“Lovely cottage and area.”

The cleaning really let you down! Will go into detail via your customer relations email.

Dear Dream Cottages, First of all, I’d like to thank you for quickly sorting out the problem with the lock on the day we arrived. It wasn’t ideal finding out we couldn’t get in when we arrived as we had an 8 week old baby with us and so we were anxious to get settled. We were glad that we hadn’t arrived to this problem late at night as it might have been harder to sort out. We did wonder though - wouldn’t the cleaner have noticed the problem with the lock when they locked up? On the subject of the cleaner, we want to bring to your attention the subject of cleanliness of the cottage. We don’t want to leave a bad review and thought it would be better to email you directly about this. After we arrived, we soon noticed that the cleanliness of the cottage was not up to a good standard. Many things had not been checked that they were clean after the last people who stayed there. We were pleased to see bed linen was clean, but apart form this, we found bins not emptied, medication in a drawer, a stained cushion on the sofa, spillages on the floor, and plenty of dust. I have attached several photo’s to show you. We paid a lot of money and felt like the cleaner had just changed the bed linen and not checked much else was cleaned to a satisfactory standard. The cleanliness certainly didn’t meet the standard of the most basic chain hotels. We didn’t contact dream cottages about this during our stay as it would have ruined our holiday to be in discussions about it, and it would have been too disruptive to have someone come and clean it while we were there. In the visitor’s book, other holiday makers have also commented on the standard of cleanliness of the cottage and that they felt it was ‘tired’, which we also would agree with. Please could you make the owner aware of this. We regret to say that although the cottage was in a perfect location, we won’t be staying there again. I look forward to your correspondence about this. Many thanks,
Mrs Thomson May 2019

“We were so happy with Field View Cottage that we were back for a second visit.”

A problem with a blind was sorted the day after it was reported - impressed. It would be good to have a chair in the room with bunk beds.

“We were coming from Belgium and France and it was our first trip in England (excepted London) and it was a very very lovely surprise!”

The cottage had a huge size for the five of us. All the rooms were comfortabe and cozy. The kitchen was very well furnished. Everything was perfect and for sure, we will recommand you !!!

“The log burner failed to work properly until I realised on our third night that a fire brick (or similar) was blocking the chimney vent - I think the log burner needs a thorough service as soon as possible.”

The house was not as clean as I would have expected with many cobwebs present with a level of cleanliness which was below expectations. We knew the house was dog friendly (we did not bring one) but it appeared the cleaners had done an adequate job prior to us arriving. Car parking was fine as we used the verge as directed however on the last day another vehicle parked on the same verge (we think visitors to one of the other adjoining properties), which then made it rather difficult to park safely on the remaining verge (we only parked outside the house to unload and load the car). These are relatively minor quibbles as on the whole we very much enjoyed the property which was comfortable and well equipped and ideal for the places we wanted to visit.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at field view cottage.”

The cottage itself was gorgeous and we loved the attic bedroom. There was lots to do nearby and we would definitely recommend it to others - stayed August 2017

“Excellent facilities in the cottage .”

It was our first holiday with a puppy and couldn't fault the amazing walks and views we have had , my daughter already wants to go back next year and cried when we had to go home . Stayed April 2016
Mr Richard Sax

“Very nice cottage with a good feel to it.”

Extremely well stocked and maintained. The kitchen is a particularly attractive and useful room and the garden is nicely laid out. We had two cars which we tucked in along the windows as instructed and which seemed to cause no obstruction. To park higher up the road would not have been practicable. The cottage is further away from the beach than stated. Stayed August 2015

The property

Field View Cottage is a semi detatched cottage located at Higher Eype, about a ten-minute walk from Eype a pretty 'olde' English village believed to have been a smugglers haunt!

This rural cottage is positioned so that you may take in the splendid view of fields and countryside which surround it.

Filled with bags of cottage character you are warmly welcomed into the sitting room, with it’s brick fireplace and wood burner a perfect place to curl up with a good book.

The large country kitchen is the perfect place to gather and cook up a storm to be enjoyed together around the farm house table.

Wander through the patio doors and enjoy the cottage garden and seating.

The Local pub The New Inn hotel has a dog friendly 'Smugglers' bar open to non-residents during high season and offers a warm welcome to all visitors. With the Jurassic Coast on your doorstep this is ideally located for some hearty walks to nearby West Bay in one direction and Charmouth in the other.

For a busier atmosphere, the market town of Bridport is only a mile away where you can find well-known high-street stores, antiques and collectables, as well as a regular farmers' market showcasing the best of Dorset produce.

Field View cottage is super house for a family to come and explore the Jurassic Coast.

About the location

Eype

Eype sits on one of the most dramatic sections of the Jurassic Coastline, and famously features one of ITV’s series Broadchurch’s most iconic locations. We’ll leave you guessing as to which one until you visit. The beach at Eype is a steeply shelving pebble beach that is dog friendly all year round and just 3 miles from Bridport and 4 from West Bay, where many other Broadchurch locations can be viewed, as well enjoying local fish and chips on the harbour side and ice creams on the sea front. Bridport offers all the high street amenities you will need along with a much-coveted antiques and collectables market. Golden Cap, the highest point in Dorset, sits on the South West Coast path and is just 4 miles from Eype, although it’s the highest point there are moderate routes to walk to the top, where spectacular far reaching views along the coast will be your reward.

Note: Second floor, Steep and narrow cottage stairs leading to second floor which has restricted headroom due to sloped ceiling height and very low beams (care needed) on this floor.
Note: Guest must provide their own logs for the wood burner.
Note: guest to provide their own cot linen.
Note: Unrestricted parking in the lane directly outside the cottage but as the lane is very narrow here, although it should be fine to quickly offload outside, vehicles must be parked further down the lane where it is wider to avoid causing an obstruction.
