“This is a delightful, attractively presented property in an idyllic village, quiet but centrally situated to explore most of Dorset easily.”
We would love to return. Our visit was during a very warm week in May so we did not have to use the heating. Nor did we use the oven or dishwasher so cannot comment on those.
Just a few minor points: an anti-slip mat for the shower would be safer, especially for us older types; the contents of the blue information folder could do with some updating as some of the information seems to relate to the Covid era.

Just a few minor points: an anti-slip mat for the shower would be safer, especially for us older types; the contents of the blue information folder could do with some updating as some of the information seems to relate to the Covid era. For example there are contradictory instructions about what to do with the bedding when guests leave (compared with the information on the website). In one place it says you can check in at 2pm but I think the Sykes standard is 3pm. The microwave was easy to figure out but the instructions relate to the previous model.
The bin pedal is broken.
Previous reviewers have commented on parking. In our limited, week long experience we were usually able to park away from the telegraph pole, but still outside the property to allow service vehicles passage on the narrow road. Perhaps this varies from month to month.
Thank you very much for your feedback and we are pleased upi are happy with our lovely cottage. I am sorry you felt the check in time was uncertain, you are correct in that Dream Cottages standard time is 3.00 pm. The instructions for the bedding, which is in our on site details, is that since the Covid issue, we would request quests to remove the sheets from the bed and place in the laundry bag. This procedure , although started during the Covid era is still in place, and as such not an outdated request. We have taken on board your other comments and appreciate this feedback which has enabled us to review some issues.
