What our customers say about their holidays
Paul - Verified booking
The location in Rousden is everything you could wish for, except we weren't told there was no longer access to the beach which we particularly wanted to visit, so a little disappointed.
The estate is very dog friendly with nice walks and we met some lovely people. Parking. There is no off road parking! You park on the road outside the property, but there is only room if there is no one parked opposite or you will block the road. Beware the wrath of the neighbour on the conner next door if you park too close to "his parking space!" We love Devon & Dorset but this time it was unseasonably cold, down to 10 degrees for two days, and sometimes very wet. Not a problem for us, but the underfloor heating did not lend itself to these conditions at all, It was set somewhat cool and by it's design it does not respond quickly to heat demand. It's not pleasant coming back to a cold cottage on a horrible wet day, and not be able to feel any benefit from boosting the heating for at least two hours. There is no additional heating included, so there was nowhere to dry wet coats, so they stayed wet. There is a wood burner, but no fuel is provided and it would have cost me a small fortune to buy the fuel needed to fuel it, so ultimately our stay was not as comfortable as it could have been. The roof window leaks reported by previous visitors continue to leak. The property is listed for six people, but the third bed is a bed settee in the lounge/TV room, which already has a bed on the mezzanine above. The bathroom for it would be one of the en-suites through another bedroom. Hardly very practical, I'm glad we didn't take the family here. When we arrived, the bin was full, and despite us putting it out to be emptied on the allocated day, it was not emptied. A phone call to Lyme Bay Holidays resulted in no action, so the next visitor would be met with the overflowing bin at the gate. It's a lovely cottage in a stunning location but would I go again? I'm sorry. No.

First the bad stuff: We contacted in August 2023 and again in October 2023 to ask if the cottage would have a Christmas tree and decorations.
We were emailed to say yes so we went ahead and booked. When we arrived at 4pm on the 23/12/2023 there was no tree or decorations. We had grandchildren visiting us on Christmas day so this was a big letdown. There was nothing! We contacted Sykes and a man turned up with a 4ft optical tree he taken from another property. There was nothing else. The washing machine was broke and not fixed until the 6th day of our stay. We had purposely not packed so much thinking we could do some washing. Our dog had been travel sick and we had 2 dirty towels! The washing machine was fixed 6 days later and we left on the 7th day.We logged a complaint with Sykes Cottages on the first day and still have not had a response despite chasing this up. There was a plug socket coming away from the wall upstairs. We have taken photos. Towels provided but too small. Two bath towels would have been nice. For a place that can sleep 6 people it's lacking a dishwasher. Especially all the cooking over Christmas. Good stuff: The cottage is beautiful and the layout with the bedrooms (not next-door to each other) was great for privacy. Location is beautiful. Rousdon Estate is beautiful and lovely to walk with the dog. This was our 2nd stay on the Estate. Private beach is steep to get to with lots of steps but definitely worth going.

We had a fantastic holiday at Blue Cottage.
Very well presented and lovely decor. I'll start from bottom of the house to 4th floor. The house had everything you needed from cooking facilities: oven/hob, microwave, kettle including all the utensils. The trays were a very thoughtful item to help carry dinner up the 2-3 flights of stairs. Lounge/dining room was spacious, TV had access to Netflix, little touches like board games too. Bedding was well presented with plenty of hanging space for your holiday clothes. 2 bathrooms with a bath and shower. Top bedroom with balcony was stunning, we ended up cancelling our table reservation out for evening dinner to instead sit on the balcony and eat watching the sunset. Constructive feedback- List all the little details on the website as we were not aware of absolutely everything they had in the house - for example, we brought our own high chair, bath anti slip mat for the little one, own iron, etc when we could have saved space in the very full car as the holiday house had it all.

We enjoyed our stay at Blue Cottage.
It was very clean, and the beds very comfortable. There is space to park the car through a secure gate, which is where we accessed the door through to the kitchen. The road leading to the property is one way, and can get busy. We looked out for the Coop and knew then to slow down for the gate to the property. The property is over 4 floors, with lovely views from the balcony on the top floor. Thanks for supplying some books games and films, they helped on a rainy afternoon. It was all well stocked with Kitchen utensils, dishwasher kettle and toaster. There is a washing machine and iron/ ironing board. We spent time sightseeing and walking In Portland. Some amazing views across to Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast. The road to / from Chesil beach is very steep, need some sensible shoes! I would recommend Blue Cottage.

We have stayed in one of these bay apartments before, but Starfish far surpassed the other.
After reading a previous review about cleanliness I was concerned, but it was spotless so I expect the owners had acted on the previous comments. Thank you. My 92 year old mom and I (with mobility issues) managed the stairs no problem. The views are outstanding and mom spent a lot of time in the window seat. It is Well stocked and the treats on arrival were lovely and very useful. The clean spacious bathroom with a large step in shower made life easier for us. We had a great stay despite unpredictable weather. One negative feedback I do wish rentals would always used a thick moisture proof pillow protector which are changed between clients. This would reduce the infection risk as a single pillow case is not a suitable protection for infection particularly with flu and covid around.
