“Great Location - Great Property!”

Thank you for choosing to stay at Dormouse and providing your feedback . We appreciate your positive comments and are pleased you enjoyed your stay. - Sykes owner relations
Mr Beard October 2019

“Following two previous excellent cottage bookings through yourselves, Dormouse Cottage was disappointing !”

1) Traffic noise from the road alongside was continual from early morning until late evening. 2)As we arrived in October, we would have thought that the heating would have been pre-set. The only available heating was the electric heater in the lounge (under a deep layer of dust) - hence the cottage was cold. 3)The wash basin in the bathroom was blocked so we had to wash in the kitchen. 4)We found overall the cottage to be cold, noisy & not at all cosy.

Dear Mr Beard Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I'm sorry the cottage was cold upon your arrival, but I would like to point out that there are convector heaters in every room which once turned on make the cottage vey cosy. We will look into the issue of the bathroom basin and action accordingly. Sykes owner relations

“Fab location, lovely clean cottage, few things that need to be actioned kitchen tap hard to turn off as continual drip, thin bath mat after one shower was wet for next person to step onto, no hand towel for bathroom, no spare light bulb for front room light above t.”

V that had blown, large weeds outside front of the house shame but first impressions count!

Dear Mrs Walton I'm glad you thought the cottage was lovely and in a great location. Thank you for talking the time to let me know of the points that need to be auctioned. I will look into these and remedy soonest. Sykes owner relations
Mr Sharp September 2019

“Fantastic setting!”

There are two pubs, both serving great food within literally a stone’s throw of the cottage. However would recommend that if you want a traditional Sunday roast, book a few weeks in advance. There is also a village shop and a shop at the local petrol garage. For lunches and breakfast, try out the Hive Beech Café.
Mrs Wood August 2019

“Our second year staying in this beautiful little cottage.”

Garden has been improved with a small deck & new bistro set. Pungent smell of dogs when we arrived but think it was from the Vacuum cleaner as when used it the smell was terrible. Surprised the cleaners didn’t smell this and standard of cleaning in general was very poor which is a real shame as theCottage itself is lovely, very cosy & in perfect location for morning walks over to Hive beach.

Dear Mrs Wood, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I’m pleased that you thought the cottage was lovely and cosy. In relation to the cleaning, I am sorry that the standard of cleaning was not as we would expect. We have spoke to the cleaners to ensure that it does not reoccur. Many thanks Sykes owner relations

Mr Tidby May 2019

“Very steep steps up to bedrooms and low beams .”

Head was hit several times, but its a lovely quaint cottage .Burton Bradstock a lovely village and a short walk to the beach .We will go again Thankyou.
Mrs Morris May 2019

“Very disappointed with the cottage.”

It was very small and even though it had two bedrooms which would have accommodated three people there was only one small sofa and no other comfortable chair to sit on. Also the cottage is situated on the corner of the main road through the village and there was constant noise from the traffic throughout the day. We love Burton Bradstock but would not stay in that cottage again.
Mr Dickman May 2019

“The village was absolutely beautiful”
Ms Ablett April 2019

“We have been to Doormouse cottage about 5 times and are going to book again for september.”

Always a pleasure going there. It is like our second home and we are considered a local at the pub near us. Thoroughly recommend.
Mrs Evans April 2019

“Dormouse Cottage in Burton-Bradstock was in an excellent location and had everything we needed.”

Two good pubs and two shops in the village and walking distance to the beach and Hive Cafe. Great for dog walks. The dogs enjoyed themselves as much as we did. It’s location works well as plenty of villages and towns within driving distance, Bridport is only ten minutes down the road and definitely worth a visit. A few things to note if choosing Dormouse Cottage, the ceilings are low with beams so when you have a 6’3” husband be warned!! Also it is on a very busy coastal road so if you’re looking for a peaceful country Cottage, it’s not. Please could you ask the owner to update items in the kitchen.......you have to fight with the can opener! I would throw it away and buy a new one. A non stick frying pan would be good and some decent saucepans that ‘all’ have lids. We had a lovely stay thank you x
Mr Jones March 2019

“Cottage was lovely but not hugely clean (carpets and sofa especially) Could do with checking crockery and cutlery availability (we left you a bottle opener) Listing needs to say that there is a hairdryer available as we brought one.”
Mrs Maggie Markham

“Very good experience overall, the bed and linen were excellent.”

Stayed June 2018
Mr Stephen Mcvey

“Excellent service by staff.”

Very helpful. Stayed May 2017
Mrs Nunns

“Lovely small cottage, just perfect for myself and my two daughters.”

All facilities as described and perfect location for the beach, Burton Bradstock, Abbotsbury and Bridport. This is the second time we have booked with Dream Cottages and we will do so again as their properties are all of a very high quality. Stayed April 2017
Mrs Sue Ellis

“Super little cottage - stayed September 2016”
Mr Fagan

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful.”

The cosy living room had everything I needed. The kitchen provided much to make the stay relaxing. I loved the bedrooms and the bathroom was spacious. The addition of the back terrace allowed me time to sit in the Dorset sun with a glass of wine. I highly recommend Dormouse Cottage. Stayed May 2016
Miss Nicola Anstee-Sinclair

“The cottage was spotlessly clean, sweet and cosy, in an excellent location.”

We had everything we needed and the beautiful walks were amazing and loved by our Springer Spaniel. The walk to the beach was 11 minutes over the cliff top where there was a lovely restaurant / cafe. The pubs in the village were great and friendly with lovely food. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Dream Cottages provided an excellent service and everything was as they said it would be. They are even returning a pair of boots that I left in the cottage by mistake. Highly recommended all round. Stayed March 2016
