  The cottage we stayed at was perfect for our needs.

  There were three in our party, plus a dog, but we could have easily taken six. We walked straight out of the cottage and right into the countryside from the front door. Because we had the dog, we were not so bothered about spending time on the beach, and really enjoyed the country walks. It was possible to walk to the beach from the cottage, but it was a little bit of a trek, and wouldn't have been easy with a family. However, very easy access for driving to all of Dorset's local attractions - Abbotsbury, Jurassic coast, Ringstead Lulworth Cove/Durdle Door. It was very easy to have the dog there - there is a stated preference for animals not to go upstairs, but it was quite easy to block the stairs off to prevent this. The area surrounding the cottage was pretty much enclosed - while we wouldn't have left the dog wandering around by herself (as she might have found a way out), while we were sitting in the garden, it was very easy to keep her safe. The cottage was in a very secluded location, so it wasn't a big worry if the dog barked occasionally. The house had all the ameneties (TV with lots of channels & streaming services, dishwasher, two bathrooms, indoor & outdoor eating areas, patio furniture, board games, books) we needed to entertain us if it was raining , or if we stayed in in the evening, or if we wanted to sit outside enjoying the sunshine. The beds were really comfortable, and we all slept well. The Smuggler's Inn pub was very easy to walk to, and does great food, & has an enormous outdoor seating area. There was a handy village shop & a farm shop within 5 mins walk, & small local supermarkets were a close drive nearby. We had a very enjoyable stay, and will be back.

  Absolutely filthy.

  The only clean thing in the kitchen was the dishwasher. We had to hoover when we got there and went to mop the floor but the mop was so disgusting we went to the supermarket to buy a new one. I had bought home cooked frozen meals for my 1 year old and when I went to put them in the freezer I was horrified as the freezer had so much ice which had hairs and other debris in. The mattress was disgusting and covered in stains. The bathroom was not suitable to bath a small child as we could only use one side due to the bath screen being siliconed to the bath. The water pressure was also shockingly awful. The remote for the tv was absolutely covered in goodness knows what so had to scrub the thing as was worried if my daughter touched it. The sofa was extremely uncomfortable. There are no facilities. Yes can wash clothes in the dingy outhouse. The ‘garden’ is totally uneven with a huge drop and completely overgrown so would have been extremely dangerous to take our 1 year old. Honestly the worst place I’ve ever stayed. We couldn’t cancel or try to get money back as was such a busy weekend there was no where to go so would have had to if driven home. We did leave early as it was raining all day on the second to last day and nothing to do at the cottage so had no choice but to leave

  We had a very enjoyable stay at Garland cottage, the on-site manager was very helpful and friendly.

  We were pleasantly surprised to find a selection of dog treats left for our Reggie along with food and water bowls, and many other items that we usually have to take with us such as tea towels and washing up liquid. The accommodation was very clean upon arrival and well presented. The only minor negative was that the sofa in the living room is getting a bit tired and uncomfortable to sit on for any length but this could be said of a lot of people's homes. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call the day after arrival checking that everything was ok, unfortunately I missed the call but got the message later and was unable to return the call due to reception issues. I can definitely recommend Garland, and would be happy to stay in the other accommodation available at Wey Stables, and am likely to return in the near future! Thank you.

  Roman lodge was a lovely stay.

  The property is in a very quiet location which is perfect for relaxing but still close enough to Weymouth and all the facilities you need. The lodge itself was very comfortable, the space was well thought out. The beds and bedding were proper quality. We rate this property very highly. Only a couple of suggestions which are minor would be a second tv in one of the bedrooms, the fridge freezer needs a defrost which is understandable due to the busy season not having time to be done- could a small stand up freezer be provided or something on the kitchen counter? And finally another one of those delightful lounge chairs which are the most wonderful chairs we’ve sat in! Overall a stunning stay and we will return

  Absolutely loved this gorgeous lodge.

  The road up to it is a little bit rocky but well worth it to stay in such a stunning place. One afternoon there was a power cut and a lovely neighbour came to tell us about it so we could plan ahead. A great community on the doorstep it seems. The lodge was comfortable with stylish features and decor. Beds were super comfy. A superb base for all of Dorset’s lovely places to visit. A walk to the Smuggler’s Inn where we had a fabulous Sunday roast was just perfect. A visit to Durdle Door is worth every penny of the price to park there. Wishing Well tea rooms in Upwey are well worth a visit. Lovely gardens and food. I am sure we will be back. Thank you! Would move in if I could!
