  Should have been better for the price.

  Laurel cottage was let down by Dreams not paying attention to the details which turn a good holiday into a great one. Specifically and to help Dreams improve the cottage for the future: No welcome pack - not even milk to make a cup of tea. Cottage not as clean as we would have expected especially as access was not permitted until 5.00 pm. The armchair, settee, toilet and towel rail were tired and the windows very dirty. Printed TV instructions were inadequate but luckily someone had left a scrap of paper on which they had written how to operate the set. There was no oven glove but there were dishwasher tablets even though there was no dishwasher. There were no facilities for recycling and quite a few of the lounge light bulbs didn't work. The outdoor seating area is small and doesn't gets the sun and the archway joining Laurel Cottage to Magnolia Cottage could do with rethatching. The website and cottage details mention a pub near by.....it is closed and looks like it has been for about two years. On the plus side, the bed was extremely comfortable and the cottage nice and cool after a warm day's walking in the beautiful surrounding Dorset countryside. We enjoyed our stay but Dreams should take time and care to keep Laurel Cottage in the condition it and the price deserves.

  Excellent location and 20 mins in car to various places.

  Sun in small garden through our morning. No grass area for dogs so headed to the fields and oastal paths, not a problem. Cottage has everything covered even coffee, washing up liquid etc. Also provide a hairdryer which was not mentioned in the description. The bed was really comfy and from John Lewis! Fab dual shower but sadly when we had a bath this leaked all through to ceiling to thd kitchen down thd beams. Sadly this had happened before as thd ceiling has yellow patches from previous leaks, I hope this gets fixed out of season as needs sorting, not good on the eye! Contacting Dream cottages/Skyes on Sunday and had a response on the Monday saying someone will be in touch, true to word on Tuesday the team called me and entered the cottage while we were out. Added extra draining liquid down the plug and this stopped the blockage but please please this must be looked at because it was a massive inconvenience to us mopping the floor and wiping thd kitchen units especially during dinner time. Would we go back or recommend....YES we would. Thank you.

  I thought it was very poor unfortunately.

  When we arrived we found at least 50 of what are probably 'dung flies' from the dairy farm that is about 50 metres away, flying around the cottage. If there is such a problem you would think they would provide utensils, fly swatter, fly traps etc but none to be seen so I spent the entire 3 days chasing these bacteria spreading insects around the house. We were never made aware that the smell of cow dung would be so profound either. There were cobwebs everywhere, one morning I woke up with one on my face which was horrifying to be honest. Finally if you have any sort of allergy to that musty 'cottage character' , steer clear because we both spent 3 days sneezing. Location was relatively convenient for us as we were there for a wedding in Lulworth, and the Smugglers Inn nearby was kind of cool, but everything else about our experience of Devon was unappealing. Crap food, killed on exchange rate, and inhospitable hospitality staff is apparently common in the area.

  The cottages was very pleasant, clean and comfortable.

  The only thing we would say negatively is the outside seating needs to be addressed as the chairs had no cushions and were most uncomfortable without. The only other downside is the parking, we could not park outside of the cottage at all as the cars that were parked there when we arrived on the Friday evening didn't move all week, we therefore parked outside of the pub but when it is high season and busy that may prove very difficult to do. Other than these two little niggles we had a lovely week and enjoyed the cottage very much. The best places to eat are The Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mills and the Seven Stars at Moreton both of these are so much better than the pub in the village both food and atmosphere also The Crown Inn at Stickland does a really good Sunday roast.

  Overall property was clean and comfortable.

  ..the bed and pillows extremely comfy and slept really well. The bathroom too is modern and a great shower. A quirky spiral staircase and beams add character. Parking spot outside front door is great. The property has a small outside space which is a bonus and somewhere to enjoy a coffee plus fenced off so our little dog couldn't escape. Location wise Osmington in an ideal position to pop into Weymouth plus days out further afield....we had a very good value meal at The Sailors Return in Chaldon Herring...pie night on Wednesdays! A few minor issues as regards kitchen equipment (needed a washing up bowl!) were dealt with very swiftly by Dream Cottages and owner so overall a very good experience.
