Great location

The cottage was well appointed, all the basics were covered and it suited us well for a long weekend. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and provided some basics too. I hadn't realised the bathroom was downstairs and whilst not devastating it did cause me some concern with night time use. The cottage was superficially clean, but there were some areas of inattention. I did raise one issue with the owner and apologies were given, along with a bottle of wine, but I hope that steps will also be taken to prevent reoccurence.

Family holiday

We enjoyed a lovely stay at this cottage. Location for walking to Beaminster town is perfect and the local Spar is just a stones through away. Cottage is well equipped and wifi was good enough for all 4 of us. Some lovely local walks around and never had any problems parking right outside. Would recommend to all..

Cosy Martock Cottage

We loved our stay in Martock Cottage. We were especially looking for a holiday stay with comfortable and dog secure outside space, this was perfect at Martock, Eddie loved sitting on the bathtub bench and watching the wildlife. Inside was beautifully clean and very charming. Very well placed for walking into Beaminster for food at some lovely eateries. Thank you again x

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Dickerson

Hi, I'm married and we've got a lovely six year old daughter called Mia and a very cute border terrier called Tilly. We love to travel around the UK and the world, showing Mia all the wonderful places we visited before she was born.

We both run our own businesses (communications and plumbing) so we've got a great work life balance. This means we get to spend lots of time at our cottage in West Dorset enjoying the local beaches with Mia and the dog. Thailand is our all time favorite overseas destination, we've yet to take Mia!

We are all fully house trained and we treat other peoples homes with as much care and pride as we do our own.
