Barton Cottage

My stay at Barton Cottage provided me with the oasis that I needed.

The cottage was cosy & had everything to make me feel ‘at home’.A special touch with the cream tea & flowers made a good welcome for me. My dog was happy & we enjoyed short walks near the property & were spoilt for choice for our afternoons out- Lyme Regis was our top choice! I am happy to endorse these comments & would stay again in the future.. Sara

I emailed you from the cottage.

Incredibly dissatisfied with the location and condition. Had we known it was right next to the A35 we would not have booked. Two nights unable to sleep due to the incessant noise from cars speeding down the A35, it went on throughout the night. Mould in the bathroom and a general air of neglect. The general state of the cottage left a lot to be desired. Has anyone from Sykes been to check it out.....? We have an annex at our Hampshire home and consistently get 10 out of 10 from guests, Barton cottage would rate three at best on our scale Will not be recommending this to anyone, Its an incredible disappointment given that it was a 60th birthday surprise for me fiancé. Someone from your company needs to visit this cottage and ask themselves would they pay the amount we have paid. Is there a way of sending pictures of mould, please advise We feel cheated and feel a refund would be appropriate Sincerely

I should of read the listing more closely and I would of realised that the cottage was on two levels.

I have a spine injury that makes stairs very difficult and painful for me so I probably would not of booked it. This is not the cottage fault but me not taking enough time over the advert. The cottage itself is finished to a very good standard, with a modern kitchen and ground floor toilet and shower room. It is a bit tight on space in places but for the two of us it was perfectly OK. The main road that you have to cross to turn into the property if you are coming from Bridport is a bit of a challenge as it is busy with fast traffic, in fact i drove past to where the dual carriageway started and there is a slip road to turn right which I found safer. Overall the cottage is of a good standard and well maintained.

i actually took things like washing up liquid & tea towels etc but that was all there as well as tea & coffee, milk and a very nice cream tea.

the cottage is just off the road making it very handy for both the Bridport & Dorchester directions. I had the bedroom window open all night and i wasn't disturbed by traffic noise, you can hear it but it isn't terrible. It is cozy and the enclosed front garden kept my dog safe. The host is nearby if you do need anything and is very friendly and so i would recommend as a good base for exploring the Dorset coast.

This cottage is just about OK for two but for four it would be uncomfortable.

The downsides were: Awful smell of damp in the bathroom Lumpy beds and pillows Minimum kitchen equipment, crockery etc As warned, the traffic noise is bad outside so not very relaxing. Inside it is less audible.

We had such a lovely stay!

Perfect location and facilities. Cream tea on arrival and supplies for the dog were a really thoughtful touch.

We had a lovely stay at Barton Cottage.

The cream tea and card made us feel very welcome. Although the cottage was near a busy main road it was quiet inside the cottage. The cottage was equipped with all the amenities for a comfortable stay.

Lovely to find afternoon tea provided, a welcoming card and all the basics (washing up liquid, toilet rolls etc).

A heated towel rail might be a useful addition. The cottage was exactly as described and met all our needs.

My friends and I enjoyed our short stay at Barton Cottage but found that there were several things absent which can be so easily provided.

I will email the owner as I am also a Sykes cottage owner.

Lovely little cottage,beautiful views.

was made better by a lovely welcome card and cream tea

Barton Cottage was comfy, convenient to see our friends and well worth a visit.

Positioned high with views of the sunset, close to the coast including Chesil Beach. We were made very welcome by the owners and thoroughly enjoyed the special treat left for us on arrival. Thankyou.

Thank you,great holiday.

Lovely location Ken

Lovely little cottage just a few minutes away to Bridport.

Thank you

Super accommodation and hosts.

Beautiful surrounding countryside and views of Dorset.The only downside is the closeness to the main road.

Lovely little cottage.

Thanks for the cider, scones and milk- very appreciated!

Stayed for long weekend, absolutely loved it, Weather wasn't great but still had walks in the fields adjoining the property owners really friendly and helpful, very clean, compact bedrooms, but really comfortable beds, very quiet for good night sleep.

Beaches only 10 minutes drive away, would definitely go back for longer stay, lovely little cottage, lovely part of the country. Beaches are great for fishing, caught 2 big bass for dinner. Angling shop in west bay very helpful, and seagull restaurant also west bay, great food again very friendly. whole weekend 10/10 even with the, unlucky weather.

great little cottage if you want a bit of peace and quite.

It has all the things you need in the cottage. It is great spot if you want to get places like Monkey world & Tank museum.

Main road noisy but we were out most of the day. Cottage well equipped and supermarket close by. Found a lovely pub nearby, very welcoming and we could take our dog.

What a lovely cottage and even more lovely owners.

I can see us coming back every year or several times a year for just a reprieve from the daily grind. It was perfect for our family of three and our pug. Very dog and kid friendly with lots of space for walking. Amazing sunsets and views overall and just a short distance in the car to several great beaches. We absolutely enjoyed our time here.
