Utterly disappointing and stressful experience.

A very distressing experience. From the health and safety point of view, there was no illumination or signage and the instructions how to collect the keys were unclear and confusing to the point that we ended up not being able to gain access and, therefore, not being able to stay there for the night that we had paid for. We were obliged to find alternative accommodation having left two phone messages with the host's contact mobile phone and not receiving a reply from them! It is only fair to request for a refund.

Very good

We loved the peace and quiet and the very pretty location.

On the bookings.com itinerary, it stated there was shampoo and conditioner, and we didn't see any. A couple of the dining chairs were a little rickety.

Warm, cosy cottage, in a great location to explore the surrounding areas.

The cottage was really warm and comfortable. We experience rain and stormy weather and were able to dry clothes and shoes quickly and get warm and cosy by the log fire. We liked that the master bedroom had an ensuitem and the kid's room was very comfortable too. Toy box kept the kids entertained.

Wi-Fi coverage upstairs was poor. One of the windows in the twin bedroom was not possible to lock.

Beautiful Cottage, very comfortable and clean. Luci the owner was very helpful and accommodating. Very Pretty Cottage that is a conversion annexed to the main house. Perfect for a quiet weekend next to the wood burner. The bedrooms were very nice & the beds were very comfy. The comfortable sofas in the lounge. Bathroom facilities were excellent.

Quaint cottage in a lovely location

Quaint cottage in a good location. Nice area outside to sit in the morning sun before heading out for the day. Double bed soft but very comfortable.

Some of the crockery (mugs) chipped which was a bit unpleasant to drink from and the sofa and cushions had a slightly unpleasant odour.

Good location for wedding but over priced IMO

Set in nice grounds, upstairs was very clean.

Personally I thought it was very expensive for the standard you get. Downstairs area and pool area look a little tired and dated.

Lovely spot in Dorset with good facilities.

The bedrooms were very nice & the beds were very comfy. The swimming pool & gardens. The comfortable sofas in the lounge. Bathroom facilities were excellent.

The info about local pub & restaurant facilities was out of date & misleading. We were unable to find anywhere in the locality to have a meal on the Sunday night of our arrival & if we had known this we could have brought food with us.

Nice base for a wedding in the area

Lovely, cozy and quiet property.

Minor things that didn’t affect our enjoyment of the stay overall. The microwave did not work and there was no iron or ironing board. There were also no dishwasher tablets.

Superb

Lovely cottage, nice little village. Good location.Friendly owner. Mostly very good information re the property.comfortable and quiet.

.Minor things. No extra garbage bags or specific info re putting out bins. Not enough specific info re which pipes needed to be refilled and how if using pool. A bowl in the kitchen sink would help avoid unecessary splashing and wasting water.

Lovely conversion annexed to the main house. Perfect for a quiet weekend next to the wood burner. The New Inn in Cerne Abbas provides a nice lunch/dinner. Thoughtful owner with good communications. Underfloor heating in the ensuite was very welcome on a chilly morning.

Nothing!

Lovely spot in the Piddle Valley

Homely, comfortable interior. We visited in October and only for 2 nights so didn’t have the chance to explore the area but loved the comfort of the cottage and the Woodburner.

Would have loved the matches to be a bit more visible as took me half and hour to find them!

A unique characterful cottage in a beautiful area.

A lovely quiet location in the small village of Piddletrenthide. Part of the owners house but totally private the cottage was cosy and quirky. We loved the wood burner for the cooler evenings and the fact you could help yourself to wood from the owner’s wood store. The grounds were very pretty and I imagine the pool is great to use in the Summer as the area it was in was secluded and very Mediterranean in feel. The kitchen was very small but well equipped. The 2 bathrooms were spacious and warm. We would recommend the Thimble Inn in the neighbouring village for its friendliness and great food. Very kind to leave a Dorset apple cake and fresh milk.

For 3 nights and four adults it was perfect.

very pleasant autumn break

n/a

There were a few items of maintenance and re crockery cutlery etc that needed addressing .To be honest one needed to live in the property to really notice most of these .We addressed them with te owner who accepted our comments gratefully and was addressing them .This is all that can be asked , it not having a problem that matters it is how a problem managed that is important and we were pleased with response

Brilliant location in the Dorset Downs. Lovely character property with modern conveniences. Large mature garden with a trampoline and a slide which entertained my toddler. We liked the happy little dog too.

There was nothing worth moaning about.

Ruined by disorganised owner

Nice location and comfortable property. Would have been really pleased with our stay if we had not been let down by the owner.

Owner was disorganised. She forgot that we had arranged with her in writing to have a late check-out. As such, we had to race to vacate the property as the next guests were due to arrive. Our booking was based on the owner agreeing to a late check-out and as such our holiday was cut short and plans for the day were ruined. She said that she would arrange a small refund for the inconvenience but she still hasn’t done this or contacted us to explain why we are still waiting.

Wonderful stay despite the weather. We would definitely recommend

Great Information pack with everything we needed for days/nights out. Beautiful house and surrounding countryside. Stunning garden with a lovely pool.

It was all fabulous, just a couple of small things - sofas not clean and one mattress in twin room was too hard

Idyllic village setting close to beautiful Dorset coast and countryside

Such a beautiful cottage to relax in an idyllic setting. There were so many places on the nearby coast and area to explore. But the cottage was also cosy and comfortable to just be in on a couple of rainy afternoons and to listen to the birdsong outside. Lucy was great and provided helpful information on how to locate West Cottage, it was completely Covid safe and the local maps were useful for us to plan walks around Piddletrenthide and neighbouring villages. The milk, orange juice and fresh bread were really welcoming touches and the cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished. Everything you need for a special break has been thought through. There are lots of public footpaths close by and we also enjoyed visiting: Tolpuddle (following the village audio trail from the museum); The Walled Garden at Moreton and Lawrence of Arabia's grave; the National Trust beaches and South West Coast path walks at Hive, Cogden and from Osmington Mills; Abbotsbury Swannery (cuteness overload seeing scores of cygnets); Lytes Cary Manor; Sherborne; Dorchester and Cerne Abbas village/giant. We would highly recommend West Cottage to our family and friends and anyone who loves a beautiful village setting which is also a perfect base for exploring beautiful Dorset.

A tranquil stay in a delightful cottage in a wonderful part of the UK.

Beautifully renovated cottage set in a very large garden. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. Set in a tiny village within striking distance of all the sights and locations tourists love to visit. We loved sitting outside in the garden in the evening with a drink before going out to eat or to cook in.

Absolutely nothing to dislike about this cottage and its location. The cottage is a self contained part of the main house and the host lives on site and provides very helpful local information. Horses and chickens are kept on site and we loved watching them.

Terrific Cottage holiday.

A terrific spacious cottage in lovely grounds with excellent facilities. The cottage had two good sized and very comfortable bedrooms one with a super en suite and the other near the family sized bathroom. The hostess had taken great efforts to be Covid19 compliant taking very serious and appropriate steps which meant we felt confident regarding our health and safety. The cottage is well placed for sightseeing and we managed to get to lots of great walks locally. We would definitely come again.

Cant say there was anything we didnt like.
