What our customers say about their holidays

Matthew - Verified booking

We were greeted to beautiful grounds.

We arrived slightly earlier the planed and when we arrived the cleaners kindly said they will call us to let us know when we could come back as she advised they would be finished earlier as the last guest had left the property clean so there wasnât much left to do!!!! They obviously donât deep clean the property after every guest stay it says it all!!!!! Cobwebs greeted you as you stepped into the property. A Grand entrance hall but as you walked in cobwebs everywhere in house. The kitchen area wasnât nice at all. The pictures donât do it any justice but it was worse. The Aga was absolutely filthy thick with grease and not clean at all. The oven in the corner was like something from dark ages and wasnât 100 percent presentable clean inside. We have rented numerous houses and normally you have some condiments like salt pepper etc but cupboards were bare & empty apart from plates cups glasses etc â¦No welcome pack! every place we have rented have always gone out there way with a lovely welcome pack of small gestures local produce like eggs or biscuits tea coffee etc . The kitchen utilities were a Health hazard ..Iâve taken a picture!! The dishwasher didnât work the whole time we were there and we texted and rang the property owner leaving voicemail not once did she make attempt to get back to us as we could also see she has read our messages. We were having to wash up non stop as you donât expect to read you have a dishwasher on the property and having to wash up everything on your holiday. We have been ripped off as this property for what you get inside is definitely Over priced and house just felt dirty tired. Showers not working properly ( one just trickle water) one shower room downstairs the door would get stuck and you couldnât get out which frightened our children who kept getting stuck . We all had to share the tiniest shower in the house between 9 of us. Curtains in rooms half hanging off rails and bedding was all creased not matching bedding either or presentable, when you pay a lot of money you expect to sleep in lovely bedding. One bedroom was literally thick with dust and had two single beds with one that was unstable and every time you moved on it , it made very loud noises as it was on its last legs ( we have picture prove of everything) and the curtain again hanging half off. One bedroom the mattress was so old thin springy you couldnât sleep on it and this was the only most presentable room too!!! The grounds outside was beautiful, tennis court fantastic, The games room was actually brilliant for the kids and the dining room was lovely big space as was the sitting room with a fireplace. each shower room all with issues. The owner didnât call us back or communicate with us which was absolutely unacceptable when youâve paid out a lot of expensive for this house. There was a book for guests to write in!! You could see pages has been ripped out as Iâm guessing they have removed these and only kept the good ones in!!!! We read the reviews before we decided to go ahead with this house thinking other guests were just being picky but all honesty they were right. It probably wouldnât be so bad for group of people who just want a stop pit to sleep in ( uncomfortably in some beds!!) go out but when your planning to stay in a property whole stay to relax for Easter bank hols this house definitely wasnt suitable.

There is much to like about Deer Leap Cottage, its wonderful grounds and amenities, not to mention the deer!

However, based on our experiences, there are a number of important issues which I feel I should share with others who might be considering booking. We were a party of 4 adults, 3 children aged 9, 4 and 17 months and a dog. A couple of weeks prior to our departure my daughter made a number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with you about the provision of equipment. There was never an answer or reply, so I used the online facility to request a high chair and a stair gate prior to our visit. When we arrived, a high chair without a tray was provided but no stair gate. We tried to make contact again immediately but again no answer or reply. We had to improvise with a make-shift clumsy and inconvenient workaround until a stair gate arrived. It never did, for the entire duration of our stay. Believe me, this is a big deal if you have a highly mobile toddler. If you donât have a stair gate or have no intention of providing one, then please donât pretend that you will, and make this clear in your pre-booking information so visitors can properly evaluate if the property will meet their needs. There was no pool code readily provided to us upon arrival as promised. Our neighbours in the main house kindly provided us with it from their information booklet. Our information booklet went undiscovered for a couple of days until we noticed it in an unmarked folder in an unexpected location. There is no WiFi in the main living accommodation of the cottage. This is a plain fact, not an opinion. Huddling up against the interconnecting door to the adjoining main house to tap into their WiFi does not cut it. As a consequence of no useable WiFi, access to the claimed Netflix and Sky services is not available, Freeview only. I notice that from previous reviews that this is an ongoing situation. If the subscription payments are being made you need to raise this with your service provider immediately. If you do not intend to rectify this then please be honest about it instead of accusing your guests of tampering with the equipment. Mid week, our neighbours kindly provided us with a high chair complete with a tray that they did not need after they heard about our difficulty using the provided one at meal times as it did not match the table height in the kitchen. On our final day of our holiday my wife finally tracked you down while you were visiting the main house, hoping to discuss our unresolved issues with you before leaving. When presented with our numerous unresolved issues (more than I have had space to communicate in this review), you declined to discuss these issues with us so my wife returned to the cottage for a couple of minutes to provide you with a written list. During the few minutes that it took for us to provide you with the list, you hastily departed from the premises, leaving it to the housekeeping staff to make your excuses that you had âneeded urgently to leave due to a sudden family crisisâ . We hope all is well with your family and I have deliberately delayed writing this review for a week in the hope that you might contact us with some explanations. None have been forthcoming. Based on our experience, we could not recommend staying at your holiday accommodation as we do not have confidence that you can deliver the service and provision that you advertise and accept full payment for.

The plus side is the location, beautiful setting, close to a wonderful pub and near to towns and beach.

