"The photos of cottage were very misleading especially about the steep steps and slope at the top by the garage."
If we had known they were that steep we would not have booked that cottage. There was a lot of dead insects around the upstairs area aswell as live ones too. Spiders and cobwebs in bathroom especially a problem for me. The bedroom with the 2 sloping ceilings and the connecting piece of wood over the chest of drawers are a bit of a hazard which I felt should have a warning notice as there was a lot of them about but not relating to this problem. Unfortunately I had banged my head several times on the wood and grazed my scalp whilst there on 4th to 11th Sept 2021. The area is lovely and the Pub very friendly when it was open. Unfortunately it had to close for 3 days while we were there for covid issue. I dont think we will be coming back to the area in future though as we are getting too old for the hilly terrain even in our 70,'s
We are sorry you found our beautiful area of Dorset not to your liking.
We have strived to make it clear in both description and photographs that the property has steps to access.
Insects with open windows are always a problem in the countryside. We can assure you all were removed before your visit and the house was spotless.
Liliput is a "quirky" property and the timbers are a feature of such.
We're sorry you didn't enjoy the area as it is delightful. We have all been struggling to provide the friendly welcome this area normally offers and if the pub was shut it was for your own safety.
Kind regards, The Owner Property Owner

"The cottage is situated in a lovely village with a great community pub and surrounded by beautiful landscape but conveniently close to beaches and Bridport."
So far, so good. Our problem with the house was that although relatively spacious and reasonably well -equipped, it was grubby and a bit shabby, and certainly not at the standard we'd expect for the price we paid for our week's stay. The shower wouldn't drain away, and the cubicle was mouldy, and we had to stop halfway through showering to prevent flooding (we noted that this was brought up by previous guests over a month before our visit).There was food beneath the microwave and mould in the bin. When we stripped the beds in the ground floor bedroom, there was mould on the wall in the corner. The carpets were stained, the skirtings dirty. The whole house could do with a really good clean, and it made staying there uncomfortable. Overall , we felt over-charged for the property of that style and condition. It's a shame because it could be really pretty, but it needs an overhaul.

"Great attention to detail has been paid to ensure complete comfort - beautiful Parker Knoll furniture, accommodates 9 seats."
I think you need a photo online of both ends of Lilliput’s lounge to give it its full potential, high quality carpets, fantastic bed mattresses, support pillows and bed linen.
We met the owners who were onsite in the garden when we got back one day during our holiday and they are both very nice.

"Good location and great attention to detail to make you feel welcome and have a hassle-free stay."
The garden is very pleasant and the lounge is very comfortable. The parking is awkward though and the layout of the cottage, although fine for two people, might be tricky for larger groups, especially as there isn’t a dishwasher! Most people who stayed before seemed to have eaten out a lot but that wasn’t so easy In April 2021 because of the lockdown easing rules. Nevertheless we have a lovely few days; great to be able to get out of London!

"The owners of the cottage were on site when we arrived and greeted us warmly."
The cottage is so comfortable and airy. It is a beautiful, comfy cottage. And the owners had
provided extras including dog biscuits for Jess our Springer spaniel. It has really nice gardens to back and front. We will most definitely return.

"We were delighted at the quality of the furniture and fittings."
There was everything you needed. The beds were comfortable and the property was very roomy. The garden was secluded and peaceful. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something peaceful but with nearby facilities. 3 generations enjoyed a wonderful stay.

"Lilliput was a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings."
It was more than adequately equipped and suited our needs to a tee! We were a family of 5 adults meeting up for a long weekend over Easter and we had a great time. The village pub was staggering distance away and they were very accommodating, the sights of Dorset were all on the doorstep and the sea was minutes away. We were able to sit out in the garden, and although it wasn't quite warm enough to eat outside, the facilities were there. The lounge was bright and airy and a great size for a family. All in all, a winner! Stayed April 2017
