Wey cottages are in beautiful surroundings in the middle of the hills. The stables and horses are interesting , my dog enjoyed âtalkingâ the horses !!! The cottage itself was really comfortable & well equipped.

The perfect out of town location that is still close enough to go in and out to places! Parking was a bit of an issue this stay due to other visitors parking directly in front of their own cottage door, meaning they effectively parked in the middle of 2 spaces and reduced the number of spaces available. We have never experienced these issues before even when there have been significantly more cars in the car parking area. Overall a great stay as always and we will be booking again soon!

The Wi-Fi was excellent. The facilities in the kitchen were really good. Parking was perfect. Barbecue area was lovely. There is nothing I can say negative about this property and we will definitely be staying there again, Weymouth was only a short drive away. We were really pleased and had a great weekend thank you.
