“With most pubs and restaurants only giving you 90 minutes to dine it was necessary to return to the cottage early on most evenings.”

Unfortunately the internet service was poor and the tv only got a signal on two days. The rest of the holiday we couldn’t watch the tv.

Unfortunately the internet service was poor and the tv only got a signal on two days. The rest of the holiday we couldn’t watch the tv. Other than that the cottage is lovely. Sort out the TV and upgrade the internet and it would be 5 stars all of the way.

“Warm, cosy, comfortable cottage, immaculately decorated.”

Convenient location for accessing the coast and local attractions. Rural location but expect some traffic noise as next to A road. Highly recommended.
Mrs Jones November 2019

“We had a good holiday - but found the cottage to be on a main road which we weren't expecting.”

The neighbour's car alarm went off on numerous occasions during our stay at all times of the day and night! Appreciated the fact that the cottage was nice and warm when we got there and was well equipped, comfortable and spotless. The garden needed a tidy but was serviceable but not entirely secure. Loved the owl and bird life that visited the garden. An enjoyable stay.
Mr Skulski October 2019

“Generally a lovely place to stay, a modernised cottage with all the amenities.”

Very handy for visiting local landmarks. My only gripe was the fact that the outside bins had not been emptied and there was only one bin bag inside the house. The recycle bin was outside and stank so all the rubbish had to go in one bin and we had to finish off the week with carrier bags. One problem is Sykes Holiday Cottages themselves, we had a major problem with a broken key and had to wait on hold for 20 mins before we could actually talk to someone, this seems to be the norm for this company. Having said that they did get a locksmith out to us quite quickly. A lot of places out here are dog friendly and they had put out a dog bowl for our dog (nice).
Mr Walker September 2019

“A beautiful cottage in a lovely setting which far exceeded our expectations.”

Decorated to a high modern spec with lovely vintage touches here and there. Fully equipped with everything you are likely to need. Comfy beds and plenty of towels available. Very cosy in the evenings after a long day out exploring. It felt like home and we would happily return again another time!
Mr Van Munster August 2019

“We had a very nice holiday in your cottage.”

Nicely renovated with a very nice kitchen and bathroom. Beautifull decorated. Every morning we were greeted by an owl who was sitting on te shed looking at us. We explored the Jurariccoast. As I said earlier we had a lovely time.
Mrs Mathieson July 2019

“This was a lovely well presented cottage, immaculate inside and out, nice and private with everything you could ask for.”
Mr Barke July 2019

“Die Gegend ist traumhaft und das Cottage ist ein idealer Startpunkt, um Ausflüge entlang der Jurassic Coast zu unternehmen.”

Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gefallen.
Mrs Price June 2019

“After a long journey, we were disappointed to find only UHT milk for a cup of tea - especially as we had no idea where there was a shop.”

There was no Visitors Book so we were unable to read/share information about local places to eat. We enjoy walking and on previous holidays have used a bus to start out or return from walks. An up-to-date bus timetable would therefore have been very useful. We spent one evening going up and down the road looking for the bus stops and making a note of information attached to these. There is, in fact, no bus stop sign if returning from the Weymouth direction, although the driver will stop. The bus stops only have information regarding the X54 Bus, the Damory coaches are not mentioned. Only, when we had reached Weymouth could we find information about the buses. Looking on line is not easy when the area/distance is unfamiliar. The second bedroom would benefit by some hanging space for clothes. The information about the cottage should mention the high-sided bath - this could have meant that the shower was not accessible for some. These are ideas, for we did enjoy our stay at Honeysuckle Cottage.
Mr Kendall June 2019

“The cottage was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, the only unfortunate thing was a musty smell each time entering the cottage from being away.”

Couldn't see any evidence of dampness, or a source for the smell. It wasn't a huge problem and within seconds of being in the cottage wasn't noticeable. Can't think of another criticism, except maybe an oven glove would be useful making it easier and safer taking hot items from the oven (if there was one there it wasn't found).
Mr Tangney May 2019

“It was a lovely little cottage, clean, comfortable, well maintained.”

Really could not fault it, although It was only used as a base whilst exploring the area, I really wouldn't hesitate to book this cottage again in the future, or to use dream cottages again. It was a good holiday. Thank you.
Mr Kay May 2019

“We had a wonderful week in Honeysuckle Cottage!”

It is very conveniently placed for visiting Dorchester and Weymouth and places of interest in the Dorset. We enjoyed relaxing in the natural garden watching the bird life during the day and at night enjoyed sitting under the moon and canopy of bright stars! The rooms in the cottage were comfortable - the settees and beds were comfy and it had a nice ‘easy to use’ shower.
Mrs Liddi April 2019

“I think it would have been helpful to have an extra supply of bath mats and tea towels.”

One of each for a week was not enough.
Mrs Siner April 2019

“Beautiful cottage and well located to explore the wonderful countryside.”

The garden isn’t secure and therefore not suitable for dogs who don’t like traffic as the cottage is on a busy main road.

About the location

OSMINGTON

Osmington village, sits on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, just 6 miles from Weymouth with it’s infamous beach and historic harbour and just 11 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Home to the famous Chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, cut into the hillside to commemorate the Royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away. It is also the place that John Constable spent his honeymoon in 1816 and where he completed his painting of Weymouth Bay that now hangs in the National Gallery. The South West Coastal path runs through Osmington Mills, a tiny hamlet on the edge of Osmington. Here many walkers start their coast path walks at the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Be sure to visit to find out all the stories. A short drive will see you reach a local convenience store at Preston. Weymouth offers a larger variety of shopping, eating and entertainment choices.
