs/restaurants. There is a farm vending shop about a mile away (when we were there the female cows and their young were in a barn alongside the shop, which was lovely). The farm sells beautiful milk and lots of other basics (including ice-cream!). One of the things that really struck me about the area was how friendly and genuinely thoughtful people are. It is a beautiful cottage to stay in for so many reasons.
