• "We absolutely loved our stay at Dairy Cottage."

  The house is lovely, clean and well located. It’s so quiet there, but really easy to get everywhere. Abbotsbury is lovely with lots of things to do. We spent a day on Burton Bradstock beach (15 mins away). The Subtropical Gardens are well worth a visit. We didn’t realise, but the bedrooms all have blackout blinds as well as curtains. As a parent, this is brilliant! Our children slept so well! The garden is lovely, and well set up for relaxing at the table whilst the children ran around. The house was really clean and had everything you could need to cook pretty much any meal! There’s also children’s plates etc which is a nice touch. Really dog and family friendly. We will definitely be back!

• "Excellent holiday home."

  Lovely rural location which was very peaceful (don’t be put off by the ‘working farm’ description!), although worth saying it’s quite a long fairly bumpy track to get to the house. Very easy key collection from key box. Every room was very tastefully decorated, with all the facilities you could want and very clear instructions for all of them. We have a toddler so were very pleased to have a highchair, cot and stairgate all provided, and it was very helpful that there is a door at the bottom of the stairs that you can close too. Very nice garden and outdoor seating area, although it was a bit too cold to enjoy that fully. Comfy beds and pillows, good shower, and lovely to have local biscuits, coffee and milk on arrival. (Tea bags and instant coffee also provided.) Only suggestions would be to make one of the bathroom doors less stiff as it was very difficult to close, and the directions could be slightly improved, I.e specifying the road name for one of the final turnings approaching from Dorchester (Litton Road) and the fact that the last turning is signed for Ashley Chase Estate Office.

• "We had a great stay at Dairy cottage over the Christmas break."

  The house has been tastefully decorated and renovated, the beds were really comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The garden was also beautiful and the area so quiet. If I could suggest any changes to the letting for future it would be to look at your internet providers as this was incredibly slow for a family of 6 and the smart TV would not connect. We therefore only had terrestrial TV over the Christmas period which was a shame. I also think it would be helpful if the instructions to gain access to the property were updated, including discussing the green ‘Ashley farm estate office sign’ as you turn by the house, it’s a good point of reference. We enjoyed our time and would recommend to others, thank you.

• "I would highly recommend Dairy Cottage."

  It is spacious, beautifully presented, well equipped and extremely comfortable. We had a fabulous long weekend with family, for my husband's 60th birthday. It was a perfect place to celebrate. Many thanks.

• "The property itself was lovely & of a high standard, however there was no meet & greet & no contact number available for owners so when I had a problem over the weekend I had to wait for Sykes to open 9am Monday morning & was without WiFi & TV till that was resolved."

  Steps out of property dangerous when wet & I had a nasty fall from them & being on my own was a nasty incident. Very remote & this isn’t made clear on advertisement & difficult to find even with satnav. Not up to Sykes usual standards compèred with all the other rural properties I have stayed in.

• "The cottage has been carefully and imaginatively adapted as a holiday cottage and we enjoyed the views and peace."

  In the summer I imagine that it would be even better to sit out for a meal (we had tea in chilly October). The directions could be sharper, eg. lane marked Ashley Close Estate office leads to cottage or an OS map reference.

• "The cottage itself was lovely, everything was well equipped."

  Really did like the place. Comfort rating have had to give lower as 3 of the 4 people staying said the beds were hard and uncomfortable and did not get a good night's sleep. Unfortunately would not recommend to family/friends staying here and would not stay here again myself purely based on the roads getting in and out. Was extremely anxious driving the roads, and twice had to reverse a long way back up a hill because of a tractor coming the other way. I realise it is on a working farm, but this really terrified me and had to make sure was back before it got dark every night because of the roads. Therefore I would not book here again despite liking the place because of the difficulty getting in and out of the roads both ways.
