I would reccomend Kieran to anyone. He installed the shower cubicle that I have shown here. He was hard working, efficient and a pleasant, nice guy.well done.

Rating: 5 / 5

Kieran was brilliant- punctual, professional, polite, and knowledgeable. Carried out the work we had agreed on, plus went out of his way to help sort out a problem with my kitchen cupboard, which was over and above his remit. He left the area clean and tidy and was on hand to answer questions even after the job was done. I would not hesitate to recommend him, and will definitely use him again in the future.

Kieran was punctual, got back to us (unusual these days!) and quick to help, very reasonable, and efficient, and mended the fire. We will undoubtedly use him again.

I would highly recommend Osprey Plumbing services. The business director and owner, Kieran, is reliable and very approachable. He fitted a new combi-boiler in my house recently and I am so pleased with his work. He is efficient and a very conscientious and neat worker, he cleaned up after himself so well you wouldn’t know we’d had any work done. On top of this, Kieran doesn't charge over-the- top, ridiculous prices. His pricing is reasonable and fair.

Darren and Jack cleared several blocked up rainwater drains and ran a CCTV survey at a property I've just moved into. When I first called their number it went to voicemail but Darren texted me an hour or so later when he had signal and was at my house within 24hrs of first contact. They arrived early, talked me through everything, made useful suggestions for solutions and consistently went above and beyond to make sure I got everything I needed. The drains are all unblocked, they cleaned up after themselves and I now know much more about the drainage situation here and have options for future works. Throughout they were polite, professional and respectful. I'd use them again in a heartbeat!

Brilliant company!!! Highly recommend!!!! Darren and Co are so helpful it’s beyond words! Fitted us in so quickly with an urgent washing machine drain issue. With a 6 wk old babygirl you can imagine the pile of washing. As soon as I had called to explain the issue Darren and team were on hand immediately to rectify the problem, what a relief 😅. Professional at all times with a friendly manner and couldn’t have been more helpful. Wouldn’t use anyone else for drains or water issues again. Good price very happy.

Can strongly recomend Valley Drains. They've got all the kit, real expertise, well organised, a pleasure to deal with - great team, father and son. They did a great job for me here, quickly and efficiently. Richard Wilkin

Can’t rate this company highly enough, very quick to respond, even messaging late on a Sunday evening when we were in a situation, they were reactive and helpful. Great to find a company with such great service and customer care. Thank you

So had my whole bathroom redone by Country Plumbing and really impressed by the service of Daniel and Kelly.. Daniel is so easy to chat to and gets what the customer is after and Kelly equally is excellent at finding the right products to suit and very polite too. Daniels work cant be faulted and his actual skillset is amazing from putting up and repairing my new wall panels to installation of the bath. Really impressed by this Company. Well done. Will certainly be using again for other projects

Daniel and Kelly have been of immense assistance to me, with a variety of small but difficult issues and on several occasions . Nothing has been too much trouble for them and response times have been excellent, with Kelly being ace at communication . Daniel has readily called back to make a few adjustments as needed . And all at times to fit in with my work schedule down on the coast . They have also both worked hard to introduce me to other trades which I was having difficulty sourcing to handle some house improvements which required more skill than I could muster . Talk about going the extra mile (or ten) ! BRIAN

Great service, Chris was professional, punctual and completed the work in the time he said it would take. Wouldn't hesitate to use again or recommend to our friends.

Rating: 5 / 5

Chris altered the boiler pipe work so that the Magnaclean filter was not only accessible but is now protecting the systems it was meant to protect. This and some other work was done professionally, efficiently and exactly to the quote. Chris arrived exactly when he said, did a great job and at a reasonable cost. Will definitely use him again and recommend him to all.

