A truly amazing family holiday in beautiful Dorset. We loved the horses, cows, sheep, the tennis court, riding bikes up the drive and above all the swimming pool. Everyone enjoyed the facilities from Granddad and Granny down to the new baby Isabel. The weather was amazing so the golfers and windsurfers could enjoy themselves too. We hope to return. Thank you (11/06)
