About this property
Cajun Cottage is a lovely thatched cottage located just a short walk from the beach at Lulworth Cove, as well as 2 pubs and several eateries. This pet-friendly home is suitable for a family or group of friends who want to be in a central location and enjoy sea views from its elevated position. Park in a designated spot and ascend a few steps to the terrace area, where you may enjoy your coffee in the morning sunshine. Find the modern kitchen/diner, which includes an electric oven and hob, as well as a dishwasher for easy cleaning; have breakfast at the table in the morning. When the meal is ready, gather in the spacious dining room, or if the weather permits, have an outdoor meal on the garden terrace while admiring the sea views. Relax in the sitting room, which features characterful beamed ceilings and a crackling woodburning stove. Climb the steps to the first level and choose from a king-size, twin and single bedroom, all with furniture to store your possessions. To start your day off well, wake up with a refreshing shower or a relaxing soak in the tub. A short walk will take you to the Southwest Coast route, where you can take in the gorgeous coast views and then cool down in the clean water of Lulworth Cove, which offers views of craggy cliffs. Visit neighbouring sites such as Lulworth Castle, Monkey World and The Tank Museum. Explore the historic town of Dorchester, which includes the Roman Town House, the Keep Military Museum, which houses military artefacts, and the lovely Borough Gardens. With a stay at Cajun Cottage, you may whisk your loved ones away for a trip they'll never forget..

It's a lovely cottage, very warm and with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent with two pubs within walking distance as well as cafes and other restaurants nearby. For those who don't drive, the buses seemed to be fairly frequent even in winter and they stop just over the road in the big car park. There is loads of good walking nearby and we also visited Tyneham this time, which is a village acquired by the MOD in WWII (well worth a visit). Dorset is a lovely county and the people are very friendly and welcoming - we hope to be able to come back again soon.

The garden area was pleasant and secure for the dogs. Eating out, the local pubs and restaurants were excellent. However, and I did not wish to publicise this , ,but the response from Sykes and the owner has been less than satisfactory so I feel that future paying guests should know about our experience. The kitchen was not well cleaned, greasy marks on cupboard doors and handles, crumbs in the drawers, dirty oven and baking tray. Underneath the sink was a filthy dirty dish brush! The cloakroom taps were also ringed with dirt. I did not anticipate coming on Holiday and having to clean items before use! A disappointing experience

We contacted the house keeper as wasn't sure if the log basket had been refilled as only 4 small logs, a few off cuts from tree branches and kindling - there was no matches or ignition lighter. We were told that yes it had been refilled and that was all that was left out for her to put in the basket. We found this quite unacceptable having to purchase our first batch logs, which in theory we had already paid for. She explained that she has no idea what is left until she arrives at the cottage and can't find replacements! There was no cleaning products for the toilets or bathroom only one hard surface spray in the kitchen and one cloth. Considering the cost of the cottage and the fact the owners request it is left clean on departure you would have thought they'd be available. We did ask her to pass our message on to the owner - she replied "I will do that." We heard nothing back.
