Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews indicate a need for improvement in cleanliness, with mentions of mud, cobwebs, and dirt under furniture. However, the property is generally considered reasonable, especially as it accommodates pets.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and convenient access to local sights, with many guests enjoying the estate's walks and proximity to the Jurassic coast.
The beds are described as comfortable, and recent updates like new sofas are appreciated. However, some guests find the sofas and temperature control less satisfactory, affecting the overall comfort.
Facilities like a smart TV, Wi-Fi, and a powerful shower are well-received, but issues with a broken dishwasher, mix-matched utensils, and the need for better heating in winter suggest room for maintenance improvements.
The welcome pack and games for children are mentioned positively, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

We enjoyed the walks around the estate and the welcome pack was a nice touch. Excellent shower and playroom area for children plus lots of games which was a very thoughtful touch and much appreciated by our 7 year old! The only issue we had was heat - it was a chilly February weekend and despite extra fan heaters, it was really cold at night. No extra blankets provided and an extremely thin duvet for a winters holiday. The bed was very uncomfortable and we woke rather exhausted instead of rested. As we donât get much chance to get away, it was a bit of a disappointment. Am sure the cottage is stunning in the summer months and a real treasure.

!! Comfy bed and spacious living area. Cleanliness could be improved but reasonable considering it's a dog friendly place