The cottage has a lot of potential and the owner is very pleasant. But...the kitchen is very poorly equipped, 3 saucepans and two small baking trays, no frying pan, no grill rack, lots of empty cupboards. There is a decent sized fridge and a freezer (but no ice tray) no dishwasher which is desirable in this sized cottage. There is simply not enough catering equipment for 6 adults (potentially what the cottage can sleep). Being a self catering cottage you would expect to be able to adequately cater for the whole family, not in this case. I tried to speak to the owner but mobile signals are non-existent and when I tried to find the owners I was told they were at work, the children handed me a small frying pan. The single beds are extremely uncomfortable and creak every time you move, the pillows provided were very thin. Only one room had spare pillows for those of us who like two pillows each (a must if the pillows are this thin). We were provided with one small bath towel each, no hand towels in any of the rooms or the bathroom. Fortunately there were only 5 of us so we hand one extra towel and three of us had bought pool towels with us just in case we had a swim in the pool. The heating is controlled in the main house (where the owners live), there is no option in the cottage to switch it on or off. If the owners switch it on then you can turn it down at the thermostat or radiators. But if it off in the main house there is no heating in your cottage. Two of the bedrooms did not have any heating as the radiators did not work. A light in the kitchen kept flashing and we had to turn it off. This is a dog friendly cottage but understandably dogs are not allowed upstairs, with this in mind to keep the dogs downstairs there should be a stair gate or something to block the stairs. There is not enough seating in the lounge for 6 people unless you all sit upright and right next to one another on the sofa. The dining table in the lounge is not needed as there is sufficient dining area in the kitchen, the dining table could be replaced by two easy chairs. The weirdest thing were the connecting doors to the main house, downstairs is a door in the hallway which links to the kitchen of the owners house, it is an internal door and we could plainly hear them talking and moving around on the other side of the door, at one point I was aware of someone stood the other side listening to our conversation. Upstairs on the landing there is a similar internal door linking the cottage to the main house. Both doors had bolts on which prevented them from being opened from the main house but it was a really strange set up and made us feel uncomfortable.

The cottage was lovely and very well equipped, very clean and set in stunning grounds.

Hannah was on hand and responded to all messages, however there are some points I believe should be addressed as it did ruin our week. Deer Leap Cottage seems to come secondary to Deer Leap House (both properties attached) due to the size difference. Deer Leap House has seven bedrooms and as such there is space for 3 families or 14 sharing adultsâ¦.. Deer Leap Cottage has 3 bedrooms so 1 family or 6 sharing adults. Therefore those staying in Deer Leap House monopolise the pool (as in our case) and tennis courts etc. This was not clear when we booked. We paid for the use of the pool and other facilities but barely got to use them due to the other family. They did nothing wrong as they were using the facilities they paid for, which is what we SHOULD have been able to do! We got in the pool for about 1 hour in the evenings when the other families and children were out and 1 day when the other family left early. NOT what we paid for, I believe there should be a week-on / week-off rota for fairness. Had I been told I would be sharing a pool thatâs barely big enough for 5 adults with 15 strangers I would not have booked it. The pool is just is not big enough to accommodate that many people from 2 separate properties. Also anyone staying in Deer Leap House have to walk right passed the front of Deer Leap cottage to get to the pool. The other family kept apologising as we were trying to relax in the cottages garden. This is the only garden area for the cottage, Therefore you have absolutely no privacy, whereas the house does! Those walking passed also can see right into the lounge of the cottage as there are no net curtains so again no privacy. Perhaps a hedge or fence to protect privacy of those staying in the cottage would be an idea, or at the very least some net curtains. There was no parasol over the seating area of the cottage yet the house had parasols, garden swing seats etc. I did ask but did not get one so during the heatwave we had no parasol and no pool (as it was over run with the guests from the house). Therefore we sat indoors, not what we paid for! The joining doors in the cottage to the house are thin and you can hear everything. Sadly we had a family that was very loud at night, lots of screaming arguments and swearing, not the owners fault but quite frustrating. Although the listing does say the pool is shared its not explained very well. We feel quite let down, the property is not the cheapest due to the wonderful faculties on offer, sadly we just didnât get to use any as we would have liked due to the sheer numbers of the occupants in the house

We loved Deer Leap House.

It was set in the most beautiful grounds which we enjoyed walking around and exploring the woods just beyond. The lake was alive with beautiful fish. Lots of baby fish showing it to be a healthy breeding ground. The deer we saw in the early mornings and evenings were delightful. They werenât too shy and came quite close to the house at times and we were able to get some lovely photos of them. The house itself was more like a home than a letting house and was full of charm. It had lots of nice touches showing a thoughtfulness towards the guests. Loads of soft furnishings adding extra comfort. It was clean, tidy and warm upon arrival with fairy lighting wrapping the stairs and balcony giving it a nice feeling of welcome. We enjoyed free Wi-Fi, Broadband and Sky TV and the games room. The pool table was used a lot amongst all of us. We even used the record player to play a few LPâs one evening which took us back to the time of our wedding in 1973. The reason behind our family holiday. Magic. There were a few minor plumbing issues which need attention but they didnât detract from our stay nor our hopes that one day we could return for another stay. We were able to enjoy the pool on several occasions. It did need a clean at the bottom of the deep end but we were unable to use the hoover to sweep it as the hoover was broken. As the rest of the pool was very clean it was not a problem and more likely to have been a recent occurrence or just simply a build up it being towards the end of the season. We all loved the pool. We would recommend Deer Leap House if you want a real homely stay in a beautiful part of Dorset. Donât expect top end corporate luxury instead expect a real nice family home feel. The owner has made every effort to ensure that anyone who stays can enjoy a wealth of comfort and entertainment. Space for everyone is premium and was especially enjoyed by our four legged family members. I would definitely recommend Deer Leap House and would dearly love to revisit it again. Thank you to the owner for sharing your lovely house with us.
