    • Carol - Verified booking

      Lovely cottage away from it all.

      Very comfortable, had pretty much everything we needed, lots of room. So very quiet and the lack of light pollution made night time stargazing a pleasure. Local pub within walking distance (you'll need to take a torch and brace yourself for the uphill climb on the way back) but the cottage has everything you need in the kitchen (nearly - couldn't find a corkscrew but luckily we came prepared!) to cater for yourselves. It was a perfect base for going out to other places in the car - Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Bridport amongst others without getting caught up in single track roads with oncoming tractors. The coast was within walking distance if you're an energetic sort with plenty of stamina. Lovely views as you come out of the top of the road from the cottage. We would recommend visiting Nothe Fort and the WW2 Museum in Weymouth, Bridport was nice little town for wandering around. Lyme Regis was very lovely, if you want to look for fossils, do check the tide times before you go to avoid disappointment (this also goes for Charmouth) lots of interesting shops in Lyme Regis, fossils obviously but tasty bakeries and specialist deli/drink shops, arts and crafts type shops. Depending on where you park, it is all uphill but stopping off at all the interesting shops takes the strain out of it. Back to the cottage.... getting back after a long day out was like going home. The security light comes on as you park up to welcome you home, the cottage is warm and cosy (and yet there is no heating on - may be an issue in the height of summer unless there are fans brought in at that time?), the settee is like a nice warm hug - all good quality and comfortable furniture throughout. There are two showers/toilets. The upstairs one doesn't have enough oomph for a quick in and out shower but the downstairs one is very powerful. Oddly, neither room has a lock on the door. Fine if you're just a couple or there with your children but unnerving if you're a group friends. I don't normally take a hairdryer with me but just happened to on this occasion. Glad I did as I didn't come across one in the week we were there. Also, the notes we were sent after booking said that we would need to supply our own tea towels and oven gloves, this we did but needn't have bothered as everything was there already. Washing up liquid, laundry detergent, cleaning cloths were all there, you only need to bring your own if you need to know exactly what brand/ingredients are involved. More generous than most with the toilet paper too - a new one on the holder and another in the cupboard in both bathrooms. I note on an earlier review that they had difficulty accessing the key in the security box. We had the same issue but you just need a key or a coin to push the black catch down, it's too fiddly for fingers. All in all, it was a lovely stay and we would use it again if visiting the area.

      Bell cottage is a lovely small quirky cottage that unfortunately sits in a not too brilliant position.

      Location isn’t great as it’s hemmed in by other big buildings and a big conversion is being carried out currently on the property opposite into an 11 flat house of multiple occupancy. Work began at 7 am and continued all day with the accompanying noise and comings and going’s. Obviously this is only temporary but it impacted my stay. The cottage smelt faintly doggy when I arrived and every time I returned..I’m not a dog person ,and this may not bother those who are. Despite that the cleanliness was absolutely fine. Good kitchen facilities..everything was perfect....slight issue with fire starter pack not being available that was quickly sorted with discussion with the owner..I hadn’t read the small print that this isn’t provided after the end of March...but the weather still being very cold at night I managed to buy some fuel from the nearby coal merchant Roger, who was most helpful. TV.....a major issue.....some expensive kit but no normal TV channels without going through a long winded laborious process using various app’s BBC’s I player, you tube etc....all a bit too complicated to even bother with. All in all..a nice cottage but spoiled for me mainly by the location...a tiny yard at the rear and nowhere outside at the front to sit..but I can’t blame anyone for that..it’s just the nature of this particular property. Thanks anyway...enjoyed the few days overall.

      Wonderful Cottage The cottage is very quiet and private with the nearest building being about a mile away.

      The cottage had a large open plan kitchen/living/dining room, but very homely with the furniture, pictures, vases of flowers, etc. Upstairs there is a landing/mezzanine area with seating over looking the garden/fields, which was great to sit and have a coffee. There is a family bathroom and two large bedrooms. Personally, we did not find the double bed comfortable and could feel the springs in the mattress when lying on the bed. The cottage had pretty much everything you would need. There was no dishwasher, but that was not an issue, there was clean bedding, lots of towels, an iron, an ironing board, a hoover, etc! If I were to moan about anything then it would be attention to detail on the cleaning, given the cost I would of expected it to be spotless, however, there were LOTS of cobwebs and spiders suggesting it had been shut up for a while or not cleaned thoroughly, the cottage it in the middle of farm fields so you expect things like spiders, but would not of expected so many on arrival to greet us! The floor downstairs is in desperate need of a good mop, I cleaned up some water I spilt and the cloth was black! Would be good if there had been to trivets to put hot pans, we managed as you do, but worried if someone put a hot pan on the worktop it would damage it. All in all a lovely stay and would stay again and recommend to others. Thank you!

      What an amazing cottage and location.

      Our 2 granddaughters (aged 6 and 9) when they arrived with their parents were just so overwhelmed on seeing the cottage and they loved their bedroom. Lots of games for them and us to play. Both TV's had great reception and easy to use. WiFi great. Beds all so comfy and the white towels so fluffy. It got chilly and the log burner was just ideal for the cosy evenings. The kitchen.....what a great place to cook and such a sociable area, especially with the large vintage dining table. Thank you so just for the welcoming hamper, which was amazing, Spike the dog says thank you too. The cottage was clean and so welcoming. We loved the Velux windows in our bedroom and looking at the stars at night and the Tawny owl was a delight. Only a few minor problems.....we had a problem with no hot water,but,was quickly resolved by phoning Kev and within an hour all was good, thank you Kev. On arrival we noticed a few mugs which was badly tea/coffee stained. Dishwasher needed salt. Also, the ensuite shower grip was still broken, even after 2 other reviews had reported this problem but, we still managed all good. Would we go back.....ABSOLUTELY. Its such a wonderful cottage and we had a fantastic time, so close to lots of beaches and places to visit. Thank you again to Kev and his team.

      The Barn is just lovely!

      We found it easily and loved that it was in such a rural spot and yet so close to the village and everything we wanted in the surrounding area. It is well equipped - we especially liked the comfy sofas! Thoughtfully furnished and decorated - we loved the seating area on the balcony overlooking the beautiful countryside. The Barn is within very easy reach of all the Jurassic coastline has to offer and we enjoyed visits to West beach, Eype, Bridport, the Isle of Portland and ventured a bit further out to the Purbeck area to visit Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove. A couple of suggestions which the owners may like to consider: some comfortable outdoor chairs would be a real bonus; if there is a way to boost the water pressure upstairs it would be helpful as the shower has very little power (there were only two of us so we just used the downstairs one which was fine); over time your stock of teaspoons has been depleted (leaving only three!); perhaps a suggestions book so that visitors can leave tips for future guests. All in all we had a wonderful stay and will definitely consider returning to sample more of what Dorset has to offer.
