  The listing of the property was not accurate to the room configuration.

  I asked for a floor plan on a number of occasions and was told one was not available, I now think this was because had we seen a floor plan we would have cancelled the booking. The master in the main house is listed as having a ensuite with a water fall shower, the bathroom with a waterfall shower is accessed from the main kitchen and is also the only toilet on the ground floor so with multiple occupants is in constant use. So to access the bathroom the downstairs bedroom and the unexpected mezzanine bedroom have to walk through main rooms and past the front door, not at all the level of comfort you would expect for a luxury cottage. Their are two mezzanine bedrooms, one in the cottage and one in the main house so these rooms offer no privacy. We travelled to celebrate a big birthday and paid what we thought would get us a level of luxury, instead the bathrooms and mezzanines left us feeling like we were back in university halls, waiting with your wash bag in a kitchen for a bathroom to become free and unable to have a private time with your partner. I was sadden by this as we had previously been pleased with cottages we have booked through Sykes

  Everything about Lee House was perfect!

  It was spotlessly clean & all the bedding, towels, kitchen equipment, crockery & cutlery were as new. The view from the lovely garden was absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time sitting & eating in the garden, the outdoor furniture was very comfortable. The house is very child friendly & our 6 grandchildren spent a lot of time in the hot tub, running around on the lawn & playing outdoor games such as table tennis & croquet that were provided. All the 10 adults joined in as well!! The owners were really friendly & welcoming. One of the many highlights for the children was watching the 3 'on site' donkeys being fed & being able to stroke them! We used a caterer, recommended by the owners, on Saturday night to celebrate one of our daughter's 40th birthday, ksimcockcatering.co.uk, she was excellent & the food she produced was delicious. I initially chose Lee House because of the location, lovely photos on the website & the spacious nature of the property. However, seeing & 'experiencing' the house in person was even better! We all had a wonderful & very relaxing weekend. Would recommend Lee House without reservation to anyone.

  On our arrival we found the property easily, the instructions to get into the house was quick and simple.

  Just a few things to note there was an awful smell in the kitchen coming from the small fridge I am assuming it’s split milk that has never been cleaned. Most of the rooms are clean and updated however some of the rooms are a bit dated and need the old curtains changed to something a bit more modern. Some of the bathroom locks didn't work. We wanted to use the bbq area but unfortunately it wasn’t in a state to be used so we decided not to. The living room sofas need updating, the cushions of the sofa have flattened so it made it really uncomfortable to sit on. Overall we had a good stay the house is really big for big family get togethers, the outdoor space is good and sufficient for families. The dining area is spacious for everyone to eat together. One safety suggestion would be if there was a gate put on the front of driveway, as we had young children we had to be extra cautious because of the road. Had there been a gate we could have closed it off and felt like it was safer for children to run around. Great facilities in the property. We had a day at the beach which was so lovely and only a 5 min drive.

  Having been let down by another property at fairly short notice, on reading the reviews our expectations for the Orchard Country House weren’t great.

  Yes, it was scruffy around the edges and needed modernisation, but its plus points far outweighed the negatives: • All the bedrooms had ensuite facilities and were supplied with good quality clean linen and towels • Two well equipped kitchens with 2 ovens, 2 hobs, 2 microwaves, full size freezer, 1 full size and 1 half size fridge, 2 dishwashers, washing machine and tumble dryer, 4 sinks and plenty of cooking pans, utensils etc. • Ample cutlery and crockery, serving dishes and plates. • Large dining room and separate lounge where we could all eat and sit together • Ample parking and outside seating We have hired large houses before that haven’t been so well equipped. Heating and hot water were fine and the couple of minor issues we had were resolved the same day. Location of the property was excellent with many places to visit along the nearby Jurassic Coast and there’s a lovely café 2 minutes walk away which serves great coffee, cakes and breakfast baps etc.

  We were a group of 19 from Sandwell Ramblers and had an amazing week.

  The property was well laid out and having 2 kitchens was excellent for a large group. Middleton Hall were very generous with supplies, dishwasher tablets, cleaning cloths, toilet rolls on arrival etc. The property had so many areas to relax. The king size rooms were very spacious. Our criteria as a group are for all rooms to be en suite and this property ticked the boxes. The only feedback from the group was that the Wi-Fi was hit and miss and a couple of the bedrooms struggled to get heating to work. The bath definitely needs replacing as the enamel is chipping away and very discoloured. Another observation was there was no where to hang wet coats / clothing following a walk in the rain. The above did not have any affect on a brilliant fun filled week and every member of our party left the property with wonderful memories and a smile on their faces. Thank you Middleton Hall for a fabulous week.