Jack and his team are absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Genuinely lovely guy, very professional and pleasure to have in the home. We have had no heating over winter and he's installed a new system and for the first time since moving in we have a warm house! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will be back for yearly service. Thanks Jack and team

ARC is an amazing company to work with. My experience was just great when I decided on purchasing a new kitchen. Jack offered a competitive quote for the installation and ARC has a highly skilled team comprising electricians, plumbers and carpenters working for ARC. The process was smooth. Ken, who has 10+ years installing bespoke kitchens did the lion’s share of the work, including fitting a kitchen floor and tiling. His detailed approach was needed as I live in an old cottage with uneven walls. Before I knew it a whole kitchen was installed. All the workers were respectful, kind, punctual and it was a pleasure to have them around the house. I highly recommend ARC. I had used them in the past to install my bathroom and again they dis not disappoint. Well done and a big thanks. Tom

Jack, Dave and Sam did an excellent combined and quick response with a leak on my Kitchen tap. I'm very happy to continue using them as they did an awesome job on doing the plumbing in my kitchen and bathrooms a few years ago. Well done and Cheers, Chris

Once again, a joy to have Arc work for me. This time Ken, the chippy, fitted internal doors to the highest of standards. Clean, efficient and highly skilled. I cannot fault his great work. Another personable and helpful tradesman from Arc. Love doing business with you.... kitchen next stop !

A proper pub serving good beer in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere - primarily a local's bar but we've been made more than welcome on our trips over for a couple of years now. Can honestly say I can't remember ever leaving without having had a good laugh and chat. It's what pubs are all about (or should be).

Rating: 5 / 5

Great pub for a drink and a game of pool. Dart boards and skittle alley and screens for sports. This alongside a landlord who's friendly and helpful make for a great pub to spend time in.

Rating: 4 / 5

Brilliant course brilliant staff , Absolutely great experience the course is immaculate full credit to green staff and management for what is truly a tip top course , there are normally one or two holes on a course that you think to yourself are a little weak or don’t quite fit right , but not here everyone of the holes are beauty’s get there for a game if you can , played on Monday the 25th of July .

Wonderful golf course in exceptional condition. Played on a sunny Sunday afternoon and felt like only ones on the course! Very friendly welcome from staff and we were well looked after. Thanks very much!

Great course in another 10 years will be even better. Nice clubhouse as well. Some very special holes and a good test

Rating: 5 / 5

Best course I've played at in Dorset. The condition was excellent. The clubhouse is relaxed with great views. Some really memorable and challenging holes, but fair test of golf.

The best lunch experience in the area! Lovely food at a very reasonable price! The Admiral Hood is often very busy (unsurprisingly!!), so make sure you book in advance! Staff are always kind and happy to accommodate any requests. Pleased to be a regular customer!

We recently had an amazing meal out here. The cosy pub setting was relaxing and pleasant to sit in. A great selection of drinks on tap and bottled as well. The service was very good indeed, polite and friendly, our food was served very (but not too) quickly! Three of the six of us had fish and chips, it was the best I have had for a very long time, with lovely light batter and delicate fish. The chips and onion rings are also proper pub standard, we enjoyed this very much! Our grandparents very much enjoyed the senior citizens options - these were a selection of slightly smaller and cheaper meals, but were still a generous amount of food and great value for money. We highly recommend and would return - an amazing choice of mains, specials, sides, desserts and 'small plates' for any occasion!

we stopped in for lunch and found the pub to be a very comfortable location to visit; eat and drink . We only had a sandwich and chips with drinks, but the meals other guests had looked very nice with good portions The staff were very helpful and this is a dog friendly location

Fantastic course lovely greens.made putting so much easier on a true surface

Rating: 5 / 5

Such a lovely golf club, came here to practice our swing (not very experienced golfers). The range is beautiful and you can hit off real grass, a useful experience when you're a beginner. The putting/pitching course is amazing. Visited the gold shop to look around and the service was really friendly, didn't feel out of place. Wish I was good enough to go out on the green, must be amazing.

A good friend and I travelled to play an open competition at Sherborne recently. Not only was the course in good condition, but the staff made us feel very welcome and appreciated. Even the captain made time to introduce himself and make us feel at home. This course will ask questions of anyones game, regardless of ability. If you’re thinking about visiting, then book yourself in, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to all concerned.
