Cliff Farm No. 2 Cottage

• "Excellent is a good starting point!"

  We were desperate for a break after a bereavement and stresses of running my own business. We wanted to shut out the ‘background noise’ and have a chill with our three dogs. Jill and Alan gave us a warm welcome and the cottage is lovely: warm and welcoming! The calmness and silence were a tonic. Brilliant and organised set up with everything considered and simple instructions. We would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage as an excellent base for walking with dogs, lovely villages and towns with some very good pub lunches where the dogs were welcomed. Price-wise we think that it is excellent value for money! Suffice to say, that we booked again with Sykes for Jill and Alan’s site before we left! If that is not a recommendation then I do not know what is! Many thanks to Jill, Alan and Sykes Cottages.

• "Firstly we would just like to say that we loved our stay here and the cottage is really lovely in a great location."

  Our only concern is the issue with the footfall that use the gate to the driveway. This consisted of the owners themselves, window cleaner, gardener and others who we think were staying or residing behind us. All of these at some stage left the gate open which is where the issue lies. We were lucky that our dog didn't escape from the garden in these instances. Other families might not be so lucky which is why we think if the cottage is advertised as dog friendly then this doesn't just mean allowing dogs. It means that the cottage should be safe for dogs as well. We MUST stress that this was our only issue and everything else was perfect. Apologies if this offends the owners because they were lovely people, it's just a safety concern for dogs and their owners.

• "Lovely cottage and owners were great."

  Location is perfect for walks and the centre of the village is within 5 minutes walk. One caveat for potential dog owners is the garden is not fully enclosed so potential for dogs to escape onto the road. Maybe a fence around the lawned area and an outside light above the patio doors would be a beneficial improvement. Overall lovely stay and would be happy to recommend.

  2 Cottage. The owners Alan and Jill are fabulous they are so very helpful and they care about the property and that is absolutely reflected in everything about it When we arrived the first thing that we noticed was how clean and pristine the cottage was we were even greeted with a lovely bottle of wine. Beyond this amazing property are the views and the walks, you can almost park up your car and not need it again until you are ready to leave. If you want hill and cliff side walking, you have it, if you want the beach, you have it, local shops and pubs its all right on the doorstep. I can clearly see why people that book here return year after year after year. Thank you to the owners Alan and Jill for allowing us to experience this little bit of peace and tranquillity in amazing surroundings.

  The cottage is situated in a perfect place for walking on the cliffs and only minutes away in the car from the local beach and the village and only 2 miles from Bridport. We didn't need to go any further afield. The cottage was spotless on arrival, very comfortable, warm and very well equipped. A haven to relax in before and after a trip out. We had 3 dogs with us and it was very easy to walk them in the garden or local area. The bathroom and separate loo are on the ground floor and are modern and clean. The kitchen is modern and lovely and links through to the separate lounge which is light, cosy and comfortable. All in all a first class place to enjoy a relaxing break.
