“As a family we had a great stay at isallt, highly recommend - spotless cottage and farm grounds - great location - all the family enjoyed as did our sheepdog / would definitely return !”
“Prospect House was a beautiful house. Only a couple of slight issues. Bedroom windows at the front of the house wouldn't open, looked like they'd been painted shut. Which wasn't great as it was hot and humid in the rooms. All bedroom windows could do with blackout curtains or blinds as it was very light early in the mornings. The local pub on is permanently closed but it didn't say that on the write up for the house, which was a bit of a let down.
Other than that is was a stunning location, great places to walk with or without a dog.”
“We loved the location right beside the canal and locks at Stoke Bruerne, and the 4 story tall cottage kept us fit during our stay!!
However, we had issues with workmens vans parking in the limited space behind the row of cottages which is supposed to be solely for residents of the cottages.
We also had concerns re the cleanliness in the basement kitchen, the room always smelt "damp & musty" and there was considerable mould growth within the kitchen cupboards, and mould on kitchen crockery and utensils.”
“We love being part of Sykes Cottages. They are very attentive to us as owners doing all they can for us. We regularly stay in their cottages too. Always friendly and helpful, great!”
“Immaculate, very cosy and has everything you need for a self catering holiday.
Very close to the shops and bus stop with frequent bus service into Weymouth if you prefer not to use your car.
Only a 2 mile walk to Portland Bill light house.”
“Beautiful Cottage! This cottage has everything you need and cleaned to a very high standard. Great location! We will definitely be returning, one of the nicest holidays we’ve had!!”
“I have been booking with Sykes for a number of years as I prefer not using Airbnb. However, if you run into a difficulty Sykes is appalling. There is no way to get through to a human being which is surely the entire point of using them as an agent. A simple problem can take days to rectify.”
“Things I really loved about Barn Cottage: lovely rural farmhouse, a little herb garden outside the front door, plenty of pots, baking trays etc in the kitchen for self-catering, gorgeous huge bath towels, some great games and the stunning river at the end of the lane.
Also, we had a small problem that was promptly and courteously dealt with. Problems happen but it's the way they're dealt with that makes a difference.”
