Waterston Cottage

When we arrived er found that the grill pan had not been cleaned.

I sent an email about it and they got the cleaner to come round that day and clean it. To be fair this should really have been done by the previous people who left it in that state. It felt like everything had been done on the cheap. No toiletries apart from soap, only 4 dishwasher tablets for a week long stay, cheap washing up liquid and toilet paper. I could go on.

I'm disappointed, the property itself is very nice in a good location but was grubby.

The French doors had lots of dirty marks inside & out, there was a white mark & a biro mark on the sofa, the velux window in the master bedroom is filthy & needs cleaning, the shower caddies we're dirty & 1 had an old bar of soap in it, all 4 toilet brush holders were rusty & the brushes themselves brown, the saucepans were tired & dirty, the grill pan had grease in it & the rack was filthy, the kettle needs descaling, the hoover stinks of dog. We washed a few bits but due to the lack of cleaning products could not do anymore unless we purchased products ourselves. I was suprised there was no visitors book which I thought was a legal requirement. Finally the welcome pack was a waste of time, best not to bother. We have photographs should you wish to see them.

Very pleased with this place and would recommend as a holiday home

The house is situated in a picturesque village in Dorset, just a short stroll from the stunning Lulworth Cove, making it an ideal base for exploring the region.

This modern three-storey terrace, however, is somewhat overshadowed by its unkempt front garden, which contrasts sharply with the well-maintained neighbouring properties. While the interior is clean and the two parking spaces are conveniently located, the rear garden lacks charm, featuring hard surfaces and weeds, with little shade; a parasol would enhance the outdoor experience. The bathrooms are stocked with hand wash, but the portions are disappointingly minimal, 1cm per bottle and the same goes for the washing-up liquid. Guests receive only four dishwasher tablets for a week-long stay, and the absence of shower gel is surprising, especially for a property marketed as four-star. Overall, the house could benefit from additional comforts and conveniences to truly meet standards.

Out 2nd stay at Waterstones cottage.

We had another fantastic holiday.Excellent location stunning walks at the back of the house to the coastal road and the cove.

The property was brilliant!

Lovely clean spacious rooms, comfortable beds, easy parking and in a fantastic location. We loved that you could access the coastal footpaths directly from the cottage and enjoyed walking up to see the view of Lulworth Cove in the evenings. My only feedback, as we stayed for two weeks, is that it would have been nice to have clean sheets and towels to change with halfway through. A few more basic cleaning items would have been helpful too. Overall, we would definitely recommend and return to this property in the future.

Lovely cottage, great postion, well equipped, only two small issues, when we arrived there were two stains on the lounge mat from a dog, didn't smell, so old be one needs replacing.

It was very sunny when we arrived, so a garden parasol and a couple of sun loungers would have made the stay perfect. But we would definitely come again 9/10.

Dog poo was left in the garden.

Garden is a death trap for children - the retaining wall needs railings urgently - would not recommend this holiday let to anyone with young children. Rear gate cannot be bolted - young children can escape easily if not constantly watched Good to leave some salt and pepper (normally included in holiday lets) Otherwise, house was great! Sorry to moan.

As four friends visiting Dorset we were delighted with the peaceful location and the house.

It was pristine and had 3 lovely bathrooms and only 2 minutes from the pub and a pleasant 10 minute walk to Lulworth Cove. Ideal! All was well until we needed to open bedroom windows. None of which would open so consequently we had an uncomfortable first night as it was so warm. Also the patio doors would not lock. The phone number given did not allow options for reporting an issue ( why not?) so I emailed the next morning.I was contacted half an hour later and the helpful property manager said he would visit the property which he did. Apparently,he contacted us during the day but neither my friend or I received a voice mail or message so on returning I emailed again as apart from the patio doors the other windows still would not open. The manager phoned and told me how to unhook “the safety catch” which worked so a comfortable night! On the last day after shutting the windows for security they would not open again so another hot and frustrating night as it was too late to email again.The windows that had keys would not open either. I.e. in the top bedroom and the twin room. I hope that this issue is solved for the next guests as it was just ridiculous. On another note, we met the lovely cleaner on the way out and she commented that we should have had a welcome pack?? Is that so as I am not aware we were asked to request one if required. 13.5 tog duvets are not suitable for the summer months and when stripping the beds we noticed there was only a sheet on top of the mattress in the 1st floor double room. Not very hygienic! Due to these issues I cannot give the property 5 stars that it really deserves.

A lovely immaculate property situated very conveniently for all the must-see attractions (car needed for most of them).

Good food provided by great pub within walking distance from the cottage. Lovely quiet location with walks at the back of the property (steep walk) with an enclosed garden in a sunny spot. We'd definitely stay there again.

Great time and perfect for our stay.

Lovely property great location would definitely return to stay here again.

The house was lovely - bigger than we expected - bright, clean and very comfortable.

It was cold though until the morning we were leaving and we could not adjust the temperature downstairs. Another couple of throws would have been beneficial. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend.

We rerally enjoyed the break at Waterston Cottage, directions and entry information all spot on.

There was a lot a post / junk mail behind the door when we arived, not sure how long this had been there. Other than this th e property was loverly and clean, and all as per the listing, with fantaistic view over the field with lots of spring lamps. This is a great location less 5 mins walk to the local pub which was very welcoming, 10 minutes to local shop, 15 minutes to Lulworth cove. We could have done with some more specific heating control information albeit manage to sort out the ground floor heating, but could not get the upperfloors to work off the timed control, had to use the hold function.

Lovely property in a really great location.

Everything was spotless and the cottage was well equipped. We will definitely return to stay again very soon.

Absolutely fabulous house, spotlessly clean, everything looks new.

Lovely location for sightseeing and plenty of very good restaurants. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic house, everything brand new and clean and only a short walk to Lulworth Cover and all of its wonderful facilities!

Fantastic property in a great location we really enjoyed our stay.

Couple of minor things that would help guests enjoy their stay even more would be 1) a couple of coffee cups that fit the coffee machine 2) some reusable plastics (cups, plates and tupperwares) that could be taken down to the beach 3) a washing line to dry off wetsuits etc. These are minor things as the property really was fantastic, one of the best we’ve stayed at.
