What our customers say about their holidays

  Well what can we say. Another lockdown and we thankfully managed to escape to the Bramble lodge on the first day of lockdown easing, so our hopes were high. To say we were blown away was an understatement. The lodge itself was breath taking. Beautifully designed, open, full of light and spacious. The eco touches were such a wonderful touch and being new to eco heating solutions we were impressed by the consistent and comfortable temperature at all times. Great spec and appliances thought and imaginative and effective use of zone lighting. We used the lodge as our base for coastal path walking and managed nearly 50 miles over our 4 night stay. This was only made possible by the incredible wood fired hot tub which rejeuvinated us each evening in preparation for the next trek. A lovely touch that our hosts took the trouble to light the hot tub ready for our arrival and the unexpected delivery of a class bottle of local chardonnay and chocolates was the icing on the cake. To top it all off was the view which was breathtaking! An uninterrupted view of the Dorset countryside in every direction which we enjoyed every evening until the sun set, seeing deer, foxes and many, many pheasants. To top it all off the cost of this trip was reasonable to say the least. We would expect to pay double the price in Cornwall and would not expect the same standard of care and attention that we received. A wonderful location, property, host and experience. We will be back and will be recommending. Lockdown has been so very hard and we wish this enterprise every success now they are back up and running. A huge thank you from us for a most wonderful and memorable stay.

  The spacious apartment is just a few steps from the beach and offers a well-equipped kitchen. It’s perfect for those who enjoy cooking their own meals. The bright windows facing the sea provide sunshine during breakfast (weather permitting). During peak season, it can be quite lively outside the apartment, even late at night. The bedroom is at the back, but unfortunately, you can hear a ventilation system when the window is open. Light sleepers might find this disturbing. We kept the bedroom window closed at night and ventilated through the living room. The apartment is ideally located for long walks, with everything you need within walking distance. You can enjoy the smart TV in the living room or the smaller TV in the bedroom. The bathroom is spacious and well-equipped with both a shower and a bathtub. Overall, the apartment is in good condition, though you can see signs of wear from previous guests. The washer-dryer and dishwasher are very convenient, although the dishwasher’s drying function was broken during our stay and couldn’t be fixed. It still washed well, and drying by hand wasn’t a big issue. We would love to come back.

  This was our second stay this year at this quality apartment. It’s well equipped, ideally situated with excellent views of the beach, close to all amenities and has permit car parking. What’s not to like? Well.......there is some noise from the patrons outside the restaurant downstairs and at weekends live music in the evenings, which we could hear, but it was acceptable. However on the last weekend of our stay (11th and 12th October) it moved into full nightclub mode including some kind of “boombox” sound system obviously located just below the floor of the apartment. From around 8:30 to 11:30 the noise and vibration was tremendous, shaking the floor and windows. When it finally subsided the sounds of clearing up continued into the early hours. Not the best night’s sleep prior to having to vacate the apartment by 9:00am Sunday morning. I’m afraid, this time, we will not be back, unless something is done about the nightclub noise.

  When we arrived at daisy's cottage, we knew it would be a nice experience. Sat in the beautiful Dorset countryside, it was very peaceful. Obviously our son wanted to visit the seaside, so we went to three, Bournemouth, Weymouth and Swanage all at the most 30 minutes drive away and also there is monkey world just round the corner. The facilities were very good and clean, we was left a welcome hamper by our hosts which we thought was a nice touch. There is a small green that me and my son played football on. We came home one late afternoon from a day out and discovered our hosts left a swing ball game which my son was very happy about. Overall we really enjoyed our experience at daisy's cottage and we would highly recommend it.

  We booked Bramble very last minute, on a bit of a whim and are we glad we did? Yes, yes and yes! Bramble has been one of the most serene, scenic and relaxing places we have ever had the good fortune to visit for a holiday. The cottage is very well-equipped, the details throughout make it feel like a home away from home. We were able to visit Corfe castle, Weymouth Beach and the Sealife Centre for fun family days out. But we've had as much fun firing up the hot tub and bbq, just relaxing into family time. The local walks to The Fox and Brewery Farm Shop have been nice and easy enough, even with children! Coming from a busy city, it has been a delight for our senses to be here for a week, Thank you.
