  Nice spacious accommodation in a peaceful, quiet area with parking.

  Situated so can drive to areas such as Weymouth, Dorchester etc and also walks only really accessible by car. Beds were comfortable and had nice quality linen. The property was well hoovered and tidy but there were a few areas of cleaning which were missed such as sticky tables and placemats. A pint of milk was provided with a packet of biscuits. Had problems with communication firstly with Sykes Cottages - called them with a couple of queries prior to our stay via phone, online chat and then WhatsApp and took 6 days to get a response. Also had no contact with the owner of the cottage during our stay which was a shame. I could not find a hairdryer and wanted to know if I had missed seeing its location as I had thought this would be a standard item to be provided and have never had to take one with me before. I contacted the owner regarding this query and got no response. I then tried contacting the caretaker via whatsapp, text and phone to see if I could get an answer that way and only had a missed call from the caretaker at 3am! A pleasant stay but because of these disappointing elements of the trip and poor communication we would not visit again or use Sykes Cottages.

  We met James the farmer and property owner, he popped over to make a point of welcoming us and saying "Hello.

  " Such a nice man, very pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful. On our first day we had a problem with the water heater and complained to the agent who then arranged with James to come over from his house to check the water heating system. He found it to be a slight problem with the trip switch, which has occured before, apparently. He showed us what to do if the problem reoccoured but fortunately it didn't. There were seven members of our family staying in the property for the week and we found the accomodation to be very adequate, warm and cosey.This included a board game we hadn't seen before and we enjoyed playing. Although a working farm it was a very quiet location and we were never disturbed or put out by the farming activities. The expansive wide open views from the cottage across the valley were lovely and we enjoyed walking the country lanes in the valley. It was unfortunate that, although there were several across-field footpaths, the County Council clearly had little interest in maintaining access points which starkly contrasted with the easy public footpath access we are used to in the northern part of England we come from.

  A really roomy and well equipped property - very much a luxury feel. It's remote - very quiet and down a long narrow road (with reversing needed at times back to passing points - although this was only needed once in our case - and also up a slope into the drive to park). Lovely night skies visible and just moments from the beach. Not a swimming beach - there's one of those 20 minutes drive away, but spectacular sea views from the kitchen, dining and living areas and the main two bedrooms. You can see all the way down Chesil beach and the light on it changes throughout the day. You can walk 25 minutes along the coast path to two good restaurants in the next village - itself a great walk (and you can come back along the top of the hill). Abbotsbury itself is also walkable (around 35 mins), as are the sub-tropical gardens which are well worth a visit. it's a fantastic property and although it sits in with other properties close by, you really don't notice them at all - it was detached and very quiet. We'd certainly go again.

  Hi I do not normally leave reviews however you sent an email asking for feedback.

  If I were to rate the holiday for your initial service before our holiday and location of the cottage it would be 4 or 5 stars however the cottage its self has a few issues. I was fully expecting a small dated cottage you can see that from the pictures. Unfortunately I would only give the cottage 2 stars. Its location is excellent but it was let down by some maintenance and cleaning issues, listed below. Front door lock very difficult to lock on leaving the cottage. Cracked peeling plaster by front door. Poorly fitting bath panel. Steps to patio area uneven heights, patio area its self in poor repair. But the worst of all was the lean too conservatory which looked like it had not been cleaned in months if not years. I will email photos if required. We loved our visit to Weymouth and are thinking of returning later this year, however we will not be booking this cottage again.
