ABOUT
I look forward to welcoming you to my home in Wool in sunny Dorset. Getting here couldn't be easier either by car or train. Wool is on the main London to Waterloo line and we are around a 10-minute walk from Wool Station.
There is accessible accommodation and a first-floor family suite and they are ideally located for visiting some of the best Dorset attractions. Just 5 minutes drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Coast, the famous horseshoe-shaped bay of Lulworth Cove and the iconic rock arch of Durdle Door plus the award-winning Monkey World and The Tank Museum are within just a couple of miles away .
The lovely resort towns of Weymouth, Swanage & Lyme Regis are within easy reach and there are miles of fabulous footpaths for you to explore from the doorstep.
My goal is to make your stay a memorable and happy one!
