What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a great holiday at Bramshurst, a very modern and warm property in lovely grounds.

  Also the location is excellent for touring the area, and the village itself very pretty and convenient for both Dorchester and Weymouth. We were at first a little taken aback by the 'minimalist' nature of the accommodation, e.g. we are used to finding local books and magazines, DVDs and more info on local attractions in a cottage (families might also expect some toys or board games). That wasn't important to us, but we would have appreciated a broom, mop etc and a few cleaning supplies, and especially more crockery as the provision of just four mugs, plates etc means a lot of washing up or running the dishwasher! Finally we felt that the property handbook needed to be more detailed - for example an explanation of the Velux windows which opened automatically (and loudly!) without warning.

  Loved our stay here.

  It was spacious, warm and comfortable. Well equipped and perfectly located. We walked into Charmouth along the coast path a couple of times and it was a lovely walk. Bag of treats on arrival was nice and there were some lovely things in there, thank you. Definitely would stay again Pool was absolutely freezing as expected with it being outside. Points of note: Garden could do with some maintenance, the paving slabs were loose on the different levels so wobbly if you stood on them. I also was a bit frustrated that I had to make the beds when I got there and the bedding was just dumped in a bag in the room. Rest of the property was clean but I had had a long drive and didn't really want to have to set up all the beds before we could use them.

  This was a nice modern house it was an mezzanine style house with curtains to cover the balcony.

  The house had lots of amenities, including a washer/dryer, dishwasher, small washing line and BBQ! We also had a mini welcome pack which was really helpful (a few dishwasher tablets, cloths, bin bags, washing up liquid, hand soap and a pint of milk in the fridge, plus even doggie biscuits and dog bags.) It was a nice touch and much appreciated! I would say if you were planning on eating in most nights there is no cupboard space to put the food, we used the worktops but ate out nearly every night so it wasn't a problem. The double bed in the upstairs bedroom was quite small (width wise), however there was also a fan which kept us cool. Overall a very enjoyable week, great location not to far from anything, peaceful too, plus off road parking.

  I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

  Admittedly, I was a little concerned at the front door which really needs repainting, but once I was inside I was very happy with it. It was comfortable & warm. I was particularly pleased that a pint of milk had been left in the fridge so that at least o could make a cup of tea. We had a minor issue with the water supply, but someone came round to sort it out within 1 hour. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom & kitchen were clean. The kitchen included a fridge freezer, a microwave oven, a washing machine, coffee machine and a dishwasher. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans, & cooking tools. I was very delighted with the little bag containing tea, coffee, biscuits, flapjacks & fudge. I would definitely use Sykes Cottages again.

  We had a lovely time in Honeypot cottage.

  It exceeded expectations. It was perfectly well equipped and clean and well presented upon arrival. A small clothes line/ drying rack would be useful for beach towels etc. We loved a morning walk in the village, spent time at beautiful hive beach and ate in the restaurant and would recommend. Abbotsbury was a fabulous day trip as was lulworth cove. We ate in the 3 horseshoe pub in burton bradstock and it was excellent and we were recommended the rise restaurant in west bay which didn’t disappoint. The weather was fab and an evening spent on the patio at the cottage or in the new inn pub ended a perfect day. Sorry we hadn’t booked for more than 7 days. We will be back to this coastal area.
