  Absolutely filthy.

  The only clean thing in the kitchen was the dishwasher. We had to hoover when we got there and went to mop the floor but the mop was so disgusting we went to the supermarket to buy a new one. I had bought home cooked frozen meals for my 1 year old and when I went to put them in the freezer I was horrified as the freezer had so much ice which had hairs and other debris in. The mattress was disgusting and covered in stains. The bathroom was not suitable to bath a small child as we could only use one side due to the bath screen being siliconed to the bath. The water pressure was also shockingly awful. The remote for the tv was absolutely covered in goodness knows what so had to scrub the thing as was worried if my daughter touched it. The sofa was extremely uncomfortable. There are no facilities. Yes can wash clothes in the dingy outhouse. The ‘garden’ is totally uneven with a huge drop and completely overgrown so would have been extremely dangerous to take our 1 year old. Honestly the worst place I’ve ever stayed. We couldn’t cancel or try to get money back as was such a busy weekend there was no where to go so would have had to if driven home. We did leave early as it was raining all day on the second to last day and nothing to do at the cottage so had no choice but to leave

  This is our second stay at Castle Cove Cottage Pros : The location is absolutely beautiful and we made good use of the beach on the few sunny days we had .

  The cottage was clean and well equipped with plenty of towels . There is a Coop just 5 minutes walk ( uphill ) which has everything you need so no need to bring loads of supplies unless you want to . Cons : There were a few niggles from our first stay which had been resolved , but a couple still remained ie: The master bedroom curtain does not block out any light - I woke up at sunrise every morning which was around 04:30 during our stay . A blackout curtain and blind are definitely needed. Secondly the en-suite shower is tiny and its door folds open inwards - my husband struggled to get in it , and it’s impossible to turn on the water without saturating your arm. The cushions for the outside furniture are grubby- we knew this from last year so brought our own throws. The washing machine wasn’t working during our stay which we discovered after removing a sopping wet load from it which then took days to dry. We did report this , it wasn’t resolved during our stay but in fairness we did say it wasn’t the be all and end all and no urgency. The hob in the kitchen could do with instructions to switch it on - we worked it out eventually but it was a good half hour of trial and error. All in all we had a lovely week and with a couple of tweaks it would’ve been perfect.

  Blueberry cottage is very nice, well maintained and modern, warm, good facilities, enjoyable place to stay.

  The location, almost equidistant between Weymouth and Dorchester and in a quiet village is excellent. On the downside, car parking is a problem. There is no designated parking spot for the cottage and the locals are extremely possessive of any spaces going, including in front of the cottage itself. We parked as far as 200 yards away opposite the village pub. A minor problem concerns the loo which is on the ground floor off the kitchen. Navigating steep stairs from the bedroom in the night to visit the loo is not ideal. Almost reminds me of early years, at least this loo is inside! On a wider issue, why do Sykes insist on Friday to Friday lettings? Friday is the worst day of the week for road travel. Arriving on holiday in an unfamiliar place fraught from Friday travel is not the best start to a holiday. We use other holiday cottage agencies who are happy with Saturday to Saturday lettings and I'm afraid whilst Sykes continue with this Friday to Friday situation, we shall prioritise those other agencies for cottage bookings.

  The cottages was very pleasant, clean and comfortable.

  The only thing we would say negatively is the outside seating needs to be addressed as the chairs had no cushions and were most uncomfortable without. The only other downside is the parking, we could not park outside of the cottage at all as the cars that were parked there when we arrived on the Friday evening didn't move all week, we therefore parked outside of the pub but when it is high season and busy that may prove very difficult to do. Other than these two little niggles we had a lovely week and enjoyed the cottage very much. The best places to eat are The Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mills and the Seven Stars at Moreton both of these are so much better than the pub in the village both food and atmosphere also The Crown Inn at Stickland does a really good Sunday roast.

  We stayed at Day Cottage for a girls weekend away.

  We drove there and parked on a residential street, about 7 mins walk away - for free. Then for the rest of the weekend we walked everywhere. The beach is a few minutes walk away and the town centre about 10-15 minutes. We felt very cosy in the house, and had all we needed. We had 4 adults and found the beds comfortable and cosy. The lounge is really nice to sit in and have after dinner drinks. And the courtyard is a perfect place to sit on an evening - weather permitting. Weymouth itself is a classic and charming British seaside town, the beach is great and would be great with kids(will be returning with them). Would recommend day cottage and Weymouth and hope to return.
