"Excellent, comfortable accommodation."
We were a party of 7 adults, 1 child and 3 small dogs and we had plenty of room both inside the house and in the garden. Our granddaughter had a whale of a time and particularly liked the fairy thrones under the tree! All bedrooms were of a good size and the cleanliness was spot on. Plenty of crockery, glasses etc and the welcome pack was gratefully received. Central to town from the house one way and river walks the other. Happy to recommend.

"Beautiful property with large garden, 3 couples & 2 children stayed."
It was close to the town but still feels like you’re away from town with stunning views to the rear of the property. Large house with plenty of space, large dining table & large kitchen, the house was very clean with plenty of space for parking also. Overall a lovely stay, my only points of improvement would be for the hot water to be on for longer in the mornings & evenings. With the amount of people in the property, especially running the bath for the children, it didn’t take long for there to be not enough hot water for everyone to wash. We did use the boost function but this required some planning on when hot water was needed, especially with our children being early risers we needed hot water by 6.30am ish but it wasn’t on yet. Also the mattress in the double room could do with replacing as it was very thin and getting thinner towards the middle so not the most comfortable sleep in this room in particular.

"We had a fantastic stay at this lovely holiday cottage."
It was spotless, comfortable, and very well equipped, with everything we needed for a relaxing break.
The thoughtful welcome was such a lovely touch, with fresh milk, tea, coffee, biscuits, and a comfort pack waiting for us when we arrived. It made us feel at home straight away.
The location was perfect for our needs. We would highly recommend this cottage. We've already booked for 2027!
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

"The house was ideal for us with plenty of space indoors and outside for us all to sit together."
It was situated within easy access to local attractions and facilities with a well equipped kitchen for self catering purposes. There was an issue with the downstairs shower but between Sykes and the owner dealt with very promptly. Would recommend.

"Glyde house is a spacious, comfortable house with beautiful gardens set in a quiet and pretty area, just on the edge of town."
We loved it!
Eight of us stayed there for a week and we were very pleased with how well equipped the property was.
The large lounge diner was perfect for us all to gather together at the end of the day and we really enjoyed the fantastic outside decking area.
All the bedrooms were bright and comfortable: everyone slept well!
Our dogs enjoyed running around in the large garden and especially enjoyed the countryside and river walks which were 2 minutes down the road.
Our one and only recommendation would be for some meshing to be put on the bottom of the driveway gate: to stop smaller dogs from escaping into the road!
Overall - a great place for a family holiday.
Hi. We are really pleased you enjoyed Glyde so much. We were there today doing some gardening and we fitted some mesh to the driveway gate to prevent any doggy escape attempts as you suggested.

The owners David and Gail were very responsive to any questions we had. The welcome pack was a very nice touch. Such a beautiful house perfectly situated, 5 minute walk to the centre of Dorchester yet secluded and surrounded by countryside. I can highly recommend this fantastic home.

It was comfortable, well maintained, and the owners were attentive. It is very well placed, a block away from Dorchester centre yet in a quiet street. The good weather enabled us to enjoy the garden more than we had anticipated for the beginning of October. All in all, excellent value.

"Glyde House is a beautiful and spacious house and ideally situated for eating out, places to visit locally and for easily travelling further afield on day trips."
The house itself is very well presented and the kitchen is very well equipped should you wish to stay in cook a meal for a large family.
Upon arriving, we were greeted with a welcome pack including tea, coffee, sugar and some lovely biscuits, as well as a smaller pack with washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. Everything you need to start your stay comfortably.
The garden is also beautifully paid out and securely enclosed should you take your dogs on holiday with you.
If you are unsure of anything, Dave and Gail are on hand via email to answer any questions, and respond very quickly too.
It was so lovely we mean to visit again next year. It's a 10/10 for me. Thanks

"Lovely property with all that is needed."
Well equipped kitchen with plenty of utensils and space!
Sofa maybe a little dated and soft to sit on, but its a holiday let so that's understandable. Overall nothing to complain about and will certainly look to book again.
We really had a lovely time and it was spotless with everything working as it should. Lovely hamper to arrive to and lovely to see some cleaning products supplied also which was a lovely touch.
Great for dogs to run around in and secure, unless you have a small dog that would squeeze under or through a gate. Ours enjoyed. A fabulous outdoor area to sit in.
We met owner on arrival and was so welcoming.
Perfect location for us. Highly recommend if you have family of all ages and looking for a home that feels like a home.
Would certainly book this property again.

Shower height adjustment bracket in downstairs en-suite is broken can only be used at lowest height. Also steps from balcony into the garden pond area the railing is loose!! Thank you for a perfect stay to attend a family wedding locally.
Hi Jean. we were really pleased you had a great stay but sorry the height adjustment on the shower was broken and the railings were a bit wobbly. We have mended the shower and tightened the bolts on the railings, so no more wobble!! Do come again. David and Gail
