Greygles is a wonderful cottage in beautiful surroundings. Our group consisted of 6 adults (of varying ages) and an 8-month-old baby and all of us felt right at home. The two seniors were happy to take the bedroom downstairs and used the bathroom with the shower. The facilities provided for babies/children (cot, highchair and stair gate) were certainly satisfactory and in general, the accommodation is well-stocked (kitchen appliances, cooking utensils, towels, tourist books, dvds, washing liquid, dishwasher tablets, etc). Although the weather was slightly too chilly to sit outside often, there are supplies for the garden, too (parasol, table, etc). Even if you can't sit outside, the living room, dining room and two of the upstairs bedrooms look out over a large stretch of fields, which were full of linseed when we were there, colouring purple in the sunshine. Absolutely stunning! The cottage was very clean and tidy when we arrived and dustbins are provided in every room, as well as a vacuum cleaner, to make it easy to keep it that way. Checking in on our day of arrival was a breeze with the key box, which was also very convenient when our group went their separate ways for the day so the key could remain on-site. The owner was abroad during our stay, but he called us on the first day to make sure everything was in order and we had settled in nicely. We also had a lovely chat about local activities and must-sees. For any problems that might have occurred during our stay, he provided us with details of someone who lives close by. On the day before we left, he called again to hear how our stay had been. This was a very nice courtesy! Melcombe Bingham is a small village, but a great starting point for short and long walks alike, taking you through a varied landscape. It's also quite central for many day trips, either to the coast or further inland. We stayed at Greygles for 10 days and didn't get to see everything we wanted in the area, so there is a lot to do. There is a Brewery shop in the village, which can provide you with basic groceries, but there are supermarkets a short car ride away.

Thanks for a very comfortable stay.
Everything was very clean and it's been very effectively modernised. Lots of lighting for our hours spent reading whilst the weather blasted outside! Walkable to everywhere - the car didn't move in our 5 days. Could've done with a bit of grass for our well-trained dog to wee on, but otherwise v dog-friendly with good walks and friendly pubs nearby (tip: go north up the Rodwell Trail to find a big playing field within half a mile for off-lead fun). Hot tub lovely! Kingsize bed on the top floor was very creaky and squeaky (hopefully fixable) but everything else v well-maintained. The heating is *very* effective thank goodness (v wet and windy weather during our stay!) - though this also meant the very cosy duvets were too hot for us. Also the pillows were all v soft - one of us needs a firm pillow to help with snoring. We've noticed most hotels and cottages put a mix of pillow types on the beds these days, just in case! But these were tiny details and we'd happily stay again. Poor Weymouth currently lacks much to do in winter weather - other than the horrifically expensive Sealife there's currently no museum or cinema, and the only proper bookshop seems erratically half-open and poorly publicised (we only found it by accident at 66 Park St on the day we left). Very many of the old houses are now holiday cottages so perhaps we're part of the problem - not enough locals keeping the town going all year? Not enough employment out of season? Hopefully things will look up at some undefined point: museum due to reopen when? Pavilion promising to run films 'soon'? We couldn't find out. The pubs, hotels and shops seemed to cling on by their fingernails in Feb, yet it's a really lovely and well-preserved historic town that deserves so much more, with some lovely arts and crafts shops (and a good range of others). It has good trains and could boom like Brighton if it just got a bit more year-round investment. Fingers crossed for our next visit!

The property is lovely, comfortable and very well equipped (though it could do with a BBQ and a freezer).
We really appreciated the speed with which the local Lyme Bay holidays team addressed the issues with the en suite door and the shower in the main bathroom (wobbly loo seats remained outstanding). The only downsides from our perspective was the location and the levels on the outside space. I know this is down to the lay of the land so can't be helped, but the steps in/out of the property and around the garden are huge and the listing really should state this so that customers know it's not very elderly or child friendly before they book. The fact that there is no pavement on the road should also be mentioned as this makes walking to and from the town a health and safety risk for young and old as road users are not very pedestrian friendly! The listing also states that itâs ~0.5 m from shops, which is likely true BUT it doesn't mention that the walk to and from those shops involves an extremely steep hill, so again if your party contains young or old members be prepared to be driving back & forth into town to drop off or pick up as walking up the hill is likely not an option! Finally, again I know there is nothing you can do about this but the house is very close to a noisy road, and the noise is very invasive if you're not used to living by a road. The master bedroom faces the road and its very noisy with the window open when the traffic starts from 6am so again I think this is something potential customers need to know. In summary - it is a lovely property, well laid out, decorated and equipped but on balance I would only recommend for fit or able adults only, not for older customers or families with small children.

Impressed? Most definitely.
Words escape me. From the moment we viewed the Donkey Shed we ( a family of six ), knew we had to book it. The property is exactly as shown in the photos and is a real credit to the owners Max and Jackie. Perfectly located for exploring the coast, tourist attractions and much more. Have never seen such a spotlessly clean and well presented property. So well equipped, seclude, quiet and very relaxing, it is out of this world. As grandparents we travelled down with our family of four and were absolutely gobsmacked with the property on arrival. Our family have never stayed in a quality holiday let like this and they loved it. Due to some medical issues my wife and I had to return home mid week but left the family behind to enjoy the sunny weather and do lots of exploring. They enjoyed every day. Sadly we did not get to meet Max and Jackie but our family did and have said what a lovely couple they are. Although we did not meet face to face, the communication with Max and Jackie was the best we have ever had. Even since we arrived home they have contacted us with concern about my wifeâs health, 10 out of 10 for that and many thanks. Overall a perfect holiday accommodation and worth every penny. Thankyou Max and Jackie.

The cottage is situated in a lovely village with a great community pub and surrounded by beautiful landscape but conveniently close to beaches and Bridport.
So far, so good. Our problem with the house was that although relatively spacious and reasonably well -equipped, it was grubby and a bit shabby, and certainly not at the standard we'd expect for the price we paid for our week's stay. The shower wouldn't drain away, and the cubicle was mouldy, and we had to stop halfway through showering to prevent flooding (we noted that this was brought up by previous guests over a month before our visit).There was food beneath the microwave and mould in the bin. When we stripped the beds in the ground floor bedroom, there was mould on the wall in the corner. The carpets were stained, the skirtings dirty. The whole house could do with a really good clean, and it made staying there uncomfortable. Overall , we felt over-charged for the property of that style and condition. It's a shame because it could be really pretty, but it needs an overhaul.
