We enjoyed our stay at the coach house. There was plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 3 children. The house is nicely decorated and well equipped. We were blessed with good weather so made good use of the hot tub. Christina is an excellent host.

The Coach House was beautiful, spacious and extremely relaxing. The hot tub and private garden was a bonus. The location is excellent too. It was perfect for our pre teen, my elderly father, our dog and the rest of us!

Just stayed for 2 nights wish it could have been longer! Lovely house - kids loved the hot tub and smart TV. Nice and roomy for a family of 4 with everything you need and could also take the dog! Close to Bournemouth although car needed. Good communication with the host and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

House was lovely and had all amenities. The kitchen had plenty of crockery & utensils. Beds were comfy. Lights were a little odd & I don't think we ever really understood how they worked! Garden was lovely and we sat out & enjoyed the sunset. We had a couple of issues but they were resolved pretty much immediately.

We loved the little touches that made the Coach House very homely and a little bit quirky. Much more spacious than we thought from the photos. 3 double rooms with a bathroom each, so perfect for 3 couples. A large kitchen, and a large lounge/dining area. Very cosy. Loved the hot tub although the area felt a little exposed to the neighbours in the winter! And great local pubs to walk to. We had a fab dinner at The Pear at Parley, and lunch the following day at The Angel. Would return and highly recommend!

My husband and I celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary with my parents.
The Coach House is beautifully decorated!
We were lucky with the weather and spent a lot of our evenings in the garden. A previous review mentioned the garden not being secure for their dog. Before booking I checked if this was being rectified as we have 2 Westies. I was assured it would be before the start of the season, and confirm the garden is secure for Westie sized and upwards dogs.
As well as Bournemouth and Poole being within easy reach by car, locally shop wise there is a lovely M&S Foodhall and a Tesco store just further along the main road.
Longham Lakes just being down from the entrance road was perfect for walks.
The house had all you could need for cooking meals. We did also visit The Angel Inn which is a 5 minute drive and is dog friendly. The staff were excellent and the pub style food was great. They have plenty of garden space for the summer months. We also went there for a lovely breakfast on our last morning.
Christina is an excellent host. She answered all my questions before and after booking and checked in by message during our stay.
We would return for sure!

We had a wonderful stay in Longham! The house itself if situated in a very central location for tourists within easy access to lots of great places. It was tricky to get in and out of the ring road it's just off, but it was a Bank Holiday which is most likely why!
It's said it slept 7-8 however we feel the pull out bed suits one small child only. One of our children slept with us or on a made up bed on the floor. The cleaner had forgot to make up our beds but the host was able to clearly tell me where everything I needed was kept and I was able to do this myself.
The garden was where we spent most of our time, relaxing, eating and in the hot tub. Dogs were welcome and the utility space was fantastic even offering washing machines etc if needed. The kitchen was very well equipped making life very easy to cook and was home from home.
All in all we made some fantastic memories, enjoyed the home and location very much and would like to thank Christina for having us! My sons 10th birthday was one to remember and thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

A fantastic house that catered for all our needs. It’s comfortable and clean and well equipped. Bedrooms are large and bright and there was plenty of space for everyone. We hoped to make use of the sofa bed for 2 children (6 & 9) but it was too small and only really large enough for 1 child. Wouldn’t hesitate on re booking and staying here again. Lots of local amenities and good location for exploring Dorset. An excellent property and great host.

The Coach House was beautifully decorated and had some very modern features inside, including the lights that I don't think we ever really got to grips with but we managed to get them to come on and go off so that was a bonus ! The kitchen had all the gadgets that you could ever need and three bathrooms and an extra loo was a bonus. However, we did have an issue with the garden not being secure for dogs and our terrier sized dog could easily have got out and had to be on the lead whenever we were in the garden. For this reason, unfortunately, we would not return.

Wonderful property with excellent facilities. Stayed for a few days after walking the Jurassic Coast and the house couldn't of been more perfect for our needs. Great garden with hot tub that was exactly what we needed to soothe our sore feet. Brilliant kitchen with all we needed to make our evening meals, particularly enjoyed having the big island which allowed us to sit around the kitchen and be sociable with our head chef. Location was ideal to quickly get to the start of our challenge at Corfe Castle and access the rest of the Jurassic Coast.
