“House perfect size for adults, kids and dog.”

...

Access in difficult for buggies, need to hold on to small children due to steps and uneven paths, entry/exit is straight into road. Parking outside church was used as suggested, as basically no parking at property unless you have a small car, and only a stones throw from house. Only real down side are showers. only one you can use is in down stairs bathroom, and that is terrible. No signal for TV in evenings so stuck with BBC1, would suggest you take DVD’s. House is in need of a bit of repair to tidy it up, but overall facilities were good, and welcome bowl tea/coffee on arrival was a nice touch.

Thank you for taking the time to complete our feedback form and sorry to hear of the aspects that fell short of your expectations. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact our customer relations department on 01244 345 700 (option 1 option 3). We are open 7 days a week, 9am-7pm.

“We went away for a family break with the dog.”

It was lovely and very convenient for all the lovely sights.

“Lovely position”

Ten of us stayed here for a week. It was very well equipped and clean. Enough space too for all of us not to be cramped. Plenty of comfy chairs and settees, masses of crockery and cutlery, and good sized rooms. In spite of our concerns that there was only parking for one small car, we had no trouble parking outside the church just a couple of minutes away, even though it was the height of the summer season. We did think the front garden area was a bit wasted and could be transformed into more parking maybe. The only gripe of the whole holiday house was there was only one shower. The bathroom upstairs had a shower attachment but it provided only scalding hot water or freezing cold! No mixer. So ten people needing showers was a bit difficult and time consuming. Otherwise all good.
Mrs Beynon August 2019

“I was bitterly disappointed in the standard of the cottage.”

It was dirty and run down I expected better for a 3 star rating. The whole place needs gutting and replacing. My daughters bedsheets had holes in them and one working shower between 10 people was tiresome. Damp in corners and ceilings. It was a pain to park on the road and the suggestion that we pay to park a mile away is ridiculous.Great location though and Dorset was lovely.

“Water leak but as it was the last day we were not affected”
Ms Berry May 2019

“The location was fantastic and the house scrupulously clean.”

Really well equipped. Only quibble was the bathrooms were a little tired and the showers could have had a bit more power.
Ms Edwards May 2019

“The shower is a bit hit & miss temperature wise.”

Bedroom doors don't close properly. The kitchen is very well stocked. Nice touch to have the tea/coffee/milk/sugar/biscuits.
Ms Hunt April 2019

“We had a lovely time.”

The house is in an AMAZING location - very close to the cove (and some beautiful walks), several great pubs, and a small shop that had pretty much everything you would need. The beds and rooms were all comfortable and worked well for us as a group of ten adults. My one negative would be the shower/bath facilities. The bath was unusable and the shower was a bit of a battle to be honest - I think the thermostat must be broken (?), would be worth getting someone out to have a look at that. Thanks for a great stay

“The best thing about this cottage is the location.”

It is within 10 minutes walking distance of the beach at Lulworth Cove which is absolutely beautiful. Likewise the nearby beach at Durdle Door is breathtaking. Initially, we were a little concerned about the lack of parking advertised. However, you can park on the road outside the Church for free. The Church is only a 30 second walk away. The cottage itself is fine with all the facilities that one could want. And at a good price. We were a group of 10 and one dog. Some of our group said that the shower was not that great because it was not very powerful but this did not really bother me. The bedrooms were fine. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and appliances. The washing machine did not work but was replaced within 24 hours of us mentioning it to the management company. We were blessed with great weather during our stay which allowed us to sit outside on the decking everyday. This was a very pleasant experience. All in all, I would recommend this place for the price and the location.

“Comfort, cleanliness, ample room.”

..... everything you could possibly need available. Please see email texted to you/Sykes sent whilst we were there.

“We have stayed here twice and thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation and where it is situated .”

Nice and clean , light and plenty of room for us all - stayed June 2016.
Mr Robert MacKinnon

“A very enjoyable stay at a wonderfully located property.”

Only point for consideration is that a second shower for a property which sleeps up to ten would be useful. It may also be worthwhile highlighting the sloping site and steps access which, as parking is on road, may be an issue to those less mobile. Would be pleased to recommend to anyone seeking a holiday property in Dorset an excellent dog friendly property - thank you.
Mrs Rawling

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

Warm and spacious accommodation in an excellent location. Loved the sunny window seat and view down to the sea.

About the location

WEST LULWORTH

Wareham 9.1 miles; Weymouth 14.7 miles

West Lulworth boasts some of the most dramatic geological features on the Jurassic coastline and arguably the most photographed locations in the UK. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door sit at the heart of this area and really are a must see. Lulworth Cove has many little café’s and beachside shacks serving local seafood, ice cream and other delights, as well as several restaurants and pubs from which to choose. There is an Lulworth estate information centre which offers an insight into how the cove and Durdle door were formed and Jurassic history of the region. If you tire of Cove and cliff top walks then Lulworth Castle is a short drive away and offers another glimpse at some more recent history, along with Tyneham Village, and Corfe Castle. This is a really special area and the village retains a lot of it’s thatched cottages and has a real air of a rural retreat.
