"Always been a pleasure & privilege to stay at this house and enjoyed it again this time."
However, was slightly disappointed to find some maintenance issues that could have been easily corrected. The small shower room seemed to have the most issues including broken toilet seat, broken shower head holder and sink plug. The new kitchen is very nice.

"This was a lovely property in a wonderful location near to a superb little cove."
The rooms were airy and spacious, a driveway for two cars was a godsend, but notes of caution:
We were provided with one bin liner, one tea towel, two dish washer tablets, two toilet rolls. Basically if you do cook for yourselves you need to take a few extras to get through the week.
There was some broken glass down the side of the shed which our dog cut his paw pad on.
Finally if you have a toddler there is no high chair in the property.
None of these are insurmountable issues and we had a lovely time at the cottage

"Thank you for the new kitchen, it was a lovely surprise as we expected the old kitchen as photos on website still showed the old one."
The previous holiday stay had left some items but the helpline responded quickly and on departure we were able to feedback to the cleaner - lovely lady who listened - Thank You!
It was busy at times outside the house and it would be useful to have a ‘No Parking Sign’ on the front wall, there is a line indicating no parking but some motorists ignored this and blocked the entrance, they did move quickly once I showed them they were blocking the entrance to the house ( not aware of the side parking spaces to the house).
We did overall have a wonderful stay, and will return in the future. Thank You!

"The cottage was very nicely decorated and very well equipped, we did have a couple of issues, we contacted the housekeeping team at dream cottages but it seemed they just passed info to Sykes who passed it to owners and nothing got done!"
The outside dustbin was over flowing on arrival, the coffee maker didn’t work and the cafetière had no base
We are sorry you had a problem with the coffee maker Karen. We can't find any problems with it - it is making perfect espressos and cappuccinos! We can only think that the steam button may have been pressed in when you were trying to make an espresso. Thank you for pointing out the problem with the cafetiere - it has been replaced.

"We really enjoyed our half term break here."
The location was perfect both in terms of facilities in the immediate vicinity and for exploring the Dorset Coast with Durdle Door and West Bay only about a 30-40 minute drive away. It was also great to be able to explore places closer by like Portland Island, Chesil Beach, Weymouth. The house itself was spacious (we are a family of 5 with 2 teenage boys & a 10 yo plus a dog). We were able to self cater easily as well as eat out a few times. It was great to have the Rodwell Trail literally on the doorstep where we could take our dog for a walk & I could run. Highly recommend it.
It sounds like you had a great time here Harjit, we are glad you like it. Property Owner

"Having visited Sandsfoot House 2 years ago, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed."
A well maintained house in a lovely location. Our extended family of 6 plus 2 jack russells were very comfortable. Very pleased to see that there is now a tumble dryer which was our only negative during our last stay. We would definitely stay there again.

"Great location for a group of 6 adults plus dog with the gardens and beach two minutes away."
Loved the lounge with comfortable sofas and also the dinning area with sea views- very special experiences.
Walk-in shower unit is small and bath is high for using the over shower - anyone with mobility issues this could be a problem. Kitchen utensils should be checked for cleanliness each change over and another large lidded pan would be useful. Looking forward to staying again next year, thank you for letting this property.

"A lovely house in a perfect location."
Sea view from 2 front bedrooms and safe enclosed garden for the dog. One small thing - there were some dirty marks on two of the radiators and the back door. Easy to miss but suggested they had not been wiped down with an anti viral cleaner which I would have expected at the present time. Otherwise it was very comfortable and everything was provided.

"Although the view was spectacular the house was very basic."
We were told that the house was having a deep clean but when we arrived there was cobwebs with and spiders in every room hanging from the walls and ceilings. The Freezer had a lump of ice frozen in a bag in the one of the drawers and when we removed it it was stuck to some orange sticky stuff stuck to the drawer which was disgusting. The bathroom door didn't lock properly, it needs a new lock fitting for sure. When we sat on the sofas the throws had white dog hairs stuck to them so we folded them up and put them to one side. When we did our first wash in the washer/dryer the clothes came out with white dog hairs on them. We won't be returning to this holiday home.

"The general cleanliness was not fantastic, really expected higher standards with the covid requirements currently in place."
Found 4 nail clippings in the bathroom by the toilet base. Kitchen floor had lots of crumbs and debris around the edges. Would not usually highlight items like this, but having been advised not to arrive till 5pm for deep cleaning had expected it to be spotless! The location was perfect and will definitely return in the future.

"The House was lovely."
spacious and comfortable.There were cleaning issues with the Kitchen and bathrooms which, in the presence of Covid 19 were a great source of concern.
The microwave interior plate had food left on it,the cups and glasses were dirty.
In the bathroom, the floors were dirty, and the tiled area at the back of the bath was not clean.
We had a great stay. the locality is ideal for visits to the beach and easy access to weymouth.
There is an is an issue with young people congregating in the park opposite and gathering at the rear of the house on the Rodwell trail so not always peaceful.
Having said all of the above we would stay again and would book with Sykes.

"Property is in a nice quiet position with views over the old castle & sea, nicely decorated throughout & comfortable seating etc."
Short walk to two beaches & just 10 minutes to pub, very easy access to cycle path & walking trail, about a 20 minute walk to Weymouth harbour. Personally we found the beds a little soft but all the bedding seemed good quality & clean, towels were provided in each room. The only real problem we had was a 2 hour power cut at 8pm one evening but that was the fault of power company, not the property. My only real negative would be the inflated price over new year, but I guess most do that!

"Sandsfoot House is a lovely home in a beautiful location with direct access to the SW Coastal path/Rodwell trail."
The lounge and dinning room are perfect with lots of light and beautiful views and the kitchen is small but functional. The rear garden isn't large but is fully enclosed with 2 seating areas and we felt happy to let our dog out. Upstairs is also very light with 2 double, 2 singles 1 bathroom and 1 shower room. The 2 front bedrooms again have a lovely view . If we have any gripes it's with the upstairs main front bedroom, unfortunately the mattress is too large for the frame which causes it to slope from either side into the middle. We were also slightly disappointed that the property has no rubbish recycling option. All being said we enjoyed our stay, the location and would come back again,

"The house was really lovely and we had a fantastic holiday, so much so that we came home and re-booked."
There was was only one thing that was a problem, but it was a real problem. The lack of a tumble dryer!!!! We had six adults in the house and so was doing washing every other day , there was a small airer ,(not big enough for a full load). Washing was taking 2 to 3 days to dry, consiquently we had damp washing draped around the house the whole time. We even sat a few times with the lounge fire on and airer in front obscuring people's view of the TV. I am hoping with all toes and fingers crossed that this is resolved before next August

"The cottage was lovely and very comfortable but the walking distance into town was further than we thought it would be."
Needs more saucepans and the tin opener was broken, also it would have been helpful to have had a guest book so that
you could leave tips for other guests.
Deck chairs, BQ and fishing nets for children in the shed
Ideal for dogs as the garden was very secure.
