Furlongs, A newly-converted property which is superbly located.

Furlongs is a fabulous property with ample space for up to ten guests to experience a special holiday in this most unique location. Furnished and equipped to exacting standards, the cottage offers all that one would wish for on a luxury break. Located at the end of a quiet lane from the centre of Abbotsbury village, Furlongs sits proudly just a few steps below the iconic 14th century St Catherine's Chapel. From every window the views are spectacular across the surrounding beautiful Dorset landscape, and you can stroll out of the front door to enjoy the popular village with its tea rooms, local pubs and shops, or nearby Swannery, Tropical Gardens or famous Chesil Beach.

With a choice of sitting rooms the property is perfect for getting all the family together, and there’s also plenty of space for relaxing away from all the main activity in a separate snug.

Long Awaited Family Get Together
What a gem, Furlongs was our piece of heaven for a week. A beautiful home in lovely surroundings,what a lucky find! I came with my brother and sisters and our partners and my dog. We all had our own sumptuous rooms to relax in and the spacious kitchen and lounges to socialise in and Frankie, my dog, loved the freedom of the large, secure garden. Furlongs is so clean and comfortable and absolutely everything that you could possibly want in a holiday home. The hamper was a welcome bonus, full of goodies and all very tasty. A local shop at the end of the lane and the beach and a pub a short walk away. We had a fabulous week, visiting nearby towns, doing coastal walks and taking in all the stunning countryside. We enjoyed some really tasty food in The Illchester Arms , where we had a warm welcome from very friendly staff. We will definitely be looking to book again and have already shared the accommodation link with friends.

Wonderful holiday home
We stayed at Furlongs for a week with 8 other members of my family and we had a wonderful time. The property is amazing. Spacious, beautifully furnished and in a beautiful setting. The grandchildren loved the outdoor space and it was safe and enclosed. We all thought this was the best holiday home we had stayed in. Thank you!

Family Get Togethet
Secluded position overlooking rolling hills towards the sea but only a few minutes walk from the lovely village of Abbotsbury. Spacious and very well appointed accommodation with terrific outside enclosed space. No hesitation in recommending this property to stay at for family or friends get togethers.

Luxury in an idyllic location
Hottest week of the year in Dorset and we picked a fabulous rental property for our family holiday. Pre booking research proved to be accurate so the Furlongs was as spacious and quiet as we had hoped. The generous and modern rooms allowed the multi family group a degree of privacy and yet plenty of communal spaces. With the most amazing garden and outside play areas our 2 year old grandson certainly had room to run play and explore whilst being safe and visible. Everybody had an amazing bedroom with en-suite luxury. Watching the Euros was a joy on the mega TV and there were so many other TVs to choose from. Walking to the beach, village etc was fantastic. Impeccably clean throughout. Great value for money really given the location and size.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location
This is an extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated house with comfy beds, luxurious bed linens and lovely bathrooms. The kitchen is wonderful with everything you could possibly need and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. On top of that, the house is in a fantastic location with wonderful views. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
