  We were very disappointed with Sunny Croft.

  Although the surfaces had been cleaned and wiped down there were cobwebs in the corners of each room of which some had spiders in them. It seemed as though there used to be carpets in the bedroom which had been taken up and the floorboards just left as there was old paint on them. The sofa in the front room seemed to be missing the back cushions as they just had scatter cushions on them whereas the chair had a back cushion. We asked for a new filter for the hot tub and a floater for the chlorine tablets. The chlorine tablets were just placed in the top of the filter so dissolved too quickly to last the week and the filter that was in the hot tub was very dirty and way past it's life span. There was a filter in a container in water by the hot tub that was better than the one in the tub but we had to clean it out with the hose. We were advised that there wasn't any new filters or any floater for the chlorine tablets. The owner did get 2 people to come round and replenish the chlorine tablets but they didn't seem to know how to maintain a hot tub as they were going to shock the water which would've meant that we wouldn't have been able to use it for 24 hours. Luckily a member of our party has their own hot tub so were able to let them know not to do this. The garden needs some maintenance especially at the front of the house. The bathroom has recently been renovated which is really nice but I'm not sure why they didn't knock the toilet wall through to the bathroom as the toilet is situated on it's own. This is the same for the fridge as it's not situated in the kitchen, it's in the larder. This property could be so much more if a bit of tlc was spent on it. We will definitely not be revisiting.

  We stayed at Farwood Cottage in the Easter Holidays. The location was perfect, 10 mins away from DurdleDoor/Lulworth Cove, Ringstead Bay and close to Weymouth. The cottage is located on a bridal way and is a bit out of the way of the main road. This wasn't a problem for us at all. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with a gated parking area right outside the cottage. The cottage was clean and well presented with a real authentic feel. The kitchen had everything you would need utensils and pans for cooking. The bedrooms were very cosy and the beds were extremely comfortable. The bed lining was super soft, it felt lovely. Two bedrooms had a lovely view into the garden with horses on the field behind the garden. The stairs were steep and the upstairs doorways and kitchen doorway were low, my husband kept hitting his head. The upstairs bathroom was our least favourite room of the house. It was very dark and the lighting kept flickering. It just had a bit of an eerie feel to it. The shower was nice and powerful. There was a Farwood cottage booklet in the lounge with all of the information that you would need for your stay. It was very informative. The lounge was nice, again a little dark, but the wood burner was a nice addition. We bought our own wood and fire lighters and got it going in the evenings. The garden was nice but the grass could have done with a cut, it was a bit overgrown. But it was lovely having the horses at the end of the garden. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage. It was in a perfect location and was a lovely cosy cottage for our family of 5. We would recommend.

  Very disappointed to have rang before booking and checking of there was a dishwasher which stated on the website, the guy at the time confirmed there was everything we needed, which we was torn between wales or closer to home for a shorter drive.. as we arrived all seemed ok and beautiful so I decided to do a thorough check to see if we needed more pots or plates etc as my husband was coming later in the day , anyway the first thing we noticed NO DISHWASHER despite the website saying and the guy on the phone telling me there was, I rung to ask where was it located and Lauren who was a lovely lady called me back to say no there’s never been a dishwasher on that property which was a massive disappointment I instantly wanted to ask for my money back and go home as I work long hrs that was meant to be my Xmas present from my family to do nothing just cook and chill I then checked the rug & that hadn’t been hoovered properly as there was dog fur still the tiles in the kitchen were dirty and as I like to disinfect the sides I wiped the work tops and were dirty.. the flash upstairs only my husband could get it to flash which was a nightmare So we had to carry buckets of water up when someone used it over night, Over all I would never use the original cottages to book anything else anymore as they clearly mislead people. Very very disappointing but least now people are warned if you plan going there for a Xmas break you will be cooking and washing up constantly… Family asked for the details and I have refused to recommend it to anyone as I would expected better cleaning and at least a dishwasher as there’s enough room for one..

  Sunny croft was a great base in order to explore the area .

  The house is beautiful and comfortable and the garden was a lovely place to relax after a day exploring. My little furry friend especially loved the garden though there were some areas where she could of escaped so garden not fully secure though we were with her when she was outside anyway . Whilst using the amenities of sunny croft we found that the kettle was full of limescale so probably could of done with a descale . Had to boil a pan of water to make a brew . Also the little fridge freezer kept on freezing all our food so had to throw out food stuff so had to buy food on a daily basis for our meals so could probably do with an upgrade there . Also my main concern was that my dog and us kept getting bitten whilst there . I also found a flea in my brew . We were fine before we got there as I spray my own house and treat my dog accordingly and have no problems at home . So this definitely needs addressing . Probably due to having different dogs coming and going . So I'm now having to wash everything I took down there and re spray my own house just in case I brought them home with us .

  Accuracy of listing - garden wasn't entirely dog friendly as the chicken wire attached to the bottom of the main gate was fixed only along its top and side edges - the bottom of the wire could be pushed through, as our dog tried to do.

  Had to place a piece of wood along the bottom of the gate to block this off for the duration of our visit. Cleanliness - generally ok but some utensils had food residue on them and there was a noticeable amount of black dog [?] hair under the main double bed [hoovered up by us on departure] Facilities - real problems with the hot water throughout the week. The boiler rarely fired up for that [although the central heating was ok] and getting hot water from the taps was a bit of a lottery. Showering was very difficult [as noted by a guest in 2018 per the visitors' book]. Pressure to the system was ok so suggests the boiler needs a service? The double bed could do with a tightening up! On a general note we were surprised there was no food waste recycling facility and no guidance on recycling generally [we had to look up on the Dorset Council website what the local recycling arrangements were]. Other than that we had a very enjoyable stay. Loved the hot tub!
