We’ve been really pleased to receive some wonderful feedback from guests staying in Hopscotch Cottage, Cobblers Cottage and Barn Cottage over the past few months.

Guests have praised the cottages for their peaceful countryside setting, comfortable beds, cosy feel and great location for exploring West Dorset and the Jurassic Coast.

One guest staying at Hopscotch Cottage described it as:
Very peaceful cottage. Good location for visiting local attractions. Beds very comfortable.” biscuits, cereal, milk, teabags and fresh flowers.

Another Hopscotch guest loved being surrounded by beautiful countryside and being just a short drive from Hive Beach, with easy access to Lyme Regis and other local attractions

Chris’s party gave Hopscotch Cottage 5 stars for comfort, cleanliness, equipment and location, while Mandy’s party gave Cobblers Cottage 5 stars across the board, simply saying:
“It was perfect.”

We also had some lovely comments about Barn Cottage, with one guest saying:

It’s a lovely autumn day out and a great addition to a stay at Graston Farm Cottages, with beautiful scenery and the chance to see the swans in this very special setting.

🍂 Book your visit soon and make the most of the final weeks of the season.

A stunning day out on the Coast Path today and we don’t think that Mother Nature has got the autumn memo. It really felt like summer had returned. ☀️

Did you get out on the Path today?
