    “Difficult one this.”

    Alice's Cottage is a very old, small, thatched, picture perfect cottage. It's a 5 minute walk to a lovely shingle beach with great facilities and which was never too busy when we were there in the middle of July. It is however situated right on a pretty busy road and directly opposite the road to the beach, so if you're looking for a quiet place, this is definitely not it.

    Alice's Cottage is a very old, small, thatched, picture perfect cottage. It's a 5 minute walk to a lovely shingle beach with great facilities and which was never too busy when we were there in the middle of July. It is however situated right on a pretty busy road and directly opposite the road to the beach, so if you're looking for a quiet place, this is definitely not it. Sitting in the pretty poorly maintained garden was a bit of a challenge. The table and chairs which had been clearly overlooked by whoever cleans the cottage when we were there (and from the state of the cloth after I'd wiped it down, is overlooked generally). If you have children, there are some quite dangerous broken slabs around the side of the cottage, which is part of the garden, and there are numerous rabbit holes and many many (many) droppings throughout the garden, so letting children out there would strike me as pretty risky. The inside was musty on arrival and didn't seem to have been freshly cleaned before we got there, it kind of felt like it had been done a few weeks before so a lot of dust had had time to settle. There was a side table with lots of family photos on, which seemed odd to me and the middle dining room particularly could certainly do with freshening up. I would say the upstairs and bathrooms felt fresher and generally cleaner than downstairs. Lots of spiders popping in to say hello but that is to be expected in such an old place. We probably wouldn't stay again as it is, but we settled in and had a lovely few days on the beach.

    Thank you for your feedback. Sorry the house smelt a little "musty" on arrival. We do ensure the property is throughly cleaned beforehand, upstairs and down. As for the garden, with the recent drought it's difficult to present a manicured one. Plus, as you may have read on other reviews, we have an issue with bunnies who like to dig holes in the night. During normal periods of weather, ie some rain, they do however act as efficient bunny mowers. As for the garden table, this probably had excessive dust on it due to the road resurfacing which occurred just before your stay. We like to present our Dorset home as warm and inviting hence there are some family photos on a side table. Regards Rob & Wendy Property Owner
