Thatched Cottage is very old and comfortable and has all one needs for a quiet relaxing holiday in a fantastic country setting, but needs some internal TLC, the wall as you enter the cottage is breaking away (plaster?
), in the excellent conservatory , and utility quite a few of the Double glazed windows have 'blown' spoiling the wonderful views . Having said this the cottage is well equipped and very comfortable if you want peace and quiet this is the place for you, many eating places and country houses/parks etc all close by, or relax in the lovely gardens with chairs and cushions supplied by the owners, listening to the birds and if up early enough to see the deer walking across the fields, The owner (Karen) who lives opposite the cottage is lovely and has fresh eggs and lovely venison produce if you are not a vegetarian, Both are highly recommended as in general is the Thatched Cottage, if the time and expense allows to fix the above items could be 100% perfect . The 5pm take over time is very late and should be brought in line with most other holiday lets, usually 3pm. (4pm at the very latest)

This was our first visit to the area and we definatley plan to return.
The cottage is very well located (just a 30 â 45 minute drive to some lovely walks and attractions, with Cerne Abbas just a 10 minute drive away), charming and well equipped. Phone signal/wifi is a bit âhit & missâ, but there was good wifi signal in the downstairs bedroom & conservatory (and for us, this was sufficient). The garden is huge & somewhat secure, although I would recommend you keep an eye your pooches as there are some gaps an âescape artistâ could possibly find. It was so tranquil and a very comfortable cottage to stay in. We came with 2 dogs â a senior & a puppy â and we found the book on the coffee table âDorset Dog Walks (or Ronnieâs Ramblesâ both useful and entertaining. Do take the time to meet Karen in the right hand cottage opposite â she is a mine of information & a source of local venison. We are looking forward to returning soon.

The cottage is very comfortable and it was a bonus to have the main bedroom and en-suite downstairs. Two further upstairs bedrooms were also en-suites, which was very useful. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the kitchen had everything that we needed for our stay.The garden was enclosed, so our dogs had a great time, although I'm not sure that they couldn't have cleared the fence if they had seen a deer on the other side! There is a large field next to the property where we were told they could also be exercised.We found the location to be peaceful, yet within a short distance of many places that we wanted to visit, so would definitely return. The staff at Athelhampton could not have been more pleasant, making sure that we had everything we needed, whilst respecting our privacy completely. A fabulous find and we will definitely be back.

We had a great stay at the start of an 'Indian Summer' so consequently enjoyed some pretty decent weather. The accommodation is very clean and well appointed and the bed, at least for us, was very comfortable indeed. A good central position for visiting many Dorset sights such as Kingston Lacy, Minterne House, Hardy's birthplace, West Bay and Weymouth Harbour. Cerne Abbas with it's famous giant is very nearby and is a beautiful village. We had great meals at the Fox and Hounds in Cattistock and also The Greyhound in Sydling St Nicholas - both very friendly pubs. Thank you for a comfortable stay and the recommendations.

Beautiful Garden but Cottage not up to usual "Sykes" Standard As you enter the garden it is so lovely and if you have dogs and children it is so secure and peaceful, we all loved it.
The cottage needs some TLC. Plaster falling off wall as you enter, windows requiring painting. Carpet a little thin from hall into conservatory. The twin bedroom required the most TLC. Kitchen is well equipped and comfortable. Would have been a nice touch to have little bars of soap in the bathrooms as is usual with Sykes Cottages and also towels could have been nicer. Very peaceful area, great to have country walks and 45 minutes to the sea. Good local pubs. However, due to the poor interior in some rooms, including some worn carpet and no walk in shower, we would not stay here again.
