What our customers say about their holidays
Peter - Verified booking
We loved our stay at Washingpools & are considering a return visit in the future.
The bed was very comfortable (lovely sheets, duvet cover & pillows). The sofa was also very comfortable We loved looking out & seeing wildlife around us which even included, on one balmy night, Glowworms in the long grassed meadow, a rare occasion for us, my wife had never seen one & it was only the 2nd time for me. Actually a rare event at the start of autumn. The cottage is very close to Chesil Beach (visible from the cottage), an easy/delightful walk & very handy if intending to do some fishing. Now a few criticisms, the entrance door should have a translucent sticker on it so the plain glass panel is visible, my wife walked into it after I had closed it behind her after she had gone out, luckily no physical harm was caused. The wetroom would benefit from having a long-handled squeegee to aid drying out (we used a mop we found), perhaps a shower curtain to restrict the shower spraying the toilet & plain wall next to it. The bedroom is snug & a couple of times I at over 6 foot bumped my head on the shelf which supported the clothes hanging rail (I realise nothing can be done about this, I should have learnt after the first time, but worth warning the unwary like me.) While we were staying one evening we had monsoon-type rain & yes as the note attached to the wood burner was correct, water leaks in when there's heavy rain, It filled a mug in a couple of hours, I think this is a repair that should be a the top of the list to prevent further damage. Lastly, considering this cottage is for 2 people why are there 4 chairs at the table? Only two would mean more room.

We have been to Washingpools before, so knew what we were going go get, but weren't sure how Coronavirus was going to affect our stay.
As it happened, very little - all amenities were still there, including toilet roll, kitchen roll, bin bags, towels and duvet/pillow case covers, cushions for the sofa, so we didn't feel this was any different to other holidays.. The only minor difference was a slightly later check in time of 5pm rather than 3pm to allow more cleaning time - no great hardship (and no change to check-out time of 10am). The place is exactly as described online, combined living room/kitchen with a magnificent sea view, wet room/toilet with shower, and a bedroom with a very comfortable double bed. Duvet was a winter one and the weather was red hot, but the week before had been the coldest August bank holiday ever, so this is completely understandable. As to the local area, the local hotel and cafe are still open for business, and happy to have visitors. The surrounding towns (Bridport/Weymouth/Lyme Regis) were all busier than usual for the second week in September, but we put this down to more people staycationing.. Having said that, the location of Washingpools at the bottom of a market garden, in a village with only one road in (which stops at the sea) is an ideal place for (self) isolation - we could easily have seen no-one for the entire week if we'd have stayed in and around the cottage. All in all, Washingpools in West Bexington is still a brilliant destination for a couple with or without a dog (any more may feel a little cramped).

The setting was perfect.
The cottage was cosy, everything we needed was there including vases which was perfect for our beautiful flowers we were given for our 40th wedding anniversary, which we celebrated whilst we were on our holiday. We would not hesitate to come back again hopefully this year but definitely next year. It was a little piece of heaven. Our dog really enjoyed her stay as well, walks everywhere came home for a rest. Only negative was the sofa had a mind of its own, when you put the leg rest out you had to remember when you went to get up you had to sit up slowly and push legs down slowly or you would be catapulted forward giving my husband great amusement each time it happened.(Laughing as I am remembering this.)We would like to thank you for a wonderful stay. We will always remember our 40th anniversary because of this beautiful place. Mr and Mrs Ashanollah and Cheyenne our dog.

It was nice to see that the outside furniture had been replaced since I went last year.
Also new settee although I personally didnt find it as comfortable as the old one. Also a wooden stand in the shower was a benefit. I only wish the parking could be changed so you didn't have to reverse over the hump in the track as it takes a lot of power to get over it and park in the space. Didn't do my clutch any good and puts me off going in and out. I wouldn't want to be there in continual rain as I dont think I would find it easy to get out. I've been lucky on the three times that I have visited. The position is ideal if you want a relaxing break with your furry companions. It would be useful to provide an update on the condition of the walk through the reeds to the beach as it was almost impossible to get through this time. The mud nearly topped my wellies as I sunk into it and nearly got stuck.

We have stayed at Washingpools for many years.
Recent changes to the property have not been positive. The doors to the bathroom and bedroom do not latch. There are no shelves in the bathroom for toiletries any more. When we arrived, storm Alex was with us, we wanted to light the stove but no logs available. We tried phoning Dream Cottages for some assistance on this, but no reply. Tamarisk Farm is organic and in previous years there was recycling of rubbish and a compost bin for vegetable waste, but no more. The farm has a shop, but there is no mention of this in the visitor information book and it directs you to a farm shop on the other side of Bridport. It seems the cottage has been divorced from the rest of the farm, which is a shame. The location and views are still wonderful and hopefully can't be spoilt, so we will be returning.
