  We stayed at Dormouse cottage during the Feb half term.

  Here are our comments: Good points: Able to get into the property easily, and actually got an email the day before saying it had already been cleaned so we could arrive whatever time we wanted. Beds all very clean and comfy, we all slept brilliantly Cute, traditional cottage, with many features you would expect (this properly has steep stairs and low beams as you would expect a cottage to have) Bathroom clean with a brand new seal on shower screen, so no leaks when using the shower Fully enclosed rear garden to let our dog out into, this was great Good TV that worked well, and really good wifi even with multiple devices connected Microwave, fridge, cooker and other kitchen appliances all clean and worked fine. Warm and easy to heat to the temperature you want Arrived to a bottle of wine, tea and coffee making things and pre packeted biscuits waiting for us, this was a lovely touch! Not so good points: Other than the basics you would expect some areas of the cottage needed a good clean. I think this isn’t helped by all the decorative items around the cottage. I went prepared and wiped round with detox wipes. The sofa wasn’t great and was covered in dog hair. We spent about 20 minutes hoovering this. It did have a lot of scatter cushions and blankets on it so we removed these and didn’t put them back on then gave it a good hoover. The front door was quite stiff and needed a good pull / push to make sure it was shut properly. Others have commented on the noise from the windows, we didn’t really notice this too much and it definitely wasn’t an issue for us. Overall we had a great stay. It was comfy, we slept well and could easily sort food etc. The location is also great with plenty of things to do in and around the village. Plus our 7 year old son also really enjoyed it and slept well. Since returning the owner of the cottage contacted us for feedback and was genuinely interested in what we had to say and how he can make improvements. Again, Another great touch! Thanks for a lovely stay, we are booking for a return visit later in the year!

  Very disappointing and dirty cottage.

  It needs a huge amount of work done to it - painting, new windows etc… Generally in need of a thorough deep clean. There were cobwebs everywhere, the house smelled awful when we arrived but realised this is because of the hoover - which stank to high heaven when you used it. The carpet is filthy and stained. Windows looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for over 6 months. Some windows are rotten. The towels were stained with yellow marks. Behind the bed was disgusting! It’s not at all like the photos on Sykes or Dream Cottages website- the sofa is grey and grubby - not cream, the table is too big for the cottage and not white. It is very poorly stocked - the only saving grace was that we ate out every night. There were no cleaning products apart from washing up liquid and multi surface cleaner - so had to use that to clean the bathroom and mop the floor before we left. Don’t know why we were provided with dishwasher tablets as there’s no dishwasher and I certainly wouldn’t wash my clothes with dishwasher tablets. Also situated on a very busy, noisy road - don’t think that you will enjoy a peaceful breakfast outside as trucks and cats rush past! A very overpriced and underwhelming cottage. We contacted Sykes about a few things and they did offer to get a cleaner in on the Thursday - we said it wasn’t worth it but hoped that the cottage would be cleaned properly for the next guests. They also provided us with a clothes airer (as we’d had to drape washing over shower screens, radiators etc…) and a new cafetière on the Thursday. I do feel they need to update their photos and description of the property as it is definitely NOT the way it appears on their site. However, Burton Bradstock is a beautiful village with fabulous walks and places to eat - just don’t stay in this cottage!

  Apartment 7 was perfect for our week long holiday with our dog and 9 and 15 year old children.

  It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay, Full kitchen ( Neff appliances, washer, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, iron , clothes airer , WiFi, TV In living room and main bedroom all at a very good holiday let quality. The beds and bedding we found very comfortable and although we had neighbours above us and either side of us as its the summer holidays, we would never have known as didn't hear anything from them through the walls at all ! The location of this Apartment couldn't be more central as everything is within a 5 minute walk. The only slight negative is the view from the lounge window / door. You look at the carpark (but aleast you view your car too) and the back of other apartments, A sea view would've been the icing on the cake , but it's a small price to pay for a perfect little, well decorated holiday let. Westbay is quiet at nightime (apart from the Gulls) with little entertainment except a couple of family pubs / restaurants but that can be a bonus as it felt unbelievably safe to walk around at anytime . Because of Covid we couldn't go on the holiday park to swim or buy passes for the amenities but it didn't matter after all, Plenty of beaches and walks and crabbing to keep occupied. We will definitely visit this let again as a little home from home !

  I am disabled and realise that I need to be very careful when selecting a property for holiday.

  I therefore used your specially prepared list of properties that met my needs. My search only revieled one concern, that was the entry door, so I rang Sykes who contacted the owner who said there was no problem. They were wrong and it caused me a daily access problem. However my major problem was the two bedrooms, neither of which was accessible via scooter . Both bedrooms had furniture fitted making access impossible. After much soul searching I needed to remove the footplate from my wheelchair to provide space at floor, then drive to end of the single bed, then carefully lower myself onto the bed. Then I needed to slowly work myself up the bed till I reached the pillows, when my wife would lower the duvet onto me. Getting up in the morning was even more problematic. So in summary this apartment should not have been listed in the ‘disabled’ section and proved to be totally unsuitable for myself, which spoilt my enjoyment totally.

  Stunning little cottage.

  Absolutely loved our stay here and would recommend it to anybody. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Super cosy and the garden is great bonus, perfect for sunbathing and watching the birds. Some lovely walks right on the doorstep; Thorncombe beacon (can be seen from the garden) is short, steep but very rewarding, amazing views! Also had a few days walking to westbay, then carried on along beneath the cliff. Plenty of really good eating and drinking places locally. Rise for breakfast and the Watchhouse for amazing seafood both in Westbay. Lyme bay and the Pilot in Lyme Regis were also lovely for lunches. Felicity's farm shop has some great local produce to enjoy back at the cottage. Luckily only had one day of rain, which was spent having a nose around Bridport (markets on Wednesday and Saturday). Thank you for our stay, we look forward to coming back some time in the future
