    “There were 4 of us in our party and we arrived at the property at 23.”

    00 in the pouring rain to find the house occupied!!! We had all the correct paperwork from Sykes Cottages and the people in the house had all the correct paperwork from Airbnb.

    00 in the pouring rain to find the house occupied!!! We had all the correct paperwork from Sykes Cottages and the people in the house had all the correct paperwork from Airbnb. Extremely frustrated and shocked to discover that the owner had double booked the property. We had no option at that time of night but to check in to a local hotel on the main street for 2 nights until the house became vacant in 2 days time. This cost us £600 for 2 rooms for 2 nights. We received no acknowledgement or apology from the property owners and in fact have only been reimbursed £300. Sykes Cottages have told us that the owner has refused to pay the balance. The house is extremely small and we found it cramped for 4 people. Location is superb.

About the location

DORCHESTER

Weymouth 7 miles.

A trip to Dorset is not complete without visiting the market town of Dorchester, with its Roman roads, museums and a wide selection of pubs and restaurants. Enjoy a scenic walk around Maiden Castle, the largest hillfort in England, or visit the County Museum which has a room devoted to Thomas Hardy, born just two miles away in Bockhampton. Just seven miles away are the glorious gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour of Weymouth, and the rugged peninsula of Portland, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, part of the breathtaking World Heritage Coastline. In fact, you’ll find yourself so intoxicated by Dorset’s magic spell, you won’t want to return home at the end of your stay!

The nearest long stay car park is Top O' Town car park which is less than a 10 minute walk from the property on Bridport Rd - DT1 1XT. Other nearby carparks are Durngate car park and Wollaston Field car park. For ease, you might like to download the ‘Just Park’ app to pay for parking.
