What our customers say about their holidays

  The main picture of the cottage is, in fact, a photo of the owners' cottage.

  Colly cottage is round the back - much less pretty and a very misleading picture. All of the other photos portray innacurately tidy, clean and ordered rooms - in fact, the living room was cluttered with further random pieces of furniture as was the upstairs bedroom. We were fascinated by the TV stand which was full of books and facing the wrong way. The stuff portrayed hanging on the walls has been replaced with tackier hangings. Everything was dusty round the edges and the oven stank of burnt meat juices whenever it was used. The owner, without letting us know, let himself in to adjust the shower while we were out leaving dirt and what I think was glue residue on the floor of the shower. His wife, at one point, simply tapped on the door and walked in with a 'hello.' To drive out of the gate was simply risky as in both directions, it was impossible to see traffic coming - had a couple of near misses with tractors. Worst for us was that it was situated on a working livestock farm, a fact that is not mentioned in the blurb about the cottage and a fact that would have meant we'd not have looked at the cottage as we are vegans.

  We chose Cowdea Cottage for the location and were not disappointed.

  Not only is it in a beautiful part of the world but access to many other places is easy and close by. The cottage is spacious and well equipped, with good wifi and phone access. We found the furnishings a bit dated - not our style - but this was easy to overlook, sitting in the sunroom or the garden, looking across the meadow, hearing the birds. We did not find any walks in the immediate vicinity and the road was busy with locals and farm vehicles, so not easy to walk. But a short drive away in Bettiscombe you could park at the Community Centre and follow the trails. The owners were friendly and helpful and despite living in the adjoining farmhouse, kept their distance and gave us our privacy. A wonderful tranquil and restful spot.

  Colly Cottage is in a lovely location.

  We found the location easily, and parking was not a problem. It is well placed in West Dorset close to Bridport and West Bay. It was clean and well presented. Having a bedroom with en-suite downstairs, was great for my mother, as she finds stairs a bit of a challenge. Sue our host was very friendly, and we loved her two dogs and cat who popped in most days to give us a look. My only gripes were, we found the kitchen area a bit cramped, and the sink in an ackward position. Due to the location most days, internet and mobile phone use is not possible. However, I guess most people would welcome that ? Overall though a really pleasant holiday, in a lovely location.

  None of the below comments would hinder our return, as the location was lovely, the owners very helpful and overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

  However, we do think it is worth sharing out thoughts. Whilst the property is generally clean, there is an abundance of cobwebs (expected in rural location), but some have obviously been there for a very long time. It is also obvious that furniture isn't moved at all when cleaning takes place. The property is over furnished: 1) Many over-sized lamps, occupying tables that are too small for them. 2) Rugs that are a trip hazard, in such a small space. 3) So many cushions, that get in the way. 4) Far too many ornaments, leaving no room for the client to place their own items during their stay.

  Our holiday at Number 1 Cowdea farm Cottage was perfect in every sense.

  From Booking to obtaining arrangements to collecting the key & following the easy directions through the Country Lanes from the owner Mrs Widger we found the cottage with ease. on arrival we entered the cottage we knew we had found a fantastic gem, it was clean, cosy & warm we had found paradise. It ticked all the boxes for us and we will definitely return to our relaxing hideaway. We were greeted by Martin & then Valerie who were the perfect hosts making us feel welcome & safe. Big thanks to them both. We would definitely recommend this cottage. Mr & Mrs Bridges
