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.

  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.

  Apartment was in a ideal location in southsea, lots of local amenities.

  First impressions were not great due to the communial entrance to the flats, but once inside the apartment it very nicely furnished with everything you would need and more, although certain aspects of the decoration make it look DIY. We never heard any noise from the other flats which was a concern but never any problems Garage was a great bonus and my car fitted fine although a modern larger car would be tight ( it's a standard size single garage) We couldn't get WiFi to work but didn't need it so didn't contact the owners so maybe our fault The Virgin TV was a bonus to have so much choice if you wanted to watch TV. We would stay stay again if in Southsea

  This property was ideally situated for everything.

  It was 15 mins from the beach, 4/5 mins from bus stops and 5/10 mins from the nightlife. The property itself is spacious and has plenty of room for 2 people. I only marked it down slightly because there were cobwebs on the bedroom walls and the settee needs updating (really not comfy for 2 50+ adults), and maybe a couple more bath towels could be left out for people staying for a week. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed linen clean and fresh and I don't think I have ever seen such shiny floors. And considering we were on the ground floor, we hardly heard the other residents. If we were that way again, I would definitely be looking at staying in apartment 2.

  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.
