The serene setting with stable views adds charm, though some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness lapses were noted.
Most guests found the property to be clean and well-presented, with one report of a lapse in cleanliness regarding showers and bedding. This seems to be an exception rather than the rule.
The location is praised for its lovely views and proximity to tourist attractions, though the lack of walking paths directly from the property and the slightly misleading postcode are noted.
Guests find the cottages comfortable, with a good layout and warm atmosphere on arrival. The presence of stables nearby is generally seen as a positive aspect.
Facilities are considered good with useful garden space and storage. Some issues with a dishwasher and a stiff key lock were mentioned, but overall the amenities meet guests' needs.
While some guests were delighted with the complimentary tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, there is a mention of a lack of a welcome pack and an issue with provided hand soap. As gifts are not consistently referenced, a score cannot be accurately provided.

Super. The only criticism was the dirty oven. Needed a deep clean. Really easy parking outside the accommodation's front door. Spaces allocated. Great stay.

It was exactly as described perhaps even better. The directions were good and the facilities and equipment were first class. Highly recommended. Only one fault that we could find was that the bedside light on the left side of the downstairs bedroom didnt work. It wasn't a problem for us but the owner may want to know.

The cottages themselves from the outside look small but as you walk in they are like a tardis. Very spacious, clean, great views and generally lovely. Having the views and stables in your back garden was a wonderful addition. Very quiet at night and only heard the horses when we fully opened the windows. Definitely highly recommend these cottages. Short drive from Weymouth beach and not far from all the sites. We all had such a lovely week away. We would definitely go back.
