Dolly's House

We had a lovely time there.

The house was beautifully decorated and everything was lovely. We really had a great stay. The views were beautiful, we had a bit of sun while there, which allowed us to take some lovely pictures outside. The house was just perfect for a group of couples to get away from our everyday life and children. The only downside was that there was only 1 dishwasher tablet and no sponge to wash dishes. Knowing we were a party of 8 people staying for 2 nights, there should have been at least 3 tabs or a useful sponge. There was definitely not enough plates and cups for us to use through out our stay without using the dishwasher at least 3 times. With one tab we needed to hand wash the dishes, but there were no sponge or brush to do so either. We didn't really plan to go shopping as we arrived late evening on Friday and had to check out early morning Sunday by 10am. So we only had the Saturday for planned activities, but we had to do a supermarket trip to get washing up tabs. Knowing would have been nice to prepare better, but it definitely did not hinder us from having a good time at the cottage. We would definitely come again.

Dear Owner - Loved every inch of Dolly’s House and hope we can stay there again sometime.

This is in no way a criticism, just a wear and tear observation that it would be a great shame if the kitchen cupboard doors, around the handle areas, are left to look a bit worn out for too long. Only saying this cos it is such a lovely holiday let. Thank you

This was a delightful property with all the amenities that you could want.

The kitchen was well stocked with the addition of a separate bar area. It was very clean throughout. The TV proved a challenge & could do with some instructions. Ideally situated with a lovely pub in the village.

We stayed at Dolly’s House to celebrate my mums 70th birthday.

Beautiful house, idyllic place, plus there is everything in the house (even the dinnerware is gorgeous). The added bar next to the kitchen is perfect too with an another fridge as the kitchen has a double fridge and freezer. The bedrooms are all spacious and the beds are very comfortable too. The owner is contactable if you need anything and she is lovely. I actually stayed here with friends in February and knew it would be perfect to have a family get together and it did not disappoint again. There is the Bears Paw roughly about 4 mins in the car, we had an evening meal, breakfast and Sunday roast. Highly recommend Thanks again Clare

Dolly's house is a lovely house in a lovely location and we really enjoyed our stay there.

Disappointed no TV as airel was lying on the roof,blinds at all angles needing new attachments, not enough dishes for 8 people,no mirror in 1 bedroom, needs extra chairs in lounge.

We did leave a note for owners. Would recommend if the issues resolved

Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The location is convenient, and contrary to other reviews, the nursery next door was no bother whatsoever. The road outside though changes from 30mph to 60mph, and many drivers/riders seem to really like to put their foot down in the early hours, and it can be a little noisy. Fortunately it was not hot weather, so we didn't need windows open - and this is really beyond the owner's control anyway. The biggest issue for us was the TVs. There is no Freesat or Freeview box, with reception relying on the internet connection. I wanted to watch the Lionesses play, and the iPlayer on the main TV was appalling, with connectivity issues - whether this was wifi playing up, or just the age of the TV I do not know. In the end, I had to connect my laptop to the TV to get anything near watchable. This is a shame, as I think any holidaymaker should be able to just sit down and watch anything without having to connect their own devices. Not everyone takes away suitable equipment to do so. The TV in the snug was even more unusable, having a Google Chromecast which originally would not even connect. If I could recommend one change, it would be to replace the TVs with something mid-range, but more modern, and ensuring a better wifi signal to them - it would be hugely beneficial to guests. One more personal foible was that I found the espresso machine a messy faff. If we came back, I'd stick with the cafetiere I think. A pod machine would be simpler for guests. Other than that, it's a very impressive property, with plenty of room, and lots of things that we didn't even get round to using.

Lovely week's break.

Very nice house with stunning views. Lots of room to spread out. Owner was very pleasant & on hand if needed. Overall very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting.

The wonderful garden was perfect in the hot sunny weather we had whilst there. The host was lovely and even delivered us fresh farm eggs. A beautiful big family home lots of space for us all.

THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOX TO BE SHARED WITH PROPERTY OWNER ONLY, NOT FOR PUBLISHING TO OTHER CUSTOMERS.

We really enjoyed our holiday. We feel that Dolly's house would benefit from having a couple of armchairs in the sitting room so that all adults could sit together in the evenings and perhaps a bit of TLC generally.

Guests were requested to minimize noise after 10pm due to semi detach property, No mention that it is run as nursery school between 07:30 - 18:00 and as such can be very noisy.

On arrival we had to clean cups etc before use as they had been used and left dirty. The fridge required cleaning prior to use, oven was dirty. Smart TVs did not function. as there was a lack of any operating instructions, a request to the owner was met with "STOP NICK PICKING" plug in your devices and use Iplayer its all WIFI. No bath mats so extra towels had to be used. It felt the property had not been prepared for our visit. Although the property is fantastic a little customer care and respect would have made our holiday much better resulting higher scoring.

Stunning property extremely clean and well equipped we thoroughly enjoyed our stay especially sitting in the beautiful garden.

Absolutely fantastic house and great communication, we've had a brilliant stay with the family (5 adults and 2 small children).

The house itself was gorgeous, exactly as described and better! The garden was fabulous as well and we managed to take advantage of it with the nice weather! Close to local amenities and attractions, everyone loved it and we would definitely return again!

We had an excellent weekend at Dolly’s house.

Would recommend and am likely to book again

This place is really beautiful and so clean we had a relaxing weekend

This is an unbelievable property very spacious and excellent value.

Also owners are very helpful I would highly recommend this property

We had a brilliant time in Dolly’s house, meeting up with family who live in Glasgow and Wiltshire so a perfect halfway point.

The house is very comfortable and very clean with plenty of space for our two little ones who loved running around and loved the garden. It is very tranquil and relaxed and we enjoyed our walk to the Bear’s Paw for dinner. We will definitely return.

This house is amazing!

Weve spent 2 weeks in this property now and the only reason we are not extending our stay is because the property has already been booked out. The property is huge,very spacious,great views and an ideal getaway if you are visiting someone or something in the area. I would highly recommend

We had a wonderful week at Dolly's House.

A lovely property - very spacious, comfy beds and great garden, which our grandchildren loved. Would not hesitate to recommend - loved it!
