  I have booked with Sykes for many years and never before been disappointed or given a negative review.

  The directions to find this property were useless. It is described as a lodge on a farm but is really a static caravan. It stood on gravel at the end of a long drive, through a caravan & motorhome park (no mention of this from Sykes).We arrived in a storm to find that nothing was provided, not even milk to make a cup of tea. The owners had assumed that we only wanted to use one bedroom & only one bed was made up. The owner rectified this. The gas cooker ignition did not work so we were supplied with a lighter. I didn't want to risk a naked flame on an unfamiliar gas oven so found instructions for the particular model on line. On the positive side it was clean (apart from heavily soiled and stained lounge carpets) and the lounge furniture and beds were quite comfortable & the bedding was clean. The kitchen was reasonably equipped. There were no instructions as to how to use anything in the accommodation; there was no information about the local area and what to do there. The living area was adequate & comfortable. The bedrooms were extremely difficult to use. Large double beds were stuffed into very small spaces with no room at all to move. Getting out of bed in the dark with only inches of space was dangerous & resulted in several bangs and bruises. They were very claustrophobic. The wardrobe sliding door did not close & the shower cubicle door was very difficult to use. The bathroom was tiny with very little space to move. We did not approach the owner. The whole place felt unfriendly with notices telling people not to go to the farmhouse but to text to make contact. I texted to tell her we were leaving early - it took her 15 hours to respond. I would not recommend this property, especially to older people. It was a very disappointing holiday and we returned home early. Certainly not what I have come to expect from Sykes over the years.

  Great little cabin.

  It was very comfortable and a nice place to relax in the evening after a day out exploring the area. Everything was clean and in good condition. There was a small fenced private garden for our dog to enjoy (we could have as well, but it was a little cold in the evenings still). The cabin is in a nice quiet location, and the driveway is gated. Finally, the owner Suzy was great. She answered every question we had before we got there and checked on us while we were there to ensure everything was going good. Even though we never actually met in person on this visit, we knew she would have fixed any issue that may have come up. This was a great stay and we would definitely stay again.

  The Butler’s House is wonderful and full of character and charm. My family had a lovely, tranquil stay and our labrador had the time of his life exploring the grounds and the woods adjacent to the property. The fireplace really is a main feature of this lovely house and to have access to unlimited wood is a rarity for a holiday cottage. The kitchen is small but functional although it could do with a microwave. The walk to the pub is 0.2 of a mile so you’re there in no time and it’s really nice. Customer service has been great throughout and after we left, they found one of our baby blankets and posted it to us straight away. We would definitely stay again.

  Amazing cottages, our whole family loved it.

  The cottages themselves from the outside look small but as you walk in they are like a tardis. Very spacious, clean, great views and generally lovely. Having the views and stables in your back garden was a wonderful addition. Very quiet at night and only heard the horses when we fully opened the windows. We had an issue with our shower, the plumber came out same day and changed it, could not fault the team they were amazing. Definitely highly recommend these cottages. Short drive from Weymouth beach and not far from all the sites. We all had such a lovely week away.

  Nicely decorated and modern.

  Good location to visit places. Roads too busy nearby to run or walk along. Footpaths through fields lovely for the dog to run. Horses an added bonus to see and hear. Lacking a personal touch of fresh milk and local cake or products on arrival after our long journey. Towels and linen basic quality but clean. I always enjoy a visitors book to see which places to visit on recommendations rather than trial and error. Comfy stay. Please consider a Saturday changeover day as Friday traffic terrible and you need to take an extra Friday off work.
