  We really enjoyed our stay at Yeomans Cottage.

  Friendly welcome from our host Marie with a lovely cream tea on arrival which was much appreciated. The cottage was great; clean and tidy, plenty big enough for the two of us and had everything we could need. The garden was beautiful and we were encouraged to explore and use it. It was also great to have our own private seating area, with welcome shade in the late afternoon during the really hot spell of weather. There was plenty to do in the area - several National Trust places very close by, walks at Ham Hill and Yeovil country parks plus we weren't too far from the Dorset Coast. We went to Lyne Regis and neighbouring villages and it was only an hour to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, which were both lovely. All in all we had a great holiday and would highly recommend. The only, only, negative really was that which has been commented on before - the shower. I don't know if there is a knack to it but I struggled with it a bit. However, we went knowing this might be an issue so it didn't spoil our holiday. Thank you both for a lovely holiday.

  Very disappointed and decided to leave 4 days into a 7 day stay.

  Expectations were high and after unpacking and the dogs enjoying the garden we spent time looking around the lodge. Cleanliness was a major disappointment. We needed to wash glasses, plates and work surfaces due to a later of grease on them. A frying pan found was worse. The mop for the kitchen was still outside next to the wheelie bin. The bathroom had a mouldy shower mat, radiator thick with grime and dust and shower rail rusty. The bathroom shelf was also of no use as not fitted correctly. Upon looking at the double bed the mattress was just open foam with a topper on it. Also woken up at 6am daily from dogs barking at the owners house. We were expecting peace and tranquility. Toaster didn't work properly and due to the remote location a larger fridge and a useable freezer would have helped. Several items of food left in cupboards which can be a bonus however use by dates of Dec 2021 and Aug 2022 wasn't something that should be in the cupboards. Garden was great for the dogs.

  The owners are a lovely couple.

  The cottage has a homely feel to it. The garden is amazing. We really enjoyed our 5 nights there. Just watch out the hot water is very very hot. It is a shame that it is not a full shower in the bathroom but have spoken to the owner she was going to look into for the future. The shower attachment is a little hit & miss with the temperature so be aware before washing your hair etc with it. We would love to return to the cottage but it really would need an shower in place of the bath as with rheumatoid arthritis in my hands getting out of the bath was difficult.. the sofa was a little low for me but again the owner was going to look at replacing this also in the future. The owner had made us scones /jam & cream... still warm too on arrival. So we would love to know when the updates are done to look at returning.

  It was a magical holiday for me, my Dad and the Beagle Brothers!

  Two 'Thank you' to Pam - 1. Thank you for letting us stay in Sunshine Lodge. It was a marvellous and peaceful stay... And, dog friendly in both gardens - fenced in! The Beagles can not escape! - Hurray! 2. The 'Welcome Pack' was lovely - al eaten by hoomans & Beagle Brothers! The flowers were delightful as well - more homely. A wonderful touch to an amazing vacation. The doggies loved it here - Stolford, nearly a mile to the beach. The first time on a beach for them - sniffing, playing, etc. The coastal path was lovely! Whether rain or shine, we all had to a wonderful stay! A place to explore! We went to Burham-on-Sea, Brean, Porlock, Lynton, Minehead, Watchet, Blue Anchor and Dunster Beach (The Beagle Brothers loved Dunster Beach & Brean - off the lead and having fun!)...

  This is a lovely little cottage in a beautiful location.

  During the heat wave days (July 2022) it was especially good as it can be kept cool and shaded inside. We stayed with our dog, and had chosen this property because it was listed as taking pets. On arrival the owner explained they do not normally take dogs [in this let] but was happy for us to do so (she said Sykes had made a mix up). A few things which would have made this 5 stars for us rather than 4 on this review are that there was no microwave, even though this is in the description of facilities, and no kitchen knives - so self-catering was trickier than it needed to be. There was also a large bag of clothing items (? left behind by a former guest?) in the under stair cupboard. Overall this property fulfilled our needs and we enjoyed our stay at The End.
