“The cottage location was fabulous, amazing views across to the sea and a short walk down the cliff path to West Bay.”

This was great for getting the morning paper and freshly cooked pastries for breakfast! However there were a few things that let the cottage down. The dishwasher is not full size and it was sometimes a struggle to get everything from the day in there, I think the description should mention it’s size. Likewise the fridge is small, although the addition of the small freezer in the cupboard did help. The description failed to mention that the TV has an integrated DVD player, I think future ...

Likewise the fridge is small, although the addition of the small freezer in the cupboard did help. The description failed to mention that the TV has an integrated DVD player, I think future customers (particularly at this time of year) would appreciate knowing this. The duvets were not warm enough for this time of year and there were insufficient blankets/throws. The cottage smelt damp and there was evidence of damp.

“We had a lovely week at Seacliff despite the weather.”

The place is in a fantastic location and had everything we needed for our stay however the building does need some TLC. There was mould in the wardrobe in the front bedroom and in the bathroom and when we arrived the whole place felt cold and damp. The interior could do with a bit of touching up and a deep clean (including under sofas and window frames). This didn't affect our enjoyment of the holiday though and the only other recommendation I would make is to have a secure area for letting dogs off the lead in the garden.
Mr & Mrs Hardie September 2019

“I agree with everything Mrs Jarvis said, also the fridge wasn't clean the shelves were sticky, the microwave was dirty as was the oven.”

There was no mat in the shower room in the en-suite so we had to use a hand towel so as not to slip on the tiles. the two couches in the lounge are so uncomfortable you slip off them. For what we paid for this cottage it was a disgrace, we didn't expect to clean the place when we arrived, I don't think we would ever book this cottage again.
Mrs Jarvis September 2019

“We were two couples at Seacliff for 2 weeks (Jarvis and Hardie).”

On arrival we found the kitchen surface next to the sink absolutely swimming in water, had to find a cloth to try and dry this. The work surfaces were dirty and had to be cleaned as was the dinning room table. The cooker hob had not been cleaned in weeks. One of the mugs was missing. Because of the state of the crockery and cutlery we used the dishwasher to get them cleaned only to find that the dishwasher previously used still had the dishwasher capsule inside. The dishwasher was very temperamental, worked when it wanted to. The little larder freezer had not been cleaned in weeks still stuff in it. The plug on the iron was missing and all the wires showing, this was replaced by Dream Cottages. The bin in the bathroom had not been emptied. The door was off in the shower room bedroom and the wardrobe door hanging off. Bulb needed replacing in shower room. The twin bedroom floor and all skirting boards were dusty and the floors in all rooms had to be cleaned. Damp on wall in wardrobe in twin room. For the amount of money we spent on this accommodation we found it to be very unacceptable. After a long journey we did not expect to have to come and clean this property. We contacted Dream Cottages on the Saturday evening and the lady was very helpful and promised a carpenter the following day to rehang the doors. She was told of a number of things we were not satisfied with and said she would report this to the cleaning manager. To be honest for what we were paying the bungalow should have been in a much better condition than we found it. I think it is time that a painter/decorator was employed to sort things out. The guttering around the bungalow in most places was full of seagulls nesting materials and moss so that when it rained the water just overflowed. We were very, very disappointed and I would have thought that someone from Dream Cottages would have come to see us (and not when we were out as we would have waited to see them).
Ms Priestly June 2019

“We were here last year.”

Lovely cottage. A few bits of feedback. There should be a stool or chair in the bathroom. There should be a chest of drawers in the twin room. There should be hooks on the back of the doors of the bedrooms.
Mrs Jarvis June 2019

“This is our third visit in 12 months.”

It's a shame that some people do not look after Seacliff as they should. Swing bin broken, no washing up bowl - left outside for the cleaners to use, only 3 garden seats to use and garden brolly missing. Also ( I did smile to myself on this) on arrival my husband tried to get the tv to work (football) I could hear him moaning about it whilst I was unpacking, finally he found the fault, the people who used Seacliff the week before us had changed the batteries around on the tv remote, stupid but there you go it takes all sorts. Although the work was going on in the harbour you could only hear the noise when you went outside so it really did not bother us and we had a wonderful time. Lovely bungalow, wonderful views, weather very good - what more could you ask for - well a decent fridge and freezer would be the icing on the cake the ones there are truly awful.

“Superbholiday”

Great bungalow right on cliff path lovely sea views. On our third visit. They do take 3 well behaved dogs. Spotlessly clean and just short walk to quay. Dogs on last 2 visits very obedient so not having enclosed garden not a problem and very quiet so no cars but this year bringing rambunctious 1 year old spaniel so will need harness and long line when letting out for wee as so close to cliffs. Not a deal breaker but an enclosed garden would have given it 5 stars.
Mrs Lankshear May 2019

“The property itself was a nice property, unfortunately it wasn't as clean as I would of expected it to be.”

There was dust and hairs/bits along the edges of the floor. The kitchen was clean, the main bathroom could of done with a lick of paint along the window sills and the windows could of been cleaner. My mother in law, who's 70th birthday was the reason for our holiday, ended up in the front bedroom with a bed that the mattress needed replacing sooner rather than later. She said there were parts of it that went down and found it rather uncomfortable. The other bedrooms were fine, the children had a lovely time as did we all. It was a base for our holiday but it could of been a little more looked after like your own home. Also we used the back entrance all week, due to a lovely seagull nesting above the front door.
Mrs Polley May 2019

“The bungalow is in a very good position and it was good to be able to join the coast path so easily and to enjoy the wonderful views.”
Mrs Bennion May 2019

“There was a seagull nest on the roof just above the front door.”

As we had dogs this meant it was difficult to use the front patio as it caused the birds distress. The birds were also very noisy on the roof at night. We were told it was not possible to move a nesting bird, which we understand. But the bird should have been moved on while nest building and not allowed to complete the nest. The local beach was mainly closed for coastal protection works. We were only told of this long after we booked . The works went on from early morning to late in the evening and were noisy. This certainly lessoned the enjoyment of our holiday. There was no washing up liquid or tea towels provided. This should be made clear in the cottage info. When only 2 people are staying it is not necessary to use the dishwasher.

“This property was dirty.”

I do not like going away for a break and having to clean. If you get a favourable feedback from the occupants following us, it is possibly because I cleaned some of the dirtiest areas. Please take me off your mailing/email list. Dr. H Brooks

This room provides the perfect place to prepare and enjoy a family meal enjoying the time together in one room.

All rooms are generous and comfortable, ideal in which to relax and to catch up on some rest after a day of exploring and discovering the delights of the coast.

When you return home from your fun packed day at the beach or harbour enjoy a refreshing drink while catching the last rays of sun and admiring the sunset from your front garden as you chat and look out to sea. Overlooking West Bay beach and the cliffs Seacliff occupies a most enviable position, recently featured in the TV drama Broadchurch.

This bungalow has all the modern comforts you would want with stunning views bound to steal your heart.

This Dorset coastal location has everything for a memorable holiday or a short break; sandy beach, rural and coastal walks, fishing, diving and boat trips, fossil hunting, local shops, cosy pubs and renowned restaurants - provincially caught fish being a specialty.

Harbour side kiosks selling fish and chips, hand dived scallops and local ice-cream are just a short stroll away.

The harbour provides fantastic views towards the beach and sea, over to East Cliff and the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, and access to walks along the south west coastal path.

With its variety of shops, local theatre/cinema and twice weekly market.

You will find the market town of Bridport is only a short drive, bus trip or river walk away.
