“Lovely position easy access to beach clean and comfortable but in need of updating.”

..

- Mr Rowbotham, September 2020
Mrs Attwood October 2020

“Distance to beach, pub etc is vague ie 5 mins walking or driving.”

No footpath to beach so for wheelchair user risky. Great that equipment provided for wheelchair user ie cooker, washing up unfortunately the table and chairs are in the way!

- Mrs Attwood, October 2020
Mrs Smith September 2020

“This cottage is perfect for wheelchair users and the owners have tried to think of everything including height adjustable kitchen sink and cooker hob, medium height oven, tiled flooring throughout without any door bars and both bedrooms have access directly off the conservatory with wide doors and the bathrooms are designed with space for chairs and the shower room even has a waterproof shower chair (on wheels).”

The location is fantastic with lovely views from the little patio area by the lawn and the grounds around the cottage are lovely with lots of areas to explore and a field for dog walking too. There are also great walks from the property for our doggy. THe Wifi and TV services are excellent. Only one small negative for us, the sofa was not comfortable but that is just a personal thing - it did mean we didn't relax in the evenings as much a we normally do when away. The parking is excellent so close to the entrance and the spaces are big so wheelchair access is allowed for.

“One of our party was disabled and shielding.”

Following COVID 19 Lockdown etc. he wanted to cancel the holiday. You did not respond to any of our emails and we could not contact you by 'phone. In the end we felt that we had no option but to continue with the holiday. ironically, upon informing you that we were still going on holiday, we immediately received a reply via email. Luckily for us our latest lockdown (Wrexham) occurred whilst we were on our last day of holiday. Although the accommodation was nice, a dishwasher would have been welcomed, especially when considering COVID 19 decontamination. We had no advice or assistance regarding the cancellation or transfer of the holiday to another date. This experience has meant that we will never consider booking another holiday through Sykes. Although being advised that the Post Code should not be used for SatNav purposes, it would have been useful to mention that the actual Post Code given in the instructions was that of the Owners home address, not the holiday cottage! This was approx. 12 miles away near Weymouth, not West Bexington, where the property was.

“Excellent faciñity for a disabled person”

“As a wheelchair user I have found Mimosa Cottage suitable for my needs.”

It has a lot of ground around the site as an orchard which is perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The only downside being the steep access road and lack of level parking. This caused a few issues with the use of the access ramp to my vehicle but was resolved satisfactorily with some communication with the owners.

“Really wonderful place.”

“Mimosa- This cottage is located in a beautiful quiet setting, yet a short walk to a pebble beach and lovely hotel (The Manor) with a stunning terrace and beer garden.”

The gardens of the cottage are vast (be careful if you have a wandering dog) and again beautiful with exceptional views. In terms of condition and facilities this is what let’s the cottage down. It is fully wheelchair adapted ( not just accessible) which is a great point and sizing of bedrooms and conservatory are fine but the open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area is very small and restricted. The overall cleanliness was good on arrival except for the windows outside. The kitchen is in a bad need of replacement and really the whole place needs a total refit to bring it up to date and to also, in my opinion, make it value for money. It needs to include basics like a dishwasher in this modern world and new hard and soft furnishings, especially the outside garden furniture needs replacing. The bedroom wardrobes are a curtain across a rail at low level in the corner! Whilst this cottage advertises from £479 price tag, when you pay £1200 for 1 week in July it is not value for money. Would I come again? I would certainly come to the location without doubt and if I was paying around £500 I would feel it acceptable and value for money, but not with a £1200+ price tag.

“We were particularly impressed by the helpful owners, Sue and Henry Pearse as they moved a sinlge bed into the double room in order to facilitate the hospital bed my husband had to use.”

Also we found Active Mobility in Dorchester gave good service in delivery and collection of bed - thank you for recommending them to me. Stayed June 2018

“Terrific cottage in fantastic location.”

Every conceivable comfort for disabled person and carer and very well laid out. Equally good for any able-bodied family or couple. Well-equipped kitchen with nothing missing. Really couldn't hope for more. Sea view from beautiful garden was magnificent. Stayed July 2018.

“A lovely cottage, excellent for a family with a wheelchair user.”

Spacious rooms and comfortable beds and pillows. Both adapted toilets are of a high standard. Being set in pleasant gardens with a sea view made it very restful. Parking spaces are very well set out. Stayed June 2018

“The thought and care that had been lavished on this property, for instance the irises on the mantelpiece, the grass roof on the annex, lots of table lamps which made it cosy, the garden in particular was a dream & full of lemon balm, rosemary, laburnum, fennel, clematis and a Judus tree in full bloom, plus lots of cow parsley, the useful grabber stick, dog lead & bowl & poo bags (we did have our own), lots of useful hooks in both bathrooms, & by the main door, good mirrors in the bedrooms & by the main door, lovely furniture in the conservatory and lounge area, bird feeders with fat balls in, and the handtowels.”

Stayed May 2018

“We were delighted with the accommodation, it was just perfect, very clean and spacious.”

Lovely peaceful setting, garden surrounding the cottage and sea views from the front. It was a 10 minute walk to the beach and within easy driving distance of Weymouth, Dorchester and Lyme Regis. We will certainly stay there again. Stayed April 2018

The property

Mimosa Cottage located in the Dorset Coastal village of West Bexington, has wonderful views of the World Heritage site Jurassic Coast as well as the rolling hills and patchwork fields of West Dorset.

The cottage is a part of a complex of three holiday cottages with gardens surrounding them all.

Mimosa Cottage is an ideal holiday home for a disabled person and carer and is very well laid out.

It is equally good for any able-bodied family or couple. Guests staying at Mimosa will benefit from wheelchair friendly accommodation with spacious rooms all on one level, including an accessible wet room, conservatory and separate chill out room.

A patio area with tables and chairs is the perfect place to enjoy an alfresco lunch in the sunshine whilst surveying the wonderful views.

Surrounding Mimosa are gardens for you to explore, pockets of lawn are interspersed with paths and an orchard.

You are more than welcome to help yourself to apples and pears in the season.

Take a short walk across the field and you will reach Chesil Beach.

Admire thousands of wintering birds on the Fleet or spot usual Dorset wildlife through binoculars.

If you are ready for more energetic walks, you can head to the beautiful village of Abbotsbury situated a few miles towards the Isle of Portland.

Abbotsbury’s Abbey and Mute Swans Sanctuary & Sub-tropical gardens will make a great day out for everyone in the party to enjoy from children to elderly. A little tea room is within walking distance from the cottage following the path across the field, ideal for a cup of tea after a hearty walk.

There is a farm shop nearby, a supermarket and many other shops are a short drive away in Bridport. Mimosa is the perfect location to relax off the beaten track to the sounds of birds rather than sitting in traffic. Come and enjoy time away from your busy life at Mimosa Cottage.
