We really liked Cedar House and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is an older property which comes with its quirks (but that's also why we preferred it to the soulless hotel chains). The furnishings and paintings made it feel homely and warm. Staff were lovely, the breakfast was great and it was a pleasure to sit out in the garden for some peace and quiet. The pub, almost next door, serves good evening meals. It was also a great base for exploring the area - we had never heard of, but really liked, Hengistbury Head which is only a few miles away.
