A superb location. Well fitted out. Out of date WiFi - 2.4Ghz only poor quality weak signal. Heating fails to reach bedrooms directly. Lounge thermometer heats up quickly and turns off heating prematurely.

Comfortable , clean, lots of kitchen equipment. Lots of space to Hang clothes including coat hangers. Lovely local art on display. Everything you need is there. Very well presented flat well looked after. Check in time was a little bit late 3pm could have been better. Check out time to early 10am could have been more fitting for our time. A littleRead more rushed that morning. Hide

In general I find this property first class, my only grouse with Original Cottages is that you don't get first option to renew again for the same time to the following year, it's first come first served.

This property was excellent and well stocked as usual, house keepers always do an excellent job. Our issue is with the fact the prices for next year have risen by over 300 in one year, either owner is getting greedy or Wyke Dorset Cottages being taken over by Original Cottages has made the price jump means we will not be staying here in the near fuRead moreture!
