  The Coach House is beautiful, peaceful and very comfortable and well appointed. The kitchen and bathrooms have high quality fittings and are well laid out. The showers are great and there’s a jacuzzi bath. There’s lots of storage space in the bedrooms, with lovely fitted wardrobes and built in drawers. The beds are comfortable and it was nice to have lighter summer weight duvets with throws for extra warmth if needed. The curtains and other soft furnishings are beautiful. Outside, the patio has sun on it in the morning and evening, so is a lovely place to sit, with gorgeous views over the countryside. It is dog-friendly, fully enclosed, so safe for our inquisitive young spaniel! The house is only a few minutes drive from the main road along the coast, so really easy to get to places. The village is small, with one pub, the Spyway Inn. It is about 10-15 minutes walk across the village. The owners are friendly and welcoming and the food is very good. Would recommend. It is closed on Monday and Tuesday. There are a couple of pubs in nearby Burton Bradstock - the food at the Anchor Inn was also good. Hive beach is worth a visit, and has a great beach cafe. Dogs can be taken on parts of the beach, so good for walking. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Coach House and would highly recommend it as a base to see a lovely part of the country!

  The Magnolias is a real gem of a find, right in the heart of the lovely village of Burton Bradstock on the Jurassic Coast. The property has been lovingly restored and has 3 good-sized bedrooms (one en-suite), a family bathroom (with a a great shower), a fine lounge and separate dining room. You'll find yourself spending most of your time in the kitchen though, with its fabulous Aga that heats the whole house. All equipment and furnishings are of a very high standard from the duvets to the utensils - a lot of thought has gone into this. The garden is large and enclosed and was perfect for us and our Labrador to roam around. The parking space was a real bonus in this popular village. The owner got in touch while we there and she was very keen to ensure we had the perfect time. The beach is a 10-15 minute walk away and the cafe there is definitely worth a visit just for the fish & chips alone. The two pubs in the village are great and both very welcoming. Modbury Farm shop nearby does some really good cheeses and other local foods. The market in Bridport on Wednesdays and Saturdays is well worth a visit. We have stayed in this area a number of times over the years and The Magnolias is the best property we have found - would love to return there one day.

  Enjoyed a wonderful holiday in the Stables, Burton Branstock and would love to return.

  The owner was very helpful advising us that we could check in to the cottage early and was able to give us advice on the local pubs and best walking routes to the adjacent beaches. The welcome pack of wine, flowers and biscuits were very much appreciated. The cottage was spacious and well equipped with top of the range appliances and the two bathrooms and extra toilet were handy with six guests. The location in the village was extremely convenient for the two local pubs and shops as they were only minutes away However, there were a few things that I think could improve the cottage. There was no artwork on the walls and things like books and games in the lounge leaving the ambience somewhat sterile. There were no door stops leading to the some of the walls being damaged. Clothes hooks on the back of the bathroom doors would have been handy as would waste paper bins in the bedrooms. But apart from these few things the Stables is definitely the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

  Broadstones is set in a rural area alongside a crossroads /country lanes.

  Be prepared for narrow lanes with passing places (also potholes and ruts) when heading out in either direction. The cottage is well cared for and comfortable, without being luxurious. The added space offered by the sunny conservatory is a real bonus and the enclosed garden is a big plus point too. The owners live nearby and are very experienced in holiday letting. The kitchen with dining area is on the small side but has the main equipment you'd need for preparing meals. However, we did find it strange that there was nothing in the way of simple storecupboard items such as salt and pepper, cooking oil, coffee or tea. The bathroom is modern and the large shower has good pressure. If future holidaymakers prefer a nice big bath sheet, we'd advise them to take their own as the bath towels provided are not all that big. Overall, we had a good week and were lucky with the weather too.

  Ive had a beautiful break with my family thanks to Sykes’s cottages for finding me the perfect break!

  The lady who helped me find the cottage was very nice and helpful and found me exactly what i was looking for! Im usually very fussy picking the right cottage or location and with the help of Sykes cottage i found this amazing Gem of a cottage right at the last minute a day before i went to my destination i booked this cottage and even though it was very last minute i managed to get something i really liked! The cottage was absolutely immaculately presented, a new build so no faults to find, based on the perfect location just about 10 minutes walk to the beach which was absolutely stunning! it was like being in a foreign country- truly beautiful! the Owner Peter and Pauline were also very friendly and helpful. This is the 3rd time i booked with sykes cottages and it certainly wouldn’t be the last! definitely would recommend :)
