“House is very comfortable and peaceful.”

The only issue we had is that the wooden gates get very swollen in bad weather and were difficult to open and close. We arrived in very heavy rain and strong winds and really struggled to get in. We also left in torrential rain so were drenched by the time we’d closed the gates.

“The photos and description did not do it justice.”

Its a cosy, characterful cottage. We spent 3 nights here in half-term with our 3 children and dog. It was spotless and well maintained. Location was excellent. We walked into Dorchester one day and drove the short distance to Weymouth for another excursion. The only issue we had were the bathroom taps which were overly sensitive but not a problem at all!!
Ms Fahie September 2019

“Lovely accommodation and really comfortable.”

For us having a dog we would Have liked to have been closer to some nice walks as we had to drive out to them as for us our dog is not a lead walking dog. But it was a fab base .
Mrs Mcauliffe September 2019

“A good location and a pleasant holiday let to stay in.”

A small quiet complex. Close to local amenities and a base for visiting many places. Very comfortable lounge and bedrooms. A few minor issues to be sorted out but would stay here again.
Mr Baker August 2019

“We stayed at The Creamery as a family of two adults and three children.”

It is set in an ideal part of Dorset to explore Dorchester, Weymouth and Portland. Easy walking distance into Dorchester and a short drive to Weymouth. The beds and sofas are lovely, clean and comfortable; it is light and airy and although on a complex, it is very peaceful and pleasant. I think it would be a good idea to retake some photographs of the interior, simply because it is bigger in reality than it looks in the advertising photos! However, the garden is smaller than it appears in the photos, especially if you park your car within the gates of The Creamery. Also, the house was generally clean but I noticed that the fridge hadn’t been wiped thoroughly when we arrived, and there were quite a few cobwebs around. The outside needs weeding and the ivy needs cutting to keep it off the pathway leading to the house. Overall, I would recommend The Creamery. We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely house.
Mr Frost July 2019

“A great location for a holiday home.”

The Creamery is well appointed and finished to a high standard. We were as bit unsure if being in a complex would be noisy as we usually go for a more secluded location, but the complex was very quiet, The fish and chip shop that is just a 10 minute walk away is excellent. Dorchester town centre is about a 15 minute walk away with a great selection of shops and places to eat.
Mrs Mills June 2019

“Nice cottage well equipped.”

One bathroom not enough for five people. Tv remote doesn’t work properly. Easy access to town although not many places for evening meals, and nothing in the town centre.
Mrs Taylor May 2019

“The cottage was lovely and very spacious.”

We had a very nice time. The only thing I would say is that the double bed even though was very comfortable it was a bit small for us but other than that an amazing cottage. Would 100% reccomend it.
Ms Smeeton May 2019

“This is our second time using Dream Cottages for holiday home booking in Dorset and again, it was a great experience.”

The Creamery is a beautiful & newly renovated holiday home within walking distance to all the main spots of interest in Dorchester. Loved the design of the house with the sunny & spacious living area at the top of the house and the cozy bedrooms at the bottom. We would definitely stay again. Our only comment is that it would have been more convenient if recycling was offered as it was inconvenient to have to take it elsewhere especially since the neighbours had their recycling picked up.
