The F Family
Thank you for a lovely stay at La Rose, it was the perfect way to see in The New Year. We loved our welcome pack, very thoughtful. Cottage was a home away from home, super cosy. Perfect location to go exploring in Dorset, but also lovely to stay for a cosy afternoon. Thanks for a great stay. Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here, it has been a really relaxing couple of days. It was so spacious and helped my partner walk around freely as he is partially sighted so thank you for that. The fizz, bread & biscuits were a really kind gesture, thank you Nancy. Happy New Year to you and your family!
