Value for money outstanding. Expedia and VRBO websites not the easiest to navigate, but this isn’t the owners fault directly. Great food “take-away offers from New Inn next door and landlord most helpful. Their in-house food was exceptional.

This is a beautiful old cottage in the countryside but conveniently, right next to the pub! There are lots of fantastic walks straight from the front door around farmland and woods. Weymouth is only around a 10 minute drive. Stacey is a great host and wasn't concerned that I accidentally broke one of her wine glasses! There's parking for 2 cars on the driveway but lots of spaces available in the pub overflow car park. We highly recommend this cottage for a peaceful and relaxing countryside stay. We're definitely going to return again soon.

I booked for 4 of us as 2 of our friends had just celebrated their 80th birthdays Yoah cottage is one of the best places I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in a few. The cottage itself is stunning and really clean and the beds are so comfortable really is a bit of luxury. There is everything there that you could need lovely touch with milk,butter, tea,coffee biscuits jam marmalade really was excellent coffee machine all cleaning materials The location is excellent for getting to Weymouth Lyme Regis The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the garden furniture really does need some attention as was not very comfortable sitting outside as benches are quite wobbly. The pub next door is lovely we pre booked a lasagna which was huge and tasted amazing we can’t wait to come back we really had an amazing time and a actually wish we had booked longer

We had such a wonderful stay at Yoah Cottage! The house was nice and clean and so cosy! And the kids loved the big garden to play in. It was also very thoughtfull that the owner had put some toys in de kids room. We had two amazing dinners at the pub next to the cottage and have already talked about coming back next year. Would 100% recommend!

Lovely cottage with plenty of space for 8 of us. The kitchen was nice and having two fridges was great. No ventilation in either of the en suites which wasn't ideal. The house has very low beams and 6 out of 8 of us whacked our heads once or twice (one person being left with a bleeding head). Needs better 'mind your head' signs or padding on the really low ones. Garden was lovely but it could really do with some decent/comfortable garden furniture. Nice pub next door with decent food.

Having stayed at Yoah Cottage with 8 members of our family last year, we were delighted that it was available again this year, so we arrived this time with the addition of our baby granddaughter.Everything was as good as we remembered it, the cottage was very clean, with the exception of a few cobwebs, but this somehow added to its charm. The beds were clean & comfortable with nice linen, showers & bathroom were also good. Had a couple of meals at the New Inn next door which were fab!There were just a couple of things that could do with addressing:The sink plug in the master bedroom shower room wouldn't hold water due to a faulty seal.The wi fi instructions we were given were completely wrong, I believe the router is in the pub and there are 3 wifi extenders throughout the cottage, we figured out that you had to log in to the extender nearest the TV to access wifi, then it worked & we were able to watch the football as long as no one else in the cottage was browsing the internet.The garden furniture was quite old & rickety, especially the two chairs, which we didn't feel safe using.If these small issues were addressed, the cottage would be perfect, having said this, we would have no hesitation in recommending a stay there. We'll probably be back next year.

Brilliant base to explore Dorset. Lovely cottage, very comfy and convenient for all the towns and beaches along the Jurassic Coast.
Just 30 seconds stagger from the New Inn pub which is also lovely. Outside area to watch the sun go down, great food.

A very friendly and helpful host at the inn next door, who also looked after the cottage. Can recommend the large lasagna, fish pie and Thai curry dishes prepared by the inn's chef. No complaints or quibbles whatsoever.

60th Birthday weekend
My Husband loves Dorset, and how better to spend time in this lovely county celebrating his 60th birthday than in this adorable thatched cottage. Full of character yet modern, clean and comfortable. We all loved staying at Yoah Cottage with the added bonus of The new Inn next door. Would highly recommend this accommodation for a break in the country

We had a wonderful family get together in Yoah Cottage over a long weekend. Other family members stayed in Angel Cottage over the same period. The whole holiday was a great success with Yoah Cottage particularly providing excellent facilities and the perfect layout. A fabulous meal on our last night at The New Inn. Altogether a 5* occasion.
