“Lovely location and good value for money.”

The house has 3 good size bedrooms with lovely views over the Bride Valley. It was very good to be able to bring our dog and there are some easy walks nearby.

The house has 3 good size bedrooms with lovely views over the Bride Valley. It was very good to be able to bring our dog and there are some easy walks nearby. The Crown pub was in walking distance and had friendly staff and local ales. The garden is landscaped nicely and there is a playground behind the property.. The lack of wi fi has been commented on by others so we were not expecting this to be available,.

“Ideal cottage for four of us, all adults.”

Handy location for getting about Dorset. Despite what the listing says towels were included.

Miss Mcdonald July 2021

“The cottage is in a lovely spot with great views.”

It is basic but fairly well equipped. I don't understand why WiFi is not available. The garden is overgrown with brambles and other perennial weeds, it could do with a sort out. It's a real shame as there is so much potential to make this a perfect holiday cottage.

Ms Pidgeon July 2021

“Nice cottage, very clean and comfortable.”

The only minor issue (and obviously we knew about it before staying) is the 1 bathroom/toilet per 5 people. It isn't really a big problem but people need to be aware. Great garden for sitting out and eating out in. Lots of facilities such as dishwasher, washing machine, freezer, bread maker etc. Good friendly pub (The Crown) in close walking distance. Parking for our 2 cars outside. Very enjoyable holiday.

“We had another enjoyable time at the house again BUT: ...”

We had another enjoyable time at the house again BUT: The shower needs replacing - incredibly noisy, poor flow and limited articulation of the shower head Updated information about the area - still mentioning a shop in the pub Base for the garden umbrella - we had to lash a support together New frying pans - the centre of some of the pans has been cleaned down through the non-stick coating New sealant needed at the bottom of the shower glass door - towel needed on the floor to mop up Washing up bowl - push down plug in the sink doesn't fit properly now allowing water to escape while washing up New garden gate bolt - difficult to open/close gate Hedging around the garden gate needs cutting back

“Just need wifi”

“I was surprised there were no tea towels in the property.”

I appreciate there was a dishwasher but tea towels would have been appreciated! The property was very comfortable and warm and it was very good to have keys to both front and back doors.

Mrs Stone September 2020

“Not the most up-to-date cottage but the wonderful location in the beautiful Bride Valley made the holiday for us.”

- Mrs Stone, September 2020
Mr Bennett August 2020

“Good location, not far from Bridport for shops, restaurants and Morrison’s.”

Also a nice pub in the village which was still closed while we were there but was hoping to open soon. Has good reports for food etc (our week 22/8/20 to 29/8/20). Lyme Regis, Swanage, Weymouth etc not far away and Bournemouth is reachable.

- Mr Bennett, August 2020
Mr Connolly August 2020

“A lovely cottage in a quiet village with beautiful views across fields and valley.”

Short trip in car to west Bexington beach for beach walks. Comfortable and spacious it has all the usual amenities you’ll need for a family break. And there’s quite a few great restaurants and pubs close by. The cottage sits on a quiet lane. A lovely garden at back and access to playing fields beyond that - great if you have young kids.

- Mr Connolly, August 2020
Mrs Macdonald July 2020

“The location of this property is great.”

Lovely neighbours, park directly behind the cottage. Lots of beautiful walks directly from the front door. Beaches within a very short drive. The beds were extremely comfortable and lots of appliances in the cottage e.g bread maker, steamer, washer/dryer which are all handy. On the whole the cottage was all right but it needs maintenance to bring it up to a better standard. The shower was fine and working but the water flow was very weak.

- Mrs Macdonald, July 2020
Mrs Little August 2019

“We found that some of the cutlery and mugs were dirty on arrival.”

The mattress on my bed in the twin room was upside down so I spent the first night sleeping on springs! The information files were tucked down the side of the microwave instead of being somewhere more visible, so we didn't see them until our last day. We felt the cottage was poor value.

- Mrs Little, August 2019
Mrs Houghton July 2019

“Beautiful setting and a fabulous park behind the house that our children loved.”

We felt the house itself lacked a few homely comforts and did not have wifi as advertised at the time of our booking. If you sleep very lightly, beware of the neighbours TV as it disturbed my sleep on several occasions. All in all, a fab area which we will visit again but perhaps not whilst staying at this cottage.

- Mrs Houghton, July 2019
Mrs Fay June 2019

“Unfortunately there was no WiFi as advertised, this was a bit disappointing as champions league final was on - phone call made to Skye’s who updated the add showing no WiFi as the cottage never had WiFi.”

The garden was disappointing as overgrown with weeds and also some large thorn branches hanging over the cheap plastic garden furniture which was uncomfortable - few little tweaks and the cottage would be fabulous as the views and location are excellent. If these changes were made we would Certainly consider returning.

- Mrs Fay, June 2019
Mr Whiteside Sep 2017

“All arrangements went smoothly, impressed with the cottage, would use you again – stayed August 2017”

- Mr Whiteside, Sep 2017
Mr Hitchen Feb 2015

“Lovely cottage with superb views over the valley.”

Excellent place to stay for our Grand daughters christening in the village (extended family live in the village). As usual the Landlady in the Crown pub was welcoming. We will stay again at some point. - Mr Hitchen - Stayed February 2015
