What a hidden gem of a place! The room was lovely, very clean and John was absolutely lovely to deal with. Only a short distance to some lovely beaches too. The rooms themselves had everything you would need for a self catering holiday. Very clean and tidy and I would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family. We will definitely be back for more visits in the future. 5 star ratings for everything.

Garage conversion.
Lovely couple, very helpful and excellent breakfast. Good location if you are visiting River Cottage by car, but only one pub within walking distance nothing else around. We upgraded to larger room which was really a converted garage separate from house. Ok stay for one max 2 nights.

I liked the secluded, tranquil location of this B and B I was looking for a quiet retreat from which I could walk and hike parts of the Jurassic Coast. This B and B was just the ticket I set off each morning on a different pathway easy down hill walking and after a pleasant day exploring the coast while in places it was a steep uphill climb it was a pleasant walk back uphill to the B and B. Mostly on paths and bridal paths or quiet cycle route roads. Service was excellent from the welcoming owners, thougoughly enjoyed my stay.

There was heavy rain all night and because of the tin roof my sleep was badly interrupted. The hot water in the hand wash basin wasn't hot. The choice of breakfast cereals was very poor.

Not sure if this is the correct review as our detached annex does not have a tin roof but has an insulated EPDM roof to building reg standard.

Warm and friendly B&B.
We found a very warm welcome at this special B&B, nothing was too much trouble for our friendly hosts. The accommodation was very well equipped over and above what one would normally expect and the bed was very comfortable. The location was very quiet at night but also close to many attractions in the area. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Friendly welcome & comfy stay
We (two females) stayed in the “studio” a self contained conversion in front of the house. The studio has a kitchenette, huge comfortable king size bed, table & chairs, sofabed & armchairs. Because we wanted 2 beds, the sofa bed was made up & this made the room a bit cramped. Having said that it was fine, but would be better if the sofa stayed as one!! Breakfast was ordered the night before & delivered at a pre-agreed time to the studio. There was a coffee machine & toaster to use & juice, milk, tea, coffee, butter, bread & water were supplied. So it was a sort of self catering with breakfast cooked for you! Nice! Hosts were friendly & welcoming. You definitely need a car but if you like ice cream there’s an ice cream farm 100 yards away.

Home from home comforts
This was my first stay at Netherleigh and its quirky home from home feel made it a very enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a peaceful stay and is happy to enjoy home comforts rather than look for nights out although it is close enough to Axminster and Lyme Regis to make an excellent base for exploring West Dorset and East Devon.

Very spacious and very comfortable bed. Staff were lovely and friendly. You eat breakfast in your own private space which was nice. I'd recommend a taxi down into axeminster to far to walk on country lanes with no footpaths. If going to river cottage hq it's only a 5min drive away so perfect if doing a course there.

Very much a home from home, we stayed in the snug room and it had everything possible you can think of to make our stay comfortable. The owners were friendly and the breakfast was top notch. We stayed here for the River Cottage restaurant experience and this was a great location, just make sure you book a taxi in advance as they can be few and far between (as recommended by the owners!)
