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.

Fantastic cottage
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.
Highly recommended a stay here.

A lovely house for a weekend with friends, very clean and tidy with comfortable beds and linen. Great views across the fields from the garden with a quirky layout inside, so watch your heads! Pretty, quiet village and close to the coast for a day trip.

Very spacious cottage, comfortable and homely. Extremely well equipped. Beautiful rear garden, with unusual arbutus [strawberry] tree, excellent for our dog. 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.

Delightful property next to a very helpful pub. Quite a distance from the coast but plenty to see nearby.The kitchen was well equipped and enough for everybody/The beds were comfortable and clean linen and towels. We wish this had been put in the description. Getting in contact with anyone before the stay was very difficult/Parking space for three cars was very tight., we now know why.

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

Yoah Cottage extended family break.
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.

Beautiful house in a quiet location
The house was very clean and comfortable.
It’s on a road but it’s a very quiet road so we didn’t notice any traffic sounds.
Beautiful village setting with easy access to nice beaches and walks.
Thankyou for hosting us!

We had a very comfortable stay here for 3 nights. 4 adults and 3 children between 8 and 18 months. The property was a greet size and so much room for everyone. A lovely quiet location with a stunning family friendly pub nextdoor which provide an ample menu. A very well equipped kitchen, although with a local shop a 20 minute walk/drive away, some Milk for that first cup of tea and a little welcome pack would have been much appreciated, particularly for the price you are paying to stay. Rooms were tidy and very comfortable for everyone, large and airy with lovely ensuites.We didn't need to speak to the host but we were able to speak to the General Manager of the New Inn nextdoor who also advised he manages the let's, he was very helpful and friendly.Parking is incredibly awkwars for 2 cars, especially a large car like our XC90! We were able to turnaround each time in the pub carpark which has alot of parking.Perhaps an arrangement could be made for future guests with larger vehicles to park in the pub carpark instead, this could be a good option for large parties.All in all a wonderful first stay in West Knighton and we would definitely recommend this cottage.

6 Adults, a toddler and 2 dogs stayed for a 3 night family break.
Very comfy beds and cosy rooms, en-suites were small but not really a problem but the main downstairs bathroom lovely and large. Lovely meals supplied by the pub next door. Great location.
I do feel the garden needs some tlc.

Perfect location
I booked this cottage for its location as my son was getting married in Dorchester. We needed enough bedrooms for seven people and it fitted the bill.
But it was so much better than its location, beautiful place to stay and the New Inn next door made it for us. The seven of us had dinner on Friday night- fabulous and then the four of us still standing on Sunday the pub welcomed us again.
Thoroughly recommend, we all loved it.

Beautiful, thatched cottage.
The cottage was stunning -perfect English thatched cottage -beautiful and spacious with comfortable beds and we loved watching the sun set over the fields from the back garden. We took our golden doodle dog and went on many walks all around the incredible coast. The pub supplied 2 meals -fish pie and veg curry and both were delicious. A peaceful little village with walks straight from the house too. We hope to return!
