“Clean, comfortable, cosy and convenient cottage that we would return to if in the area, which is very pretty.”

The only negative is that the cottage abuts a road and, although it is rural and isn’t busy, you can hear vehicles travelling past, particularly in the double bedroom.

“A relaxing place to stay for a break away in the countryside.”

Always love somewhere with a log burner! The enclosed generous-sized garden was fantastic for our dog. Most self-catering places struggle with adequate kitchen facilities, but this was far above average, although could do with some more cutlery due to having a full-sized dishwasher. We both found the sofa and double mattress a bit uncomfortable, but other than that it was great and I would recommend to others.

“We loved Rowdens Barn, the open space was very much enjoyed.”

We have 2 children and found the size perfect for all 4 of us. We had great weather for February but the temperatures did drop at night and found the heaters provided a great amount of warmth to keep us comfortable. It was very much appreciated that the barn was equipt with cleaning products and all the kitchen amenities and thank you for the cake and milk left in the fridge for our arrival. We will definitely book again

“It was just perfect for us right down to the little finishing touches.”

Leanne was very helpful when we arrived . We was so delighted with the welcome cake and doggy treats and a pint of milk for us on arrival the log burner was also lovely and basket full of logs clean towels and bedding . What else can I say I don't think we have ever stayed anywhere as good as here , you could tell Leanne wanted to make sure we was comfortable and felt like we was at home

“This was our 2nd time to this property as we liked it so much last time.”

.. Warm, clean, relaxing and well equipped... we have recommended it, and the option to hire a couple for a bigger gathering.

- Mrs Bleakley, November 2018
“Apart from the above - location - sweet fresh unpolluted tap water - quiet.”

Happy foryou to publish our reccommendation anonymously

- Miss Williams, September 2018
“This is such a lovely place, it's home from home.”

So easy to relax and the place is so well equipped, even with tea, coffee, milk and a cake what more could you ask for! The secure garden is brilliant for dogs- just love it.

- Miss Shrubb, September 2018
“Very pleasant stay in well equipped, clean, accommodation.”

Pretty garden and liked the 'play barn' - would consider bringing our grandchildren here for a holiday. Visiting dogs very well behaved. Well up to the standard of the other Sykes cottages in which we have stayed. Nice variety of day trips within easy reach.

- Mr Maidment, September 2018
“The cottage was modern and well appointed with high quality fittings all working perfectly.”

Very clean, very comfortable and well designed with plenty of accommodation and storage space. The location is quiet and would have benefit from having a shop in walking distance to save using the car, but this is a very minor point. The beds are comfortable and the pillows nice and firm. At the time we were there the temperature was very high, but the cottage remained tolerably cool. Overall, an excellent place for exploring the county's attractions and we would not hesitate in returning.

- Mr Ervin, July 2018
“Lovely quiet location, made a great base to visit attractions, of which there are many, in Dorset.”

The farm manager & his wife were very friendly. Lovely touch to have a chocolate cake set on the table upon arrival as well as tea,coffee, sugar & milk. There were even two bowls and a little bag of biscuits for our dogs! Definitely recommend!

- Mrs Bestwick, July 2018

Super little garden for the dogs fenced in. A communal garden so well kept and pretty, Spotlessly clean .

“Wonderful cottage & allows dogs.”

New in June 2014 we were among the first guests in this lovely complex of 6 barn conversions. Everything is tasteful and good quality. This property is ideal for those with limited mobility as even the entrance is level and parking is adjacent. The outside patio and small lawn are fully enclosed by a 3ft fence so were ideal for relaxed outdoor dining (& wining) with our pooches. Very highly recommended!
