Wonderful Easter Break
Lovely stay in the self catering cottage very comfortable a home from home. The hot tube was just what was needed after a few long walks. Location is great can get to most other towns and villages. The owners were lovely and we enjoyed meeting the new baby calves. Would definitely stay again.

Shave farm
What a beautiful accomodation. The hosts were very kind and gave us all sorts of information about the area. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean.The garden was lovely and the garden furniture was perfect. The only negative was the noise from the nearby road, but you didn't hear it from inside the house. We would highly recommend the accomodation.

Lovely break
We spent a week here in August and have just got round to submitting a review. The cottage was very comfortable and clean and the farm itself was well kept and beautiful. We all loved the hot tub, as well as the opportunity to roast marshmallows at the firepit. Kate and James were really friendly and welcoming. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or to recommend to others.

Nice break
Kitchen is being updated soon, new oven and hob mainly needed and bigger fridge. Plenty of kitchen equipment provided. Bedrooms are roomy and comfortable but chest of drawers would be helpful. Found hot tub temperamental, all jets wouldn't work together but lovely and warm. Hosts extremely helpful. Quite near to A303 so had some road noise.

Homely stay with a touch of luxury
We had a lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed having the hot tub to relax on at the end of a day exploring the Jurassic coast. The owners are on site and were very helpful. We were very pleased with the accommodation and would highly recommend it!

Fantastic weekend away
We stayed in the self catering cottage for a long weekend in June 21. Kate greeted us when we arrived and showed us to the cottage, the bottle of wine and box of chocolates was a lovely touch. The cottage is very spacious and spotlessly clean. The grounds were very pretty with the cottage garden flowers in bloom. The kids loved visiting the animals and playing on the play equipment. There was plenty of space around the cottage for them to play safely too. The hot tub was a fantastic addition after a long day out. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property in lovely surroundings
Shave Farm is a lovely setting for a relaxing holiday. The Cottage is extremely well appointed and comfortable. The hot tub is an essential for us when we stay in the UK and this one didn’t let us down. It’s huge and really easy to operate. Kate and James were the perfect hosts; available if you need them but otherwise unobtrusive. Thank you for having us!

Wonderful stay
We had such a wonderful time. Kate and James were so welcoming and kind - they let the kids feed the young calves, take a goat on a walk, collect fresh eggs and even go for a ride on the quad bike! Lots of do, beautiful location and lovely people. Thank you for a lovely stay :)
