What guests are saying
We had a lovely holiday at Oakwood.
Accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well equipped and a good touring base for the Jurassic coast. The only thing I would add, is that it would be helpful to have a towel provided for the downstairs loo and provision of a new kettle. Existing one furred up very quickly and made a curious noise when boiling. Minor details, otherwise everything was excellent.
We really enjoyed our family holiday in Oakwood in Dorset.
The house was well located in a quiet road. It was convenient for the beaches and shopping, everything we needed was within an easy drive. The house itself was clean and comfortable. I would like to make a few suggestions to improve the guest experience. A hand towel in the downstairs toilet would be good, as on arrival from a long journey it is usually the first place to visit and searching for one with wet hands not ideal! The bins should really be checked as each room had a bin that had not been emptied from the previous occupant. Checking for lost property would be an idea as I found clothing in a drawer in two bedrooms. The kitchen had most things needed. But for those of us that cook, the size of the saucepans for up to eight people were inadequate. Some large ones with lids would be good. I would also suggest replacing the scratched non stick frying pans. It seems a waste for every visitor to have to buy dishwasher tablets/ washing up liquid etc when they won't be left for the next visitor. Perhaps leave one dishwasher tab for each day? The welcome packs were appreciated and we enjoyed the local apple juice/ tea/ coffee etc. Overall our experience was good and I would happily spend another holiday at Oakwood. It was good to see that the previous comments had been taken on board and bins provided and plenty of mugs (they weren't all dishwasher proof though).
A good holiday house, plenty of room with good entertainment areas.
A sizable garden, ideal for a game of badminton. Bathrooms have been recently updated and are excellent. Plenty of crockery and cutlery. Only downsides are, the windows, not only very dirty but someone has tried to clean them with an inappropriate cleaner resulting in a bloom which is difficult to see through. Saucepans, only 3 small pans, which is not enough for 6 people, and no pan lids. Cobwebs, lots in the house when we arrived.
