What our customers say about their holidays

  We were the first couple to actually holiday this season so would have expected everything to be perfect.

  The TV did not work and was stuck on “Dave”. A text to Annabel resulted in a quick response but without any success. A new remote was waiting for us when we returned next day. The kitchen utensils were lacking a few items particularly because the coronavirus resulted in more home cooking. We asked for a meat dish and the next day there were two large aluminium roasters left by Annabel. One of the bedside lights did not work and the handle on the bathroom door was loose. We did not raise these as an issue but left a note along with a new meat dish. We found 3 grasshoppers in the accommodation including one in the wardrobe. Also, we had to deal with a number of spiders. Please be aware that where ever you move in the accommodation there is steps to encounter, which have steep risers. They were a little difficult for us but for the agile they will not be a problem. Despite the above we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location made it easy to visit the many attractions in Dorset.

  The accommodation has not followed strict cleaning guidelines during COVID-19.

  Some of the utensils and equipment were still dirty so we had to wash a lot The furniture was not moved to clean behind the sofa as we found old sweet bags. Photos taken. This concerned us just how clean was the cottage which made us uneasy. None of the internal doors actually shut. The mechanism on the bathroom was loose and if there had been a deep clean surely they would’ve noticed and fixed. Again made us question the cleaning. The bedroom door didn’t click shut either. I did message the owner on the sat am but no action taken. Shame there was no hair dryer in the property. We were told to ensure all dogs toilet was bagged which we did but others staying there may not have decided to follow this rule which was not pleasant. Nicest touch was eggs they left for us. Disappointed to have paid £307 and to have had the above.

  1st impressions count, on arrival, the first thing you see is the front door is dirty, open the door and note the rubber seal is hanging off, the kitchen area is adequate but the sink was stinking & the tea towels provided were not fit as floor clothes never mind tea towels, around the entire property skirting boards filthy rotten & in some places hanging off, carpet disgusting in the bedroom, the different levels in the property are just aggravating, didn't enjoy our stay here at all, also the property is far from anywhere & it's a 15-minute drive before the main road

  The cottage was well decorated and clean, but a few issues for us was the bed was very firm, we needed to put the duvet on the mattress to sleep,none of the chairs were comfortable, and you had to keep stepping up and down to move from the kitchen to the lounge to the bedroom no good for older people,more for a younger couple, saying that a nice place,quiet and good for walkes

  Great cottage!

  Perfect size for 2 people and a large dog. We had a lovely stay here. The owners are very friendly and we were greeted with freshly laid eggs! There’s a large field to walk and exercise your dog in i which was very useful as our dog hurt his paws on a walk the very first day so couldn’t walk far. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
