    limited breakfast
    tasteless food

    Breakfast options were very limited, and I was disappointed by the lack of variety. The cooked food was often tasteless, and I struggled to get basic condiments. the overall cleanliness needed more attention, as the cabin had cobwebs.

    neglected areas
    cold breakfast

    what a disappointment! the outside areas were a complete disaster, so neglected. breakfast? let's not even get started on the cold offerings, skimpy and frankly embarrassing. I expected a complimentary welcome gift for this shambles but woudl ve been happier with just decent breakfast. I almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t.

    friendly staff
    cozy atmosphere
    finicky shower

    Had a great time with friends! The staff were super friendly and we loved the cozy atmosphere. We visited the local market and took in some live music. Just a heads up, breakfast could use better organization but overall a fun place!

    One downside was the shower control in our cabin, which was a bit finicky and hard to manage.

    beautifully decorated cabin
    delicious breakfast
    serene garden view
    slow check-in

    My cabin was beautifully decorated with lovely little touches, and I absolutely loved the best eggs I've ever had for breakfast! The cozy little table outside my room was perfect for enjoying the garden view and beautiful flower arrangements. Just a minor note, it took a little while for someone to greet me upon arrival, but it didn't sour my experience at all. 😊

    peaceful surroundings
    thoughtful decor
    accessible chalets
    breakfast variety
    limited options

    The peaceful surroundings were perfect for relaxing, and the thoughtful décor in the chalet created a charming atmosphere. The chalets were easily accessible, providing comfort for those less mobile while still offering stunning views of the rural landscape.

    More variety in breakfast options would be appreciated.

    clean chalet
    garden view
    missing amenities

    decent place but lacking modern amenities

    The rural setting offered a refreshing escape. The chalet was clean and well-maintained. The garden view provided a serene backdrop during our stay.

    There was no TV in the chalet.

    cozy cabin
    friendly staff
    fresh breakfast
    steep walk

    A cozy retreat with cute surprises!

    We had such a lovely time! The cabin was super cozy, and we loved hanging out with the guinea pigs that were just roaming around. Breakfast was made fresh, and the evening menu had some yummy choices. The only thing was the walk back to the cabin was a bit steep, but the views made up for it!

    garden view

    Just an appropriate option for a stopover in Dorchester with good value for cost. The garden view outside my room made it a nice spot to unwind after traveling. Be prepared for a steep walk to the chalets.
