"We had a wonderful stay at the Courthouse."
Beautifully clean, well equipped, with very comfortable beds. The good quality cotton bed linen was lovely too, great to snuggle up in after a long day of walks on the local beaches & countryside with our two collies.
Perfect bath (there is an over bath shower) or separate powerful shower which is en-suite to the master bedroom. Large comfy lounge (3 seater, 2 seater & two chairs) overlooking a fully enclosed garden which our two loved. Ample parking space for our car. Nice neighbours, they have dogs & whilst friendly kept themselves to themselves. The cottage is just a 2min stroll from The Springhead pub which is nestled away & clientele were lovely, good varied drinks, food menu & pizza oven outside. Lots of great walks for every type of walker. Close to Osmington Mills, Lulworth Cove/Durdle Door & Weymouth, Portland Bill. For avid readers there’s a red telephone box in the village packed with lots of good exchange books. All round excellent cottage & location. Yes, take your own towels as Sykes advises & if your visit is during or following a soggy week or two I’d imagine it is incredibly hard to clean the cottage if they’ve had a mindless family staying & not managing their dogs/tidying up after themselves, as would be anywhere. The decor & detail at this property showed me the owners & their cleaner care greatly for those that stay. I’ve always liked the All Blacks motto, ‘Sweep the Shed’.

"We were informed by sykes that towels were provided but on arrival there were none except I small hand towel in downstairs toilet."
We therefore had to buy 6 bath towels. Also whole property needs a good clean.

"Excellent property in an excellent location."
Lovely and roomy with all the facilities you can ask for.
The only negative would be the lack of a overhead or seperate shower in the main bathroom.

"We have stayed at The Courthouse before and we absolutely love the location and the space and comfort the accommodation has to offer."
My only criticism is that the property is in need of some redecoration and the cleanliness of the property has some room for improvement BUT we absolutely loved our experience once again and are looking forward to a return trip in September!!
The property is in an ideal location, with adequate parking and a wonderful enclosed garden which is perfect for dogs.

"This is a lovely cottage in a fabulous village."
There are many walks you can do from the village or it is a great base for days out. The village is really dog friendly with a great pub/eatery central only 4 minutes walk from the Courthouse. There is another pub shop and chippy about 1/2 mile away. Facilities in the courthouse are really good. We ate out and also cooked quite a few meals. Everything you could need in the kitchen. Lovely garden which the dogs enjoyed investigating and all secure for them. Would defo recommend here

"This property was spotlessly clean and sanitised."
The beds very comfortable and there is everything you could need for a wonderful holiday. Every room is spacious and light. The location is perfect, great pub in village for meals and lovely walks. Very dog friendly and a very safe garden for them, also neighbours in the courtyard are dog lovers and friendly. Have booked for next year as soon as we got home.

"Cottage was spacious and well equipped with ample parking."
Was a bit disappointed after reading previous reviews that certain things hadn't been fixed, especially given the downtime time due to COVID? Think the cottage could, at some point, do with a deep clean. Whist it it a dog friendly cottage the lounge greets you with quite a 'damp'dog' odour. The garden is secure and gets the sun most of the day. All that said we have just re-booked for next year as it fulfilled our expectations and needs. Thanks :-)

"The Courthouse is a comfortable, well maintained property in the lovey village of Sutton Poyntz."

"Key safe ridiculously fiddly and necessitates standing on wet lawn to use."
Front door almost impossible to open from inside as was sticking and no knob to pull on.
Decor in 3rd bedroom (where I ended up) frankly horrible.
Though cottage superficially clean,there were cobwebs around windows and a deep clean would be beneficial.
Overall,a bit of an update - especially in kitchen and third bedroom would be nice.
Hope this does not sound overly picky,but we did pay quite a lot (understandable at Christmas).
Despite these comments,we did find the cottage spacious,warm and comfortable and would return.

"Delightful cottage with all the facilities you would need."
Lovely enclosed garden for dogs with the added bonus of a doggy loo! Very well located within easy distance of Weymouth and very near Lulworth Cove, Corfe and Swanage. The local pub serves very good food and beers and is 50m from the cottage. Lots of other lovely pubs and walks nearby. A great family cottage!

"A good family sized accommodation in lovely location good sized bedrooms but property in need of updating, tired looking furniture and stained carpets and rugs."
Found it difficult to use ensuite shower at same time as family bathroom, due to water pressure.
Could not really use oven as needed deep clean.
Enclosed garden was good but had to clean up dog poo on arrival as we had a young child with us.
In general property in need of updating and deep clean, if this was carried out property would be ideal.

"We have stayed here for many years but have noticed that everything is looking very tired and outdated now even though the price goes up every year."
The property could really do with re decorating, carpets on the stairs or repaired due to very creaky steps. Door latches make it impossible to open or close doors quietly at night and taps won’t fully turn off in the main bathroom. The lounge carpet is very stained but as this is a dog friendly property and the carpets are cream that can’t be helped. Very kind gift of a bottle of wine is greeting you on arrival but white wine would be better as red is not as popular. Washer/tumble dryer is a god send and kitchen is well equipped. Although knifes are exceptionally blunt for preparing food. Upstairs is comfortable and linen is provided free as some other properties do charge.

With a beautiful walled garden. Dog friendly which is a huge bonus. Friendly people and within easy distance of lots of fun things. Portland Bill, climbing, monkey world, Weymouth, coastal walks, skateboarding and body boarding in the sea. It’s a brilliant holiday destination.
