We very much enjoyed our stay at Watersmeet. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and makes a great base for exploring Dorset. Its in a great location for shops, pubs and restaurants, with everything you need within walking distance. It is also very close to the Stour, with some lovely walks in the area. Probably the best equipped kitcheRead moren weve ever had on holiday and the kitchen diner is a great socialising space. The beds were very comfortable. A perfect place to stay. Hide

We had a brilliant stay at Watersmeet which is a immaculate modern family town house with all amenities a family needs for a great holiday experience. Situated near the river and just a short walk from local shops, pubs and restaurants the property has a very homely and welcoming feel and has a lovely garden to relax in. During our stay we visited Read morethe New Forest, and many of the local attractions, beaches and restaurants. We made many happy memories and looking forward to returning. Hide
