Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Had everything you needed, was warm and had lovely decorative touches. Thought the hamper, wine and milk was a lovely welcome too, as were the hosts. Would recommend and stay again.
Evening sue thank you so much for you kind review we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.
Hope you come back to visit us again soon.
All the best

"I don't often write reviews because my Nan told me that if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing!"
I did want to take the time to leave feedback for Dave and Tracy though because our stay at Little Haven was perfect in every regard. Two of us and two dogs, just returned from five nights over New Year and we had the best time.
The quality of the build, the decorations, the facilities and even the artwork was outstanding (so much so that Ali has already ordered the Rabbit print on the bedroom wall :-)). It is always the little details that make so much difference: Excellent kitchen equipment including sharp knives (I usually take one with me because they rarely are.) An air-fryer, four slot toaster etc. I know these may seem trivial to some but they mean so much to us. The towels and linen were immaculate and fabulous quality. The hallway must have been designed for dogs! Poo bags and treats provided. Ample kitchen and loo roll was a welcome surprise as was the lovely welcome hamper.
When we go away with the dogs we are out and about mostly. The weather wasn't kind for a couple of days but what a fantastic place to cost up with a bottle of wine and a huge OLED TV. We have stayed in Dorset and further west many times, Little Haven is without a doubt the best place we have stayed in and we will definitely be coming back.
Recommend a visit to Swanage and the Crown Pub in Blandford Forum does great food.
Thanks loads to Dave and Tracy.
Thank you nick so much for your lovely review we are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us at little haven and found everything you needed and Thank you for leaving the place so clean and tidy.

The property
Little Haven is a beautifully presented semi-detached holiday home set in the owners grounds offering partial rural views and if you take a short walk down the adjacent bridleway you could see the bright lights of Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight on a clear day.

Little Haven is a romantic dwelling boasting a stunning, open-plan interior completed by a sumptuous double bedroom, modern bathroom and an enclosed patio area making it a fabulous choice for couples looking to explore all Dorset has to offer with their beloved canine companion.
Private parking is on the drive outside the home and entrance is then into a spacious hall with storage for coats and shoes.
The modern shower room can be found at the end of the hall.
The inviting bedroom is to the left with coordinating soft furnishings as well as kingsize bed, matching furniture and to the right is the modern open plan living with large wall mounted TV and a cosy sofa to snuggle up in front of having cooked a delicious meal in the newly fitted kitchen with fridge, freezer, dishwasher and electric and hob and enjoyed it on the dining table and chairs in front of the French doors whilst a couple of dogs play safely outside.
If you choose to tear yourself away from this comfortable home there is so much locally on offer with a whole host of walking, cycling and hiking opportunities for those looking to experience the great outdoors.
Explore the nearby town of Blandford Forum where you can walk the North Dorset Trailway, discover The Blandford Town Museum and ply golf at Ashley Wood Golf Club as well as attractions within easy reach to include Longleat wildlife and safari park, Stourhead mansion or the National Trust site of Kingston Lacy.

Where you’ll be staying
BLANDFORD FORUM
Thornicombe 2.7 miles; Child Okeford 6.5 miles; Moors Valley Country Park & Forest 17.9 miles.
Blandford Forum is a market town in Dorset, England, situated by the River Stour. Notable for its Georgian architecture, most of the town was rebuilt in the 18th century after it was destroyed by a fire in 1731. King George II made a donation to rebuild the town centre with designs from local architects John and William Bastard. The Blandford Georgian Fayre is an annual event held in the first week of May and celebrates its Georgian heritage, with presentations, historical re-enactments and music and dancing. One of the town’s biggest events takes place on the late Bank Holiday weekend, the Great Dorset Steam Fair. A largely colourful festival with over 2,000 exhibits and an old time steam funfair. Offering a wide selection of independent store, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, cafés and a Georgian tearoom. So much to visit within this quaint town and makes for a wonderful tourist attraction, whatever the season.
