  Lovely cute cottage, stayed a week with two adults.

  We felt right at home. Everything you need, and more, is present in the cottage. Loved the area and things we got to do during this week: hiking, trailrunning, visiting nice towns such as Weymouth, West Bay, Bridport, Lyme Regis, visiting Monkey World, shopping in the nice small shops... Showering in the bath tub was totally fine and we slept wonderful in the great beds. We have a small car and thus parking was not a problem at all, but I can imagine with a bigger car and less parking skills, it will feel a bit small to get in. In the cottage we noticed a little "dog smell" coming from the carpet, and a lot of spider webs at the ceilings and in corners (no spiders though ;-)). During our stay we had a power break down, right at the moment our fire alarm got off while cooking. But it appeared it had nothing to do with that: the whole village had no power. Got really nice help from the main office when we phoned. Strangely enough we couldn't get the power working again ourselves (although we tried switching the switches several times during 2 hours), but a really lovely couple of the maintenance crew helped us out. For short: really recomment this cottage!

  Another year, another stay, another review.

  So this is our second visit to this amazing property. So impressed the first time we needed a return. The property is beautiful, inside and out. Lovely welcome pack on arrival and the welcome book has so much information for you if needed. Even extras in it about walking routes, pubs etc. Great touch. Furnished to a high standard, warm, comfortable and everything that is needed is there. The living room is especially comfortable and if it wasn't for wanting to explore the area I could of sat there all day. The kitchen, just as beautiful as the rest of the property and if I could cook! I could of spent a lot of time in there too. Not one thing about this property let's it down and you can tell that the owners really put a lot of effort into keeping it this way. Speaking of which, I have never had such great and helpful communication from any owner of properties, and we have stayed at a lot. Makes it feel so much more welcoming. Another great touch. All of this combined made for another great stay, so much so that 4 days after returning home we have already booked for next year. Thankyou for sharing your home with us again and we look forward to another return.

  Our stay was delayed until 4pm for supposed extra COVID cleaning.

  The reality was the cleaner turned up at 3.10pm as we happened to be outside when she did . Consequently we couldn’t get into the cottage until 4.30 as she hadn’t finished at 4pm . She was obviously rushing as the house was dirty. The grill pan was so disgusting that the wife photographed it . In an effort to clean the cottage ourselves we got the hoover out . The smell from the hoover was terrible. I am not sure when it was last emptied but trust me we had to buy an air freshener after using it . The garden hadn’t been tended to and was untidy. We had the plug in the bathroom sink stuck so I walked to the Heart of the Lakes office to report it as your paperwork said you were open from 10am on a Sunday. The office was locked with no one around. Finally after a phone call someone did promptly turn up and fixed the problem. We have stopped at this property before and on these occasions we were happy but the property is now looking a little tired. The beds are uncomfortable and the carpets particularly the stair one are very dirty.

  A comfortable stay.

  The owners have made the most of the room available at this property. It was well equipped. The only downfall for us was the fact that no shower was available. We would have preferred to see a shower unit rather than a bath but perhaps that would be a little difficult for the owners given the area available. The access was not easy but that was conveyed to us before travelling so we expected that. It was great that the back garden was dog friendly and secure so we could leave the back door open to allow him to venture into the garden with reasonable ease. If we chose not to use the car the local bus service was efficient. There was a pub next door to the property but that shouldn't put people off because it was not at all rowdy. We believe it served lovely meals but unfortunately we were not able to book as it was full at the times that suited us. All in all a nice break and the ability to venture further afield, either by bus or car.

  The cottage was lacking a shower - only having a shower attachment connected to the bath taps.

  There was no curtain to stop splashes, so this meant running a bath for each of us every morning. There is a shared washing machine / dryer with the main cottage. Unfortunately our neighbours totally monopolised this facility including both clothes horses. We had a Jaguar F Pace SUV - it got easier as the week went on to reverse through the narrow gates and there was sufficient room for our and our neighbour's car to be parked side by side at the back of the property. The cottage was immaculately clean and fully stocked with everything you may need from a flashlight to dog treats to cleaning materials. The cottage was in a lovely location - just a 10-15 minute walk down to the Lulworth Cove. It was handy having a pub next door, although we were not impressed with their limited menu. Both cottages have their own enclosed back garden which was handy for our little dog to safely explore.
