The Mount

Thank you for a wonderful week at The Mount. It was perfect for our extended family – eight adults and four grandchildren, with room to find some quiet too. The kitchen is superbly laid out and equipped, and thinking of the little but important things, like having on arrival sufficient loo paper, soap, washing up liquid, tea bags etc for the whole of our stay, really made us feel welcome (as well as your very kind welcome pack!). It makes such a difference not having to go off immediately to buy 'essentials' when you know you're only going to use half of them. We really enjoyed the garden too, which the children loved and was very safe for them. We would certainly recommend The Mount for any large family group like ours.

The Mount oozes character and space, coupled with the extraordinary additional touches, which all combine to make a place which is unforgettable. The garden too was much appreciated and used, and so good to have it for the two dogs to run around in...... Thank you for all the generous extras you provided, which were very much appreciated. We do hope we will be able to visit again. It would be our third visit. Thank you again for helping us make memorable events to be treasured. Your beautiful house makes me emotional!

A brilliant property, highly recommended. We were a party of nine adults, four children and a baby. The house and garden were perfect for us; lots of space for communal activities and also escapes for quiet moments. It was lovely discovering things in every cupboard and drawer. Elaine and Carl were extremely helpful but not at all obtrusive. Thanks for enabling a really memorable family get-together.

The perfect house! We were a group of friends with children and this was just the perfect place for a reunion weekend. The house is not only very homely and characterful, but also has anything you need. The kitchen was fully kitted (great for cooking for 14!) and even had all the plastic cutlery you would need for the little ones. We enjoyed relaxing by the fire, playing board games, playing pool and croquet (great set), and the children loved the toys and the ride-on wheelie bugs. Lovely special touches too on our arrival. Many many thanks to Elaine and Carl for a weekend we won't forget!

We were a large group with 4 small children celebrating a family birthday. From first contact to last, Elaine was extremely helpful. The attention to detail within the house was superb - there is everything you could wish for. Toys and books for children, musical instruments and a fantastically well equipped kitchen and utility. The beds were really comfortable and the bathrobes were a lovely touch. The Mount is well situated for town and shopping as well as long walks around Durlston Country Park. A perfect setting for a family celebration. Thank you Elaine and Carl.
