The Mount

The Mount is quaint and beautiful. It has a great atmosphere – with large rooms, lots of space and something for everyone. We all loved the billiard table. The house is in a great location with plenty of parking and we would recommend it to anyone. We would love to go back.

This is a fabulous house and was ideal for the whole family to be away for a few days. We were four generations – from great-grandparents, at 89 years old, down to a three-month baby. The pool table ended up being at the centre of the entertainment, there was a lovely open fire and The Mount was spacious enough for everyone to do their own thing…a key plus!!! Thanks so much for your help and support with our stay Elaine and for your clear directions. We are now thinking about making it an annual jaunt!

We are a group of 7 girlfriends and our visit to The Mount was our 4th long weekend away together. We all absolutely loved the house - it felt like we were being enveloped in a big warm hug when we walked through the front door! Elaine was a delight to deal with through the booking process and checked in by text whilst we were there. The rooms were all very comfortable and the house was extremely well equipped with everything we needed and more. We hired a chef to cook for us on the Saturday night and he was very happy with the kitchen. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Mount.

The Mount is an ideal house for a multi-generational gathering. There is plenty of space in the large rooms for different activities. We were five families including three toddlers. The facilities were excellent. The kitchen is fully equipped with nice crockery and pans etc. For inside entertainment there is an endless choice from musical instruments to ride on ladybirds. The pool table was a big hit. For outdoor activities it is so easy to get onto the coastal path up to Durlston Castle. The hosts Elaine and Carl were very friendly. We had a great time and would go there again.

We have just had at lovely stay at The Mount. Everything we hoped for was provided for and this made for a lovely relaxing few days. You have thought of everything! We were so impressed with all the little touches, the organic hand washes, bathrobes, super kitchen equipment, beautiful gifts, wood for the fire, games, toys, musical instruments and the knitting! Not to mention the very comfy beds. All in all it made our stay super comfy and a home from home - actually a bit nicer than home! It would be lovely to come back again.
