Guests say
Guests consistently praise Greygles for its peaceful setting, stunning views, and cosy atmosphere. The cottage's cleanliness, well-stocked facilities, and thoughtful touches contribute to a relaxing stay. Its location is ideal for both local walks and exploring Dorset's attractions. The garden and playhouse are highlights for families, while the proximity to The Fox pub adds to the convenience and enjoyment.
Reviewers frequently mention the cottage being very clean and tidy upon arrival, indicating high standards of cleanliness that contribute to the overall positive experience.
The cottage is lauded for its peaceful village setting with easy access to local amenities and attractions. Its central location for day trips and walks is appreciated, although one mention of narrow roads suggests minor accessibility concerns.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the cottage homely and well-suited for various group sizes, including families with children and seniors. The provision of baby/child facilities and a downstairs bedroom for those with limited mobility is well-received.
Facilities are described as well-stocked, with ample kitchen appliances, utensils, and garden supplies. The presence of a playhouse and toys for children, as well as a well-equipped living space, contribute to the positive feedback.
While the reviews reflect an attentive owner and a well-equipped cottage, there are no specific mentions of gifts provided to guests. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.
About this property
Surrounded by beautiful countryside on the edge of the pretty village of Melcombe Bingham, Greygles provides generous accommodation for a family and is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday break in Dorset.
The accommodation comprises one ground floor and three first floor bedrooms, all with rural views. There is a generous light filled sitting room with open fire, television and french doors to the garden.
The fully equipped kitchen has an Aga cooker, separate oven and hob, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining room table can seat up to eight guests and has a full view of the surrounding Dorset countryside.
This is Thomas Hardy country, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just off the Wessex Ridgeway walkers’ path, set in the hills and woods of central Dorset. The Jurassic Coast with its dramatic cliffs, coves and beaches is only a half an hour drive away, and within easy reach of Greygles are numerous quaint villages, ancient abbeys and castles, wonderful gardens, lovely old towns, and even a tank museum.
Greygles is an old Dorset word for the bluebells that abound in the local woods in Spring, and a stroll to the nearby pub at Ansty affords you an opportunity to enjoy the flora and fauna along the way.

The weather has blessed us this week, adding to our thorough enjoyment of our stay in your beautiful cottage! We have all loved it! We've walked the countryside, visited the seaside, and learnt so much about Thomas hardy through visiting the local National Trust properties. We've enjoyed time together in the lovely lounge and shared meals around the dining room table. The views are amazing!
