“Love this cottage, such a great location and comfortable, clean accommodation!”

- Mark, May 2022
Diana March 2022

“A great cottage in a great location for walking to Eype, Golden Cap and other coastal beaches.”

The cottage was very comfortable and clean, apart from a couple of large cobwebs, and a suggestion to change the shower curtain and a little more attention to the grout. We looked past this as the cottage has not been used to it’s full potential due to COVID but hopefully these things will be addressed before high season. It certainly would not stop me from visiting again as we had a fantastic week.

“I think there could be more information regarding the fact that the only parking is on a grass verge just down from the house.”

My friend got very nervous about leaving the card there as it was on a corner too. It turned out to be fine but was a bit of a shock when we arrived. The team at Sykes holidays could not have been more helpful when we need some advice on the TV and lack of a few key items. They communicated in a timely manner and soon came out to provide the missing items and even tuned in more channels for us! Great service!!

“Lovely property.”

Very well stocked kitchen with all the pans and utensils we could need. Clean and cosy and a great location for exploring the area. We would definitely book again.

Absolutely great place to stay, loved the quirkiness of the place walks to the coast and beyond from the door and a great local boozer in the New Inn highly recommended

“We had a lovely week’s holiday in Field view cottage.”

It has a lovely homely feel to it. It has everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. We only had one issue, the front window leaked quite badly when it rained. I did report this to the management company and they said it would be looked into. It didn’t really impact us though. The cottage is ideally located for dog walks to Eype beach which is less than a mile away, or over the cliffs to West Bay (20 minute walk). And for exploring further afield into East Devon. We had a great stay in the cottage and would highly recommend it. We were very sad to leave.

Very draughty heating not good ,thin duvets, rain coming i lounge windows, shower drain smelt I think sofa has had dogs on it and not one toilet roll provided, ,I've stayed in many cottages but this one I wouldn't book again

“Fantastic location, could barely hear the road and easy to walk to the coast.”

Great farm shop up the main road and easy to get into bridport.

- Tom, September 2021
Michael September 2021

“Utensils not clean nor was cooker.”

No grill pan found. Sun loungers would have been appreciated. Furniture delapidated and had seen better days. No hair dryer. Location good. Peaceful at night but surprisingly busy at start and end of days. None of the above prevented us having a good holiday.

- Michael, September 2021

“There is no room to park in the road at all and only space for one vehicle on verge at the bottom.”

WiFi code listed is wrong - details on the back of BT box in bedroom first floor. Says there is no recycling in the area but bin lorry did come to the area to take recycling however we missed it. Stairs to the top floor very narrow and steep. Anyone with mobility issues would not be able to climb

- Rebecca, August 2021
Jeannette June 2021

“Nowhere in the description does it mention there are very narrow, winding, steep stairs to the 2nd floor where the main bathroom is.”

It was inaccessible for my elderly mother who had to use the utility sink and toilet next to the kitchen for her bathroom needs. If I had known about the stairs I would not have booked the cottage.

- Jeannette, June 2021

“Very comfortable and well appointed, very well kitted out and lots of walks from the door.”

Great place to holiday.

Jacqui December 2020

“The cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable with plenty of room for a family of four and two labradors.”

Great location with lovely walks and stunning scenery from the door. We stayed over Christmas so didn’t travel to other towns but would love to back another time to do so. We parked on the verge just down the road as no parking at the cottage, but wasn’t a problem.

- Jacqui, December 2020
Cathy October 2020

“This was our third stay at Field View cottage and it was as comfortable and cosy as ever.”

The only requests I would make are for a chair in the bunk bedroom and the double bedroom on the first floor. The bunk bedroom in particular needs this as there’s nowhere to sit - I ended up sitting on the floor when I wanted to sit down as it’s uncomfortable trying to sit on a lower bunk bed. And a vegetable peeler would be a welcome addition to an otherwise very well equipped kitchen.

- Cathy, October 2020
Elspeth Victoria October 2020

“Absolutely lovely holiday cottage.”

Lots of space for 2 couples and one baby. Really cosy for an autumnal break. We made full use of the log burner after long walks along the coast. Perfect!

- Elspeth Victoria, October 2020
Sharon September 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, slightly rustic cottage.”

It is very roomy and it was great having the downstairs shower/utility room as well as a bathroom. The views are stunning and the area is lovely. Parking wasnt as much of a problem as we thought it would. A great place for a family holiday.

- Sharon, September 2020
Rachel August 2020

“We loved our stay at this cottage.”

It was very clean, spacious and well equipped. It was handy for a walk down to the beach (a bit harder work coming back up!) The pub half way to the beach was very welcoming. The parking wasn't really a problem, there's space on the grass verge over the road. There is so much to do in the local area - one week was definitely not enough. Thank you.

- Rachel, August 2020
Kay August 2020

“Lovely light and airy cottage, has everything you need and is near to main road to get to local beaches,shops and towns.”

The only negative is the front door opens onto local road used as cut through, fast traffic at times and you have to be careful of excited kids and dogs running out. Had a great holiday and would definitely return

- Kay, August 2020

“Lovely cottage and area.”

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

“This is a copy of the email I sent to Dream Cottages, who are managing the property, which I am yet to receive a reply to (photos not included on this feedback form but were emailed to property managers at Dream Cottages).”

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,

- Ellie, August 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.

Eric April 2019

“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 !!!

- Eric, April 2019
Robert April 2019

“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.

- Robert, April 2019
Mrs Bethan Taylor Aug 2017

“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

Mr Steve Cox Apr 2016

“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 Steve Cox, Apr 2016
Mr Richard Sax Aug 2015

“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

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.
