Reviews
We spent some lovely days at Deer Leap Cottage, visiting family in Dorset. The cottage is spacious, comfortable, warm and well equipped. There is also a tennis court, swimming pool and games cabin with table tennis and pool table. We would love to return in the summer to enjoy all of these to their full. The cottage is located close to the Jurassic Coast and lots of walks and beaches. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended.
As I dog owner I cannot recommend Deer Leap cottage enough. Very dog friendly. Great walks. Beautiful
