Eweleaze

We love this little cottage, that is why we keep returning, it is so peaceful, beautiful surroundings and an excellent location.

It is rustic enough to make us feel comfortable when we return from a hike. Everything is as we would want it to be.

Ewelease is a charming rustic place, very basic, had No problems or issues with the accommodation.

Quirky, Tranquil, Cosy, just Peaceful, no people cars or noise .Perfect for solitude, brill wildlife, family of chiff chafs, two Greater spotted woodpeckers and many garden birds. Can see the sea from your kitchen table. Swannery an sub tropical gardens both SUPERB, joint ticket cheaper. Hardys monument, location and history enlightening, 360 degree vision. Will return SOON.

It is basic but has everything you need to have a great stay.

We love coming here because of the location and the peace and quiet. The surrounding countryside is stunning and it's just a short stroll down to the sea. The shower did need a bit of fiddling with to make it stay in a usable position. Also the driveway down to the property just gets worse every year, particularly the potholes at the road end and the difficulty in seeing if any traffic is coming from the right when you leave.

The photos and desciption of the cottage and location badly need updating.

Photos at least 15 years old. On turning into the farm theres great chunks of roadway missing, which makes it hard to turn right out of the gate. The drive through the farm was was quite hit and miss in places. Understandable as i know farming life is a very busy one but the cost of the cottage for the week is not in keeping with the place. The views of the sea were nearly none existent from the cottage, hidden behind trees and bushes, had to stand on a chair to take pictures. Cottage grubby throughout, bath, windows, windowsills, plenty of spiders. The attached barn for sitting in was so dirty and smelt of cat wee, so couldnt use that. No plug in the bath, or doesnt fit, no rubber seal on it, cold tape in the bath doesnt work, shower head is floppy, no plug in the bathroom sink. Hairs in the bath. The decking description says new but at least 10 years old. It was so dirty my sister had to brush it. No sunbeds out, (unlike photos) in the barn covered in dirt and going a bit rusty, no umbrella out, this was in the barn and full of snails, my sister cleaned all these too. The freezer compartment in the top of the fridge was useless, we should have checked it before buying ice cream and frozen peas, so that is on us. It was all frosted up so you couldnt get anything in it, we scraped out what we could but nothing stayed frozen in there and we ended up chucking the ice cream away. Definately not good value for the money we paid. We watched the cleaner come to clean the other cottage after the other couple left on the Friday and she was in there for all of 45 minutes before she left again, how can you clean a cottage in that short time.

It was an accurate description and we enjoyed the natural seclusion of the cottage.

It's well situated for access to Chesil Beach and the nature reserve.

Despite the storm we had a lovely weekend.

It was peaceful and comfortable and provided everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable too. Would definitely return

Perfect away from it all holiday!

Very peaceful and quiet, something what we were looking for. Close to the beach, which was nearly empty all the time. It is not a luxury cottage, so not for everyone. Good for dogs, but the garden is not fenced. The only thing we didn't find in the cottage was a dustpan. Beds very comfortable, I wish I knew what brand of mattress was in the bedroom. Yes - we would come back and yes - we would recommend

We had a good week and spent most of it out and about.

Finding eweleaze was not easy due to an error in the instructions the oversized number is 31 not 33. The accommodation is ok but the large number of extension leads for electrical appliances was concerning. Had we used the wood burner there was no guard around it making it dangerous if children are about. The area around the house is lovely and so quiet and the field down to the beach was perfect for our spaniel to run around in. All in all we enjoyed our holiday and revisited lots of places.

The setting can’t be faulted, perfect for dog owners, such easy access to the beach with out touching the road.

The clubhouse for a meal is lovely and also dog friendly, the fish and chips gorgeous, the only down side I found was the steps down from the double bedroom, if you are a bit unsteady on your feet they could present a challenge. A beautiful area and the accomodation suited our needs, loved the fig framing the entrance to the garage. Apart from the drive down from where I live I would certainly come again. So peaceful and quiet. Thankyou

In the past we have found Sykes cottages to be of a high standard, so I'm not sure how this cottage made it on to your books.

It is in a lovely location and has a nice sitting out area, but the property is in sore need of attention. Although just about clean enough, a lot of the furniture is grubby and rickety, particularly the dining chairs and the outside furniture. Fortunately we are both fairly lightweight. The cutlery and crockery are well past their best and there is a worrying old fashioned light switch just above the kitchen sink. A lot of the electric points are provided through use of extension leads. The entrance to the property through the untidy barn garage could be considered as quirky but old 3 piece suites lying around are never a pleasant sight. We didn't mind the very overgrown garden too much, but I think some people would object and the plants growing round the house walls obscured the view through the windows. There was no mention in the property details that I could see about the fact that visitors may need £1 coins to top up the meter. We didn't need to do this, but in cold weather I think it might be necessary. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom just about satisfactory. We don't think this property represented value for money and will think twice about using Sykes in the future.
