“The cottage was ideal for our family of eight and we had a lovely week.”

The garden was perfect for al fresco dining and there was plenty of room for the children to play. If we had to mention a downside it was the small, but very high, bed in the downstairs bedroom which proved a little tricky for an elderly lady!

“This is a lovely cottage and suited our needs perfectly and the bedrooms offered a lot of flexibility.”

The wood burner was lovely to have burning in the evening. It was refreshing to have plenty of cups, saucers, pots and pans for all of us (as often bigger properties don't).

“The location and general look of the cottage met our expectations however there are certain aspects which could certainly be improved.”

The cleanliness of the cottage being my main complaint. I do not expect to have to clean a microwave, kettle and oven before I use it ! The oven hob needs updating as it takes hours to cook . Spiders and cobwebs do not bother me but a dirty shower curtain does . Overall the cottage is lovely however just needs some tender loving care and a cleaner who cleans All that said the beds are comfy - bedding creased but that is a minor issue . Also no torch in situ as stated in information lucky no power cuts were experienced. All that said yes I would stay in this delightful cottage again .

“We had a really lovely time, the weather was perfect, and the cottage all that we expected, the boys (children) really enjoyed the garden.”

Only one thing we found to mention (not complain) was that the lighting in the lounge, as the evenings drew in it was always quite dim in the evening. Apart from that minor problem, every thing was perfect for all of us, and would recommend the cottage to anyone.

“Cosy cottage in a great location, with fantastic local pubs with great food.”

Not sure why the kitchen door hasn't been fixed. If we had not read the previous review , we would also have locked ourselves out as the bottom dead lock suddenly drops.
Mr Kendal June 2019

“Cottage met our requirements from point of view of space, comfort and situation but was disappointing in that it was generally not very clean.”

The worst of that was in hidden areas such as behind and under furniture which was all the worse as we had a 21 month old toddler with us and obviously he was playing on the floor and quite inquisitive. Also TV reception was hopeless which I reported by email mid week but nothing was done. The internet, whilst usable, used to 'drop out' quite regularly and could not be relied upon for anything important.

“Beautiful cottage in idyllic setting.”

Nice secluded garden with country/farm views. Plenty of room. Bedrooms well-presented with comfortable beds and nice bathroom. On the down side, sofas very low and uncomfortable, shower room overdue for renovation to bathroom standard, kitchen cupboards and draws in need of attention -drooping doors and loose drawer fronts. Major problem with French doors in kitchen, where lower bolt could unexpectedly drop and prevent door opening at all from outside. On arrival, having unpacked our car we locked the main door leaving the key in the lock, planning to go out later. We explored the house and went outside to explore the garden via the kitchen by unlocking the french doors with the key. The door opened easily since the top and bottom bolts were not apparently set. After closing the door to avoid flies and wasps entering and walking around the garden we found that the door would no longer open. After careful examination we could see that the door was completely jammed at the bottom and would not open any way. We called Sykes in Weymouth at 3.15 pm and Angela arrived at 5.30 with a duplicate key which could not be used because a key was left in the main door lock. After failing to get out a locksmith she broke a small pane in a front window, unlocked the window to gain access and let us in. Once the french door was unbolted at the bottom, the door opened easily and hard closing did not replicate the problem. The locksmith/glazier arrived on Monday at 2.30 to examine the window and door and returned an hour later to reglaze the window. Although he could not repeat the bolt problem he recommended always carrying a main door key when in the garden. Later in the week the tendency for the bolt to drop recurred. We assume that Sykes has warned subsequent guests. Clearly this was a property fault, and not caused by us.

“Lovely thatched cottage with goodsize bedrooms and bathrooms.”

Excellent dining spaces and kitchen equipment. Beautiful garden. Excellent wifi. Ample parking for two cars. Very well located to explore the Jurassic Coast. A visit to Durdle Door was the highlight of our trip - stayed July 2017

Mrs Anna Howell

“The cottage was a perfect fit for us.”

A wonderful quiet rural location off the beaten track but still close to everywhere we wanted to go. Very relaxing environment. Wonderful farm shop just up the road. Lovely accomodation-very comfortable but the red settee was interesting. Brilliant parking as we had 3 vehicles. We would love to have stayed longer. We all loved it! Stayed April 2017
Mrs Joann Manlow

“Delightful cottage and wonderful time had by all.”

Beautifully looked after cottage with the old charm mixed in with modern. Everything to a high standard. We would all love to return! Stayed February 2017
Mrs Madelaine Cooper

“A really lovely cottage in a beautiful setting on a quiet road with views across the Dorset countryside.”

To call it a cottage suggest that it was quite small - but our party of six adults felt relaxed and never cramped and the downstairs bedroom was a real help for one of the older members of the group. We would highly recommend this cottage - stayed April 2015.

The property

Little Berwick is a picture postcard thatched cottage parts of which date back to the 17th century.

The detached property is situated down a quiet lane about two miles from the village of Burton Bradstock.

On the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen/diner leading onto a comfortable cottage style sitting room/diner with a inglenook fireplace complete with wood burning stove (during winter months) for you to build a fire to provide a warm welcome on a winters day after a bracing walk.

Featuring a ground floor bedroom and a shower room, there are a further 4 bedrooms on the first floor.

On a summer day sit and relax in the lawned garden and patio area having a drink in the sunshine.

Burton Bradstock is a village worth exploring with its tiny thatched cottages, colourful gardens, quaint tea rooms and local village pubs all with a tale of history.

The local farm which lies about a quarter of a mile away from the cottage offers free range eggs, fresh milk and delicious cream and honey.

For the country lovers the surrounding countryside gives you the luxury of watching rabbits, deer and pheasants wallow in their natural habitat.

Outdoor types have the chance to explore the country lanes and the magnificent World Heritage Status Dorset coastal path, part of which stretches from Portland to Lyme Regis.

Little Berwick is an ideal location in a character cottage allowing you to discover Dorset.
