  The cottage is in a lovely location on a private estate.

  We liked the ability to open the windows to allow air into the property, plus the blinds to cover the windows helped to reduce light during the early hours of the morning. The binder with instructions on the various devices was very useful. Kitchen worked as it should but it could do with a large frying pan. The shower was overall good but we found that the boiler would lose pressure every few days so we just increased the pressure for a couple of seconds until the needle got to the recommended mark and the shower would then contintue to run warm/hot. The shower head is a little stiff but that's more down to the hard water so if someone has tried to adjust the jet then it might not lock in place and hence water shoots through the top and wets the bathroom, fan in bathroom wasn't working but not an issue. Main double bed is on the firm side which initially isn't ab issue but on the last two nights we started to feel it so might be an issue for some. The bunk room is only suitable for primary aged children which wasn't an issue for us though. The chill out room is great for kids to play, stairs are a little steep and exposed at the top but a toy box covered that part and wasnt an issue but others would need to be aware if they have smaller children. Cottage generally clean, just a few cob webs in bathroom corners but otherwise clean duvets are showing their age and could do with replacing. The small front garden isn't enclosed but that's stated on the site but gets the sun during the day which is good. Overall good and we enjoyed our stay.

  Lovely location and very nice cottage.

  We enjoyed the walks around the estate and the welcome pack was a nice touch. Excellent shower and playroom area for children plus lots of games which was a very thoughtful touch and much appreciated by our 7 year old! The only issue we had was heat - it was a chilly February weekend and despite extra fan heaters, it was really cold at night. No extra blankets provided and an extremely thin duvet for a winters holiday. The bed was very uncomfortable and we woke rather exhausted instead of rested. As we don’t get much chance to get away, it was a bit of a disappointment. Am sure the cottage is stunning in the summer months and a real treasure.

  The property is in a lovely setting and it was nice exploring around the area.

  It is a really nice layout and the kids enjoyed the play room upstairs. It was dog friendly with lots of walks on the doorstep. Close to Lyme Regis for the beach and further exploring. We had a couple of problems during our stay - the shower head needs replacing as it is broken, water was pouring out in all directions. The boiler kept loosing pressure which left us with no hot water a few times, that's quite tricky when the kids have been down to the beach and need to get clean. We also couldn't find the blue bin for recycling, all the neighbours appear to have them but we could only find a red topped bin for general waste.

  The property was very good and we had a good time but we felt it to be very well used and in need of some limited TLC.

  The mattresses wasn’t comfortable and the pillows were flat and lifeless. Some of the kitchen utensils weren’t good - for instance the can opener was worn out and wouldn’t open a can. The tumblers had white marks on them. There was some black mold in the shower which would be easy to remove with mold killer but not normal cleaners, so no excuse for this. Small things maybe but it did detract from the initial wow factor on entering the property. We also found dog hairs on our clothes which was pretty gross. We like dogs but we don’t want to be getting other people dogs hairs on us when renting a property.

  The estate was a great unique location.

  Cleaning standards was very low. Recommend all cleaning equipment is stored out of sight not in the main room. Dishwasher was broken on arrival but repaired after 2 days for a 3 day stay. Too much utensils and crockery mix and match recommend replace with a smaller set to maintain cleanliness. Sofa needs replacing (sofa bed). Fruit Shoot pot found behind cushions and dirt behind furniture when moved. Bathroom radiator dirty/rusty. Found this all disappointing considering extra the time needed by the holiday provider to clean a cottage post COVID.
