Godwin's has all the essentials to make your stay wonderful and a few added luxuries that make it that little bit extra special, including your own private roof terrace where you can enjoy a restful breakfast with the morning sun, or a glass of wine and dinner alfresco overlooking the stunning scenery and it is a great space for star gazing.

We spent 14 wonderful days with our family in this romantic cottage. Ruth anticipated our every need and was always friendly and helpful. The coast, the beaches, and the surrounding parks, meadows, and forests are beautiful, natural, and unspoiled. Our dog had a great time on the large, fenced property and playing with Ruth's dogs. There are excellent dog-friendly restaurants in the area. Thank you for this wonderful time.Best regards,Christian, Birgit, and Henry

We had an amazing stay at this lovely cottage! It is even better than the photos, the terrace was perfect and the garden is huge with a massive hot tub, and a brilliant BBQ! The host Ruth is so kind and responsive and went out of her way to be helpful! It was also possible to get a taxi to the cottage and have some groceries delivered which isn't always possible in these lovely countryside properties!It was a wonderful stay - thank you so much!

We loved our stay here; Ruth was very friendly and welcoming and had left a box of welcome gifts, including treats for our dog, which were all very much appreciated. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and well equipped, and close to many beautiful areas to explore. The hot tub was the perfect finishing touch to ensure we went home feeling very relaxed. We will definitely be back! Thank you

Just got back from our stay. The cottage was in a quiet rural location. Well located for visits to local beauty spots and the coast if you have a car.
The cottage was clean and well equipped. The hosts made us feel really welcome and are just next door if you need anything. We took our 2 dogs and they enjoyed playing in the large back garden which is secure. Would definitely recommend and return

Our second visit to this quaint cottage, just big enough for two plus dog. Lovely private hot tub and upstairs deck. Plenty of secure space for dogs to run around.
Ruth was a respectful and attentive hostess and we look forward to another visit.

Warm and cosy for a New Year's getaway. Clean and full of character, the location of the cottage is great for the coast, Dorchester and many other interesting places.
Enjoying the hot tub in January is also recommended!

Had a wonderful 2 night stay. We were left a lovely welcome pack, including fresh homemade bread and a bottle of wine. Sat in hot tub looking over the frosty fields in perfect peace & quiet, other than the wildlife. We will be back.

If quirky, cute & remote is what you’re after then look no further. This cottage was an absolute joy to stay in. We stayed here for 4 nights as a mini moon after our wedding and it did not disappoint. Ruth the owner is absolutely lovely to deal with and she made the whole process from booking to check in seamless.
Little added touches of fresh bread and strawberries when we arrived were so lovely and appreciated after a long drive.
Sitting in the hot tub in the evening was amazing after a long day sight seeing.
All in all we had an absolutely fabulous stay at Hedera Cottage and cannot recommend it enough. Thank you for having us stay in your beautiful home.

Amazing cottage, really friendly and welcoming hosts. Stunning location with everything we could of asked for with a little bit more. Our dog loved the stay as he met new friends and had a great safe and secure space to run around in. Local beaches are 15 mins away with local shops around 3-4 minutes drive was perfect.

Great cottage
Probably the best UK holiday we have had in years. A lovely location. Hot tub a great bonus. Ruth and Mike were attentive without being intrusive and very keen to ensure we had a good time. Probably the best welcome pack we’ve ever had! Dog friendly, so our Ziggie had a great time

First holiday as a couple
It was a brilliant experience as we both had never been to Dorset before.
The cottage was amazing and the view from the balcony was stunning.
Loved the added touches of the complimentary slippers and dressing gowns. We had also been provided with a complimentary bottle of wine and snacks when we arrived.
The hot tub was bigger then we expected which was an added bonus!!
The only small issue I guess we had, would of been not being able to arrive at the cottage sooner then 4pm.
Overall a great experience and we would 100% stay there again.
Thank you for letting us enjoy the amazing cottage. Hope to see you soon.

Superb property and over exceeded expectations
I have only positive feedback on my stay as the cottage was absolutely perfect for a long weekend away. My puppy had an incredible time in the garden all weekend as it was perfectly secure and plenty of space for her to run and play whilst I sat in the hot tub. Our hosts Ruth and Mike were incredibly welcoming and we arrived to freshly baked bread, wine and snacks which was completely unexpected but just added to the wonderful experience of our stay.
Thank you Ruth and Mike, we will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
We have just stayed at Hedera Cottage for a few nights for my partners birthday and we were very pleased. Ruth is a great host and we couldn’t have asked for more! Everything we needed was provided to us and the location is perfect if you want to just relax and do your own thing. We will definitely stay here again 😊

We wanted a chilled out weekend, and got it!
The property was described by the owner Ruth as quirky, and it was in a lovely way! It had plenty of character and the views were superb across the fields. The hot tub was a lovely bonus, and we would thoroughly recommend it. Even our dogs enjoyed their stay! Moreton itself doesn't have too much in the way of things to do, but the again it was a great location not far away from places like the Tank Museum, Monkey World, Lulworth Cove and so on. Even Poole is just a 25 minute drive away.

An hidden gem
We were met by Ruth and Mike at their Beautiful cottage. This is so much more than just a holiday let. Their touch on arrival was amazing with home made bread, milk scones, fresh strawberries, little treats and a bottle of wine.
The Cottage is stunning with nice views of open fields, comfy bed and covered hot tub, which we spent every night in star gazing and listening to the owls. Ideally located for days out to local landmarks and the coast.
Really enjoyed our time in Dorset, it was just shame it went to quick.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the nice touch of fresh garden flowers, some treats, a homemade loaf and a bottle of wine were so unexpected and much enjoyed!

Perfect getaway
Amazing place for a nice getaway, ideal for taking a dog too as there’s lots of safe and secure space they can roam free outside the property. Extremely clean and tidy inside and lovely gifts left out on arrival. Lot’s of really nice places to visit in the surround area also. Couldn’t recommend a better place for couples to have a relaxing break. Lovely and helpful owners that greet you on arrival to give you a tour, perfect all round.

A fine time in Dorset
A warm welcome awaited us from Ruth and Mike to their quaint little cottage in Moreton. It was warm and comfortable and a good base for exploring that part of Dorset.

excellent rural retreat
The property was as imagined it to be. the cottage is situated on a quiet idyllic country road in an interesting atmospheric village with a timeless feel. Ruth and Mike made us very welcome and we arrived to be greeted by some excellent scones and bread and other goodies. The location is perfect for exploring Dorset. We particularly loved our bedroom with a very comfortable bed and luxury bedding.

Great Holiday
The whole experience of getting ready for our break was brilliant. Ruth and Mike kept us up to date with all of the new regulations due to COVID. On
arrival we were warmly met, even with social distancing. The accommodation was great and the location was fantastic, just what you want when you are unwinding. Ruth and Mike were great, there when you wanted them and always full of good advice. I don’t often make recommendations but for a relaxing holiday with two really nice people I can’t recommend this cottage enough.

Dog friendly weekend
Booking was easy and straight forward.
Communication from Ruth was great with travel directions that were easy to follow.
We were met by Ruth who was very welcoming and showed around the property and later met Mike who was also very helpful.
The property is lovely and very well presented and our dogs were welcomed and well catered for to. We would recommend this property and will definitely go back.

Perfect holiday cottage
The cottage is as described, but better. Well equipped with everything we needed and with fast wifi.
Great location, peaceful and private.
Great hosts, although we didn't see much of them but they were always available if needed.
We can't think of anything Ruth and Mike could do to improve the cottage; we will certainly consider returning and have no hesitation in recommending it.
