Loose Reins

Unbelievably stunning location, comfy accommodation, and excellent hospitality from this gorgeous family-run business, would highly recommend!

LOOSE REINS ATTEMPTING TO STEAL MY DEPOSIT! Despite pointing out the clear direction given by the Competition & Markets Authority (look at the CMA blog), Loose Reins continue to challenge my credit card company over the deposit that I've claimed back. This is nothing short of theft. It's like telling someone it's ok to rob someone because they said so beforehand. The law doesn't change just because a company has made up their own rules. If you wish to book with this unscrupulous company you risk the same fate.

The most magical, beautiful setting. Attention to every little detail and immaculately maintained grounds. Stunning!

Wow, wow, wow. We stayed in our stunning Gold Panners cabin to celebrate my 50th BD. The cabin was brilliantly designed with clever storage spaces and hanging hooks. Both the inside and out was very authentic with touches that took me to another era. The balcony with the rocking chairs was a real favourite with stunning views across the valley to Hambledon Hill which we climbed one day. Another fantastic walk was through the woods behind Loose Reins. The cabins have good cooking facilities and cooking barbecues on the fire pit was just magically and memorable. Marc, Jannette and other staff were really friendly, helpful and gave advice on the local area. The loyalty shop is stocked with wonderful local produce - my favourites were the local IPA and ice cream. The log fire and firepit were easy to get started. The shower was really good and always had warm water. We travelled further afield to places like Durdle Door but equally we had gorgeous days just enjoying the cabins and the beautiful location. Interacting with Butch and Sundance (resident goats), lassoing bull and horse shoe tossing were wonderful touches making the visit memorable. On the final night, with no lighting we witnessed the most amazing night sky, with so many stars and constellations. We had a truly wonderful time and will return. The cabins designed by Marc are really something special and all the top ratings for this magical place are deserved. Many thanks

An absolute oasis! Jeanette & Mark are perfect hosts. Our cabin was gorgeous and spotlessly clean. Very comfortable bed and well equipped bathroom and kitchen - the hot chocolate was delicious. The views are splendid and the quiet and true darkness of the nights are a tonic. We can't wait to return!
