What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was clean and is well situated for trips out.

  Wareham is an ideal spot for many reasons. I would have reservations in returning for the following reasons _ Parking in the church car park was troublesome. We were approached by 2 people from the congregation (1 was the vicar) who made it clear that the parking situation is not agreed. Clearly they couldn't stop us parking there but it's obvious the arrangement is not amicable. It is not possible to park outside the property and the only other alternative is to street park in the town which is nearby. As a person renting a property and following instructions on where to park I do not expect to have to be met by confrontation and questions. We are very reasonable people but I should imagine this could cause some nastiness if the wrong person was approached. It is something that needs resolving so that customers do not have to deal with it. The photographs of the property show a lovely garden area to sit in. In reality this is not easily accessible and the back garden which is more accessible needs some TLC. I do think too that the gate to the property would benefit from some type of internal lock from a security point of view. Other than that, while the property was clean it felt like it needed an airing and a bit of maintenance (a couple of radiators didn't work and some rooms smelt a little foisty - nothing that letting a little air in wouldn't solve). Despite these little niggles, this is a lovely property in a great little town and close to everything you would possibly need to travel to.

  We had an amazing stay in Figtree Cottage - our stay exceeded our expectations and we hope to return again next year. The cottage has everything you could need and more. So many thoughtful details have been added, including night sensor lights, comfortable garden furniture, cosy blankets and fluffy cushions, lots of kitchen equipment and puzzles, books and games. The cottage was stylishly decorated with a high quality finish - we loved the flooring, underfloor heating, Roman blinds and comfy reading chair. The garden was a lovely space to relax in with lots of greenery, birds, lovely views and the sound of the steam trains. Plenty of parking on the drive and a great location in the village. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

  Wash basin hot tap loose.

  Toilet very slow to fill. Boiler very noisy had to shut doors when it was running on the evening. Patio door was hard to open & close, difficulty in locking & unlocking. All windows were very dirty on outside, had obviously not been done all winter, plus some double glazed units had blown. In the evening,the TV would switch itself off in the middle of the program we were watching. The duvet on the double bed was far too thick so we had trouble sleeping..an all seasons duvet would have been better so we could choose the warmth level. It was ideally located for lovely dog walks. We had a lovely meal in the pub which was walking distance. The area was really quiet, no traffic noise, dogs barking etc etc .

  Although we decided at the last minute, to kennel our dog, instead of bringing him with us, we were very pleased at how nice the accommodation was, given that it permits dogs.

  The location was good, and we couldn't believe how quiet it was. The proximity of the MOD range wasn't a problem either, though they did do evening manoeuvres on one occasion, but it was no problem at all. Only a couple of niggles - (1) I don't think previous guests had flagged up that the cafetiere plunger was broken and (2) we felt unsafe standing to take a shower, without a non slip bath mat. Consequently, we popped into a discount store in Weymouth and sourced our own items. However, that would in no way be a deal breaker, in returning to the property. We would be very happy to stay here again, and look forward to visiting the property on another occasion.

  Had a lovely stay and really enjoyed Wareham and the local areas.

  The house was very well situated for anyone wanting to visit the Dorset coast and countryside. Was immaculate throughout and very comfortable for the 4 of us - our only frustrations were around no oven gloves or anything else to manage hot dishes in the oven and the parking situation when we first arrived on the Saturday. Although we had been made aware that the Church car park would not be available after 5pm we arrived to find out it was not available until after 7:30pm which caused issues in unloading, that said it would not stop us from booking again.
