  Fantastic venue, the property was just what needed, size, location as we were coming from different locations, families wanted to be together but also part of the larger family group.

  The Kitchen is really the hub of the house which suited us so well. All bedrooms and linen were clean and had everything you need. We would have liked to have had more control over the heating as at times it got cold has the heating was off from early afternoon through to early evening, we had two elderly with us, so they felt the cold more. We did contact the Housekeeper on the Saturday and she immediately turned up the heating for us from her App, it would just be nice to have more control yourself as the house was then again very hot overnight, its seems the timing needs a little adjustment. For one of the bedrooms upstairs you need to walk through another to get to the bathroom or to go downstairs, this could be an issue for friends staying. It wasn't particularly for us but we felt it should be mentioned in the property details. Otherwise a perfect long weekend for our family stay, thank you

  A lovely house, it suited the two of us well.

  We didn’t use the rooms upstairs. BUT A king size bed needs king size bedding, not just double size. The fan in the shower room did not work. The worktop lights in the kitchen did not work. We never found out how to turn on the hob fan and lights. The drawer containing the manuals needs to be organised for easy reference, and broken equipment discarded. There were no spare keys. The drive access is a problem which could ruin many holidays. Rights of way carry responsibilities, which seem to be ignored by tradesmen and others who might not understand the concept. A friendly, respectful, patient approach to the neighbours by the owner might yield benefits in restoring relations. Our strong suggestion is that the owner should create a new access from the road on the other side of the tree. The right of way could then be cancelled or bought out by the neighbours.

  Firstly West Lulworth is a very pleasant village with easy access to Lulworth Cove a beatuiful place.

  Unfortunately for the first time feel let down since I started using Sykes Cottages. On first arrival at St Mary's Chapel I tough this will be great base for our holiday. I wasn't lonf though before I notice that the living room furniture was covered in pet hairs so the first job was to start vacuuming the furniture, not an ideal start! Then the little annoying things, no teapot (we're no all coffee drinkers). No egg cups, and lacking cooking utensils in particular tongs. Loose tap in the bathroom, didn't know whether if the tap was going to come off all together, I'm not a plumber!. Some of these things might seem a bit petty but considering the price paid for this holiday, I think the place should have been spotless (particularly in view of the COVID situation) and with all fixtures and fitting in order.

  Had a wonderful stay at 2 Court Farm.

  Perfect location for the peace and quiet I was craving and the property was a good size. My 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed the local walks, and the enclosed garden was great for them too…sadly I had to collect around 6 large diarrhoea stools from the back garden (left by previous occupants) to prevent my dogs running in it and bringing it into the house. I figured the double bed was because the room wouldn’t facilitate anything larger but the room was huge and the bed rather small. I think they could all do with replacing since the single bed my daughter slept in was very creaky. I also would have liked a larger more comfortable sofa arrangement to have been able to enjoy the log burner more…it was very small and hard. All in all we had a lovely break but some home comforts were missing for me.

  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.
