  Cajun Cottage is amazing.

  Spotlessly clean, a good size and within crawling distance of the local hostelries, where we ate every day, twice a day. The walks in the area are many and varied, so you can can choose to suit your abilities. One fairly easy walk that we loved was from Ringstead to Osmington Mills where, the very picturesque Smuggler's Inn is situated for a great choice of food/drinks before heading back again. This walk combines woodland and cliff with stunning views. Also, I've never seen so many butterflies as were along that 2 mile walk. They were amazing! We also walked the more difficult route to Durdle Door and later in the day took a Rib ride to see it from the sea. That was great too. Lulworth is such a lovely place to unwind and recharge your batteries. We've now been there about 4 times and will definitely return, hopefully back to Cajun Cottage as that's the best accommodation we've had so far and doubt we could find better. Tyneham is also well worth a visit and has a nice flat walk to the coast.

  Always a pleasure to come and stay at Cajun.

  Cottage. 4th time. Perfect situation for a short stay. My niggle was the heating. It's had been very wet and rainy and we needed to dry out and feel warmer. The heating thermostat booster didn't work and in order to get the heating on we had to turn the dial up to 25.. even though the cottage felt cold. I left a note for the caretaker to reset the heating times and take off any pre set times they locked on. Perhaps a new thermostat. The bins hadn't been emptied for some time. We put our 1 bag in and hauled the black bin to the front of the cottage before we left. The other bins also needed to be emptied. Basic stuff really.. Because the heating wasn't coming on properly we had to use the log fire And bought our own logs. The chimney might need a brush as the fire was quite Smokey with back draft. That may have been the awful weather. Recommendation.. A little light weight vacumme would be useful.

  Pro's: 2, Heath Cottages is a lovely house in a fabulous spot, perfect for dog owners as the Heath, with miles of walks, is just through a gate in the back garden.

  Facilities excellent for 6 and would be fine for 8: 4 en suite bedrooms with comfortable beds, a big table in the conservatory, deep squishy armchairs and sofas in the sitting room. The kitchen is well equipped with large appliances: cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The whole area is packed with things to do: we recommend Kingston Lacy and Brownsea Island, both NT. For a super lunch, The Barn Café at Lytchett Matravers is unbeatable. Con's: the large appliances in the kitchen are excellent: not so the crockery and cutlery. The crockery is a random selection and on the skimpy side with very few complete sets of anything. The cutlery is old, battered and unhygienic, being the sort with separate handles attached by a wobbly and unsatisfactory joint. When almost everything else at 2, Heath Cottages is of such a high standard, it really lets the place down to have such poor quality cutlery.

  Fantastic venue, the property was just what needed, size, location as we were coming from different locations, families wanted to be together but also part of the larger family group.

  The Kitchen is really the hub of the house which suited us so well. All bedrooms and linen were clean and had everything you need. We would have liked to have had more control over the heating as at times it got cold has the heating was off from early afternoon through to early evening, we had two elderly with us, so they felt the cold more. We did contact the Housekeeper on the Saturday and she immediately turned up the heating for us from her App, it would just be nice to have more control yourself as the house was then again very hot overnight, its seems the timing needs a little adjustment. For one of the bedrooms upstairs you need to walk through another to get to the bathroom or to go downstairs, this could be an issue for friends staying. It wasn't particularly for us but we felt it should be mentioned in the property details. Otherwise a perfect long weekend for our family stay, thank you

  The cottage is situated in a beautiful location and was clean on our arrival.

  We contacted the house keeper as wasn't sure if the log basket had been refilled as only 4 small logs, a few off cuts from tree branches and kindling - there was no matches or ignition lighter. We were told that yes it had been refilled and that was all that was left out for her to put in the basket. We found this quite unacceptable having to purchase our first batch logs, which in theory we had already paid for. She explained that she has no idea what is left until she arrives at the cottage and can't find replacements! There was no cleaning products for the toilets or bathroom only one hard surface spray in the kitchen and one cloth. Considering the cost of the cottage and the fact the owners request it is left clean on departure you would have thought they'd be available. We did ask her to pass our message on to the owner - she replied "I will do that." We heard nothing back.
