What our customers say about their holidays
Kelly - Verified booking
We were exceptionally fortunate with the weather.
Wall to wall sunshine every day so it couldn't have been better in that respect and I think really made our week. The pool was warm as reviews had suggested and we all made great use of it each day. It really was a blessing in the heat! However, the cleaning of it twice per week we didn't feel was enough as the bottom of the pool was a bit grubby. Maybe something to consider. Upon arrival we noticed the house looked a bit tired which in some ways with kids is better than pristine, however, some honest feedback is that it wasn't clean either. The windowsills were dusty as were the skirting boards, they clearly hadn't been cleaned for some time. The windows were well overdue a good clean. Attention to this kind of detail is important. The walls in some bedrooms could do with a repaint. The shower in the bathroom is very small and the shower in the shower room had some mould. Pretty easy fix to sort the latter The dishwasher tray at the bottom is broken and I did notify the owner. The kitchen tap was also constantly running. A plumber did come on our last day so all good for the next people, however, communication about this when we arrived would have been good. We had an ant nest in our room, or at least outside, and they all came in through the windowsill cracks and were on the floor and in our bed! The owner was very apologetic and did come to sort that asap, as well as sending a new peeler as the one we had broke. We did really enjoy our stay and the cottage is in a beautiful location, but it does need a bit of work in our opinion and hopefully this will be addressed Andrew, the farmer who owns the cottage took us up to the dairy farm and that was a lovely visit for the kids. He was a really lovely person who clearly runs a very ethical dairy farm and cares about the animals which was reassuring to see. With a bit of work this really is a perfect place for a family holiday.

Beach Haven is a very pleasent bungalow with nice decor.
I particularly liked the way the lounge had been arranged and the sofas and chairs were really comfortable (not at all saggy as with some holiday rentals). All the information for operating the equipment/ cooker etc was neatly filed and the kitchen was modern and very well equiped. The garden had lovely sea views with good quality garden furniture (even cushions for the chairs were provided). The beds in the two main bedrooms were very comfortable and these rooms were light and airy, however I thought the twin bedroom was the poor relation. Although the mattresses were good quality the wooden frames rather creaked. The dark old fashioned furniture seemed out of keeping with the other bedrooms and made the room seem a bit cramped (just my opinion of course). Although we didn't use the children's room it looked very bright and cheery and the bunk beds looked very sturdy. The restaurant opposite was fantastic and we ate there several times. Unfortunately the beach wasn't really suitable for us (we are all retired) as the shingle was quite diificult to walk along. It is very popular with anglers and as such we were warned by the locals to be careful with our dog of discarded fish hooks and also that there are adders about where the shingle meets the grass etc. so again be wary if you have a walk with your dog. To sum up overall we thought the owners had made a real effort to offer well thought out comfortable accomodation.

Having coincided our stay with the coldest weather for quite a few years I was concerned about whether the cottage would be cold.
After contact with the owner Vicky I was assured it would be lovely and warm, and indeed it was. Every contact I had with Vicky was very promptly responded to and extremely helpful. Dewlish is a lovely peaceful area and well placed for access to the coast and countryside. Churn House is part of a working farm and all around is farming area so there are a lot of tractors moving around (especially the treat of seeing the Christmas decorated, lit up and horn sounding tractor parade coming past the kitchen window). My bed was very comfortable and with all bedrooms facing the mini garden and shared pool one didn't get disturbed by any traffic driving past.Being a family of tall people we did find the shower cubicles rather tiny but bathrooms were impeccably clean. We had an issue with the dishwasher not working and Vicky was amazing in trying it herself and then getting it replaced immediately by a spare one they had and so apologetic. The only place a dishwasher is moved about by JCB I'm sure which tickled us. There was another problem with the microwave which couldn't be sorted out - and more sincere apologies - we could cope without so it didn't matter. We all loved Churn House and the area - and the Booth family. The pub (The Oak at Dewlish) is a must - ony 150 yards from the property, very friendly and very good pub food. Thank you Vicky, Josh and family.

We really enjoyed our holiday to Churn House.
The house itself was lovely and plenty big enough for us all (8adults, 2 babies & 2 Dogs). We loved the games room and the heated pool and as we visited in October it was a nice surprise that the pool was still warm enough to use. We were there for the last week the pool is heated/used and we noticed the pool cleaner still visited. There were a few animals which we enjoyed visiting in a morning with our little one who absolutely loved the Donkeys. The owners/staff that we met were all very friendly and happy to help. There were a couple of boxes of biscuits waiting for us when we arrived with some tea, coffee and milk which went down perfect while we waited for our food shop to arrive. The WiFi worked perfectly. The location of the house was also brilliant. It is located in a quiet village so it was very peaceful but it was only a 50minute drive to Bournemouth and about 40 minutes to Weymouth. The local convenience store was a 10minute drive away and the local town was about 20minutes away so we had plenty to do. We would definitely recommend visiting. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

We have nothing but good to say about our stay in The Town House.
When we arrived we were very pleased to receive the welcome hamper - a lovely little touch - and to see what a lovely, clean and spacious house it was. The light in one of the bathrooms wasn't working but after a quick email the maintenance man came and fixed it before we had even gone out which we were very impressed with. The house was spotless when we arrived and there was everything we could possibly need for our comfort. Older guests might prefer the downstairs bedroom as there are a lot of stairs to the en suite at the very top. Car parking was fine, one car behind the other, and we made sure we reversed into them at the end of the day to make exit easier as the main car park was usually quite busy. No problem though - just very good to have the two spaces. Very easy to get to the shops and restaurants in Dorchester and a very good base to see the Jurassic coast. We would highly recommend The Town House as the owners had put so much effort into making their guests comfortable and we had a wonderful stay there with our family. Thank you so much.
