What our customers say about their holidays

  The Old Bakery is a beautiful looking cottage and very comfortable to stay in.

  It was equipped with everything you could think off and more. All the little extras were a lovely surprise. Mary, Richard and off course poppy were fantastic host and nothing was too much trouble. I would say the best feature is the garden, my son loved it. There were places to hide, places to run and play, places to climb and best of all the river. Richard took the time to show us what was in it. There was always something new to see in the garden each day. A fantastic place for little explorers. The cottage is a little way from the beach and other attractions but it didn’t matter to us too much, as it was nice to see new places and the scenery. The shops are a 6 minute drive and about the same for a pub meal. We had a lovely time staying here and would recommend it. Thank you for a great holiday.

  Lovely house that worked well for us whilst visiting Portland.

  . Nice and local to the beach, shop and pub which were all within walking distance. Parking as mentioned before hand was not easy this was not a problem for us although we had a truck which we got down to unload and load up by the house we would never get park out side even when there was spaces available , as it was very busy the car parks recommended were always full so ended up having to park down but the big roundabout which for us was ok as don’t mind walking and had a trolley but for anyone looking for close parking would not suit. The view out the bedroom window is beautiful and lovely to wake up to. For our boys the joy of watching the military aircraft flying round and landing near which could be seen from the bedroom windows by was a high light of their holiday.

  Unfortunately the cottage did not meet the standards we usually find with a Sykes’s cottage.

  On entering we were met with a musty smell which caused us to go and purchase a Febreeze plug in. The bin in the kitchen had not been emptied. The amount of cobwebs and spiderwebs were unacceptable even for an old quirky cottage. The carpet felt spongy and moist underfoot. The view from the cottage was of a cardboard box and empty bottles full of water??? The path to the garden was obstructed by trip hazards, electrical cables being used to charge garden equipment that was being housed with no covering. Ladders left with ropes against trees and a plugged in chainsaw in the grass. We have an adventurous 10 year old who is disciplined and is very aware of danger but not sure every child would not have found these tools as toys! Unfortunately would not recommend at this time.

  The cottage and surroundings are lovely and very quiet.

  The cottage is very well equipped and the owners are on hand to help you if needed. Watch out though for the beams and low ceiling on stairs; might be good idea to put warning or a soft covering on wall. The location benefits from being about 5mins to Crewkerne which has a large Waitrose and Lidle so you are able to pick up practically all you need. The use of a small garden area is available for guests - lovely - we took our dog and would kindly suggest the garden is somehow enclosed so your dog cannot go off wondering into the larger gardens. The owners are working on the gardens which are incredible and looking to have a games room in one of the outbuildings. We will definitely consider another visit.

  A good base to see West Dorset.

  Good : owners friendly , outside areas . large tv .toiletries,wine,milk. no dog smells ! Suggestions: need more plates/mugs/bowls to be able to use dishwasher as if we had stacked the dishwasher we wouldn't have any to use. some more smaller oven trays would be useful as well as a pizza tray / rolling pin . Some New bedlinen & towels would be of benefit. Settee covers could do with a wash ! Obviously damp issues on walls as patches show through the paint & we could smell it when we open the kitchen cupboards below the cooker. . The storage heaters were old & rusty in places. We didn't need to use them ! I think if a bit more money was spent on these issues it would be a good rental to return to.
