What our customers say about their holidays

  The main picture of the cottage is, in fact, a photo of the owners' cottage.

  Colly cottage is round the back - much less pretty and a very misleading picture. All of the other photos portray innacurately tidy, clean and ordered rooms - in fact, the living room was cluttered with further random pieces of furniture as was the upstairs bedroom. We were fascinated by the TV stand which was full of books and facing the wrong way. The stuff portrayed hanging on the walls has been replaced with tackier hangings. Everything was dusty round the edges and the oven stank of burnt meat juices whenever it was used. The owner, without letting us know, let himself in to adjust the shower while we were out leaving dirt and what I think was glue residue on the floor of the shower. His wife, at one point, simply tapped on the door and walked in with a 'hello.' To drive out of the gate was simply risky as in both directions, it was impossible to see traffic coming - had a couple of near misses with tractors. Worst for us was that it was situated on a working livestock farm, a fact that is not mentioned in the blurb about the cottage and a fact that would have meant we'd not have looked at the cottage as we are vegans.

  When we arrived at daisy's cottage, we knew it would be a nice experience. Sat in the beautiful Dorset countryside, it was very peaceful. Obviously our son wanted to visit the seaside, so we went to three, Bournemouth, Weymouth and Swanage all at the most 30 minutes drive away and also there is monkey world just round the corner. The facilities were very good and clean, we was left a welcome hamper by our hosts which we thought was a nice touch. There is a small green that me and my son played football on. We came home one late afternoon from a day out and discovered our hosts left a swing ball game which my son was very happy about. Overall we really enjoyed our experience at daisy's cottage and we would highly recommend it.

  Colly Cottage is in a lovely location.

  We found the location easily, and parking was not a problem. It is well placed in West Dorset close to Bridport and West Bay. It was clean and well presented. Having a bedroom with en-suite downstairs, was great for my mother, as she finds stairs a bit of a challenge. Sue our host was very friendly, and we loved her two dogs and cat who popped in most days to give us a look. My only gripes were, we found the kitchen area a bit cramped, and the sink in an ackward position. Due to the location most days, internet and mobile phone use is not possible. However, I guess most people would welcome that ? Overall though a really pleasant holiday, in a lovely location.

  We stayed at Daisy's Cottage for a long weekend Friday to Monday. It was in a perfect location for what we wanted to do... visiting the local heaths for birdwatching, RSPB Arne, Durlston Country Park and a Birds of Poole Harbour (BoPH) birdwatching boat trip. The cottage is easy to get to, private, peaceful and very well equipped. It was spotless, clean and has very comfortable beds, no problem sleeping and also wonderful showers, the only snag for us was the settee was far too low down, we both had problems getting up! Also note there are no wardrobes in either bedrooms but there is a very handy hanging rail provided. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

  Generally we were more than satisfied with this property which we have stayed in previously and have booked again later this month. We would like to point out that the light switches at the top of the stairs from the kitchen to the lounge do not work. This means that at night, we had to go down into the kitchen in the dark before we could turn a light on. Also, the Expelair in the bathroom does not work which means everything gets steamed up. Obviously, we would not want these comments to be made public because everything else in the property is great but it would be helpful if they could be fixed. Thank you
