Great large characterful house in lovely location

Large and characterful house, very comfortably accommodated our extended family group of 14. It's not hugely smart but loads of lovely features and interesting old furniture, which we really liked about it. Very comfortable, well equipped. Great big gardens at front and back for games and eating out. We had a fabulous stay. Masses to do in the area. We could have easily filled a couple of weeks!

Great place for a family group

Ilsington Farmhouse is a lovely old place, plenty of room and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay for my wife's birthday, and it was great to have the whole family under one roof. I only found out late on that there are only 2 bathrooms for the 7 bedrooms, but it wasnt a problem for us. A very rural location as you'd expect, but easy to find with the directions supplied.

Lovely house for a family holiday

Our family of 7 adults and 5 children had a lovely week in this beautiful house. There was plenty of room for all of us, with large rooms and comfortable beds. The children, aged between 20 months and 10 years, really enjoyed themselves – especially in the garden. The goals and the shepherd’s hut were particularly popular. The house is in a very quiet area and is very well equipped. It is close to lots of attractions: we visited Corfe Castle, Weymouth, the Swannery at Abbotsbury and the lighthouse area on the Isle of Portland. This is an excellent house for families and we would recommend it to others.

Lovely 3 night family stay

We had a lovely 3 night family stay in April. There were 13 off us in total, and plenty of room for everyone. It felt really homey, the kitchen was lovely and warm with a large table everyone could eat at. The gardens are big, which was great for the kids to run around and play football/ cricket etc. On a rainy day the kids enjoyed playing hide and seek round the house. The house decor and furnishings are not pristine but we quite liked that, and thought it added to its charm. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great Easter get together

We pick somewhere different to go every Easter. This was our choice this year. We like lots of outdoor space nice walks plenty of room to spread around in the house. This property gave us all these things. As well as having Alex come and cook our dinner for us which was a nice treat. He did exactly what he said he would do arrived cook the dinner no fuss .Thanks for everything.

Spacious and impressive house with short falls

This house in Dorset is spacious, impressive and with history. Our group of 12 had plenty of space to relax and distract. Large bedrooms, well working central heating and a large kitchen, was highly appreciated. Although there had been several short falls, like 2 bathrooms which could not be fully used due to failures of faucets and shower head. We tried to remove lime stone from the shower head in order to use it. One faucet didn't turn at all, so only hot water (really hot) was available at the sink. It was pretty anoying for 12 people to use the bathrooms. Internet WLAN was great on the ground floor, but no receiption on 1st and 2nd floor. Ceilings and walls may benefit from some restoration. Overall it feels like there is no attention to details anymore. Like mould around the faucet at the kitchen sink. I recommend to spend some money and more time to do a thorough walk-thru and check. Sorry, but we would not book it again.

A real family home for all generations

Large rooms with superior beds and bedding. Three generations enjoyed the space and quality. Great secure back garden for youngsters and large outdoor table worked well for family meals. The enormous front garden wasn’t needed but would be great for games with older children and adults. Local shop was well stocked and a few minutes drive away , the local beaches are easily accessible and Weymouth near enough to visit . It felt very relaxed and special . Many thanks for sharing your home. It was easy to imagine, and to dream, of living there . Sue and family

Great weekend stay for a 40th

We had a great experience here....lot's of helpful communication in advance, easy arrangements and check in/out and we really enjoyed our stay. The house itself is homely and happy, easy accommodating six couples with plenty of space and options. Shopping deliveries (ahead of the great lockdown of 2020!) were easy, and we were well positioned for lovely trips out to the coast. It was a memorable stay for lots of reasons, and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending this house as a great choice for a group wanting a relaxing stay in the area!

The perfect country escape

I stayed here with some friends for a weekend away for my birthday. From start to finish it was the perfect country escape! The house is beautiful and more than enough space to fit larger groups comfortably. The location is perfect for walks and local pubs near by are just adorable. Highly recommend!

Amazing House

We booked the house for extended family weekend away, for 14 of us. It was a. Rey comfortable, relaxing house to be in. Beds were very good, kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could need . It was a lovely, warm house to relax in. The dining room easily seated us all. The house is very interesting and full of character and charm. We would love to return.
