A perfect place, that was perfectly placed. Clean, comfortable and a wonderful welcome. We had a lovely relaxing break
Divine cottage beautifully presented - top quality equipment and furnishings super accommodating host - totally recommend
The cottage was stunning, beautifully decorated and maintained with quality furnishings. The hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. We had a fantastic time. Thank you.
This is a superb property. Top quality, beautifully maintained, lots of nice touches, quirky, charming, comfortable, wonderful village and smashing hosts. Hard to beat and highly recommended.
We had a lovely stay over the Christmas break. Craig was a great host, warm and welcoming. A lovingly looked after cottage in a beautiful location with everything you could need. Would highly recommend :)
The cottage was perfect in beautiful surroundings. Owners we’re friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault it.
The cottage was excellent very clean and well presented. Craig and Amanda made me feel very welcome as did the local villagers in The King's Arms, the local pub.
Beautiful cottage and lovely location. Craig and Amanda had thought of every little detail for the accommodation to make it so cosy and comfortable . Very generous hamper with lots of local goodies. Sumptuous bed linen. Thank you we had a lovely break.
Lovely cottage in a beautiful village renovated to a very high standard
Excellent location, beautiful cottage, peaceful, nice local pub and not far to the coast. Very relaxing area with plenty of walks in the area. The owners are next door so any problems would get sorted promptly (we didn't have any). Nice welcome basket, the essentials, was welcomed.

Very comfortable, quirky cottage. The owners were just next door, and very helpful in helping us with minor problems
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-night stay at Kites Holt in October. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable. It's also in a great location - lovely country walks on the doorstep and a short drive (~20mins) to the coast and nearby larger towns and other attractions. Craig was a great host and was happy to share tips on things to do nearby.
Warm and comfortable in a delightful area. For elderly people the stairs were difficult. The kitchen was on the small side but the cottage was fitted out with great care and very attractively decorated.
Excellent accommodation in a building of great character. Owners obviously care about their guests and couldn't be more helpful.
Everything was perfect. Beautiful cottage, helpful owners and pretty friendly village. Great location.
Perfectly presented with helpful hosts. Lovely situation. The quirky staircase could prove difficult for anyone not fully mobile.
Really nice cottage, although all on different levels the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was beautiful, but in the basement, this meant having to navigate the winding narrow staircase down two floors from the bedroom, definitely not for the faint hearted or anybody slightly infirm. Superb welcome hamper was very welcome. Safe easy parking for the car. Small but well kept village location, nothing there but the Kings Arms pub, which was very welcoming serving good food and dogs welcome. Long drive to anywhere of interest along narrow twisting lanes for miles. Craig who met and us on arrival proved to be a very good and always on hand when needed. Overall a pleasurable three day stay. Fully recommended, but not for anybody unsteady on the legs because of the stairs.
Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed - we couldn’t fault it. The welcome hamper was full of local produce which we really appreciated. Thank you to Craig and Amanda for being so welcoming - we would thoroughly recommend staying at Kites and hope to come again soon.
Tastefully and comfortably furnished and well equipped cottage. Great location for local country walks (including a very friendly village pub) and in easy reach of the Jurassic Coast. The owners, Craig and Amanda, are the perfect hosts and helped to make our stay memorable.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
