"This was our second visit and again, we were very pleased with the cottage."
We enjoyed out stay very much.
-
"Our only disappointment was not being able to spend more time in this lovely cottage!"
We were in Dorset for a wedding. All three bedrooms suited our group. The walk in shower was perfect for my mother. The kitchen was big enough for 5 of us to prepare and eat breakfast. The garden looked lovely. The welcome basket was generous and much appreciated. Because there’s so much to explore in the area, we may well return for a ‘proper holiday’.

"Relaxing, very comfortable, clean and well equipped throughout."
Lovely patio area and compact well stocked garden. Generous welcome pack. Parking space at the front, plenty of space at the main road a few minutes walk. Highly recommended
-
"This is a delightful cottage with a beautiful small garden."
Well equipped with all that’s required for a great stay. Peaceful location. The gift was superb and enjoyed enormously. Thank you. Cerne Abbas is an easy walk from the cottage. Perfect few days. Highly recommended. PS The beds are very comfortable but our only complaint is the waterproof cover on the double bed. It makes one very hot.

"The cottage is beautifully furnished, has everything you could need, with a lovely garden and is a short stroll from Cerne Abbas village centre."
Parking is literally outside the front door. We found it a most relaxing place to stay; so quiet, and the bed was comfy. Cerne Abbas has three pubs, a shop, an old abbey and is surrounded by fields, hills and woods. It is a short drive from many places of interest too. We loved it there!

"Excellent accommodation, particularly for a short stay on a working weekend."
-
"Lovely quiet setting and good homely accommodation with a lovely aspect and its tranquil garden is a real asset."
Location good for visiting other areas and further south to the coast. We appreciated the selection of kitchen appliances and the welcome pack. Beds were nice and comfortable

"We had a lovely short stay at Blueberry cottage."
The cottage is so comfortable and very well equipped, the owners have thought of everything for their guests. The cottage is also well places for a short stroll into the picture-postcard village and a perfect position for exploring Dorset. We loved it so much we are going to definitely be back, but for longer next time. Thank you!

"The cottage was lovely & in a perfect setting."
Very impressed with the property, I would suggest a different shower head as this was the only area that needed improving. The welcoming hamper was wonderful. I am sure we will book again, loved the decor & pictures & the kitchen clock was a delight. 100% recommend. Another excellent stay with Sykes.

"Blueberry cottage was exactly as described, in a quiet peaceful location with all amenities just a 10min walk away."
We had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend it.
-
"Very comfortable quiet spacious house with everything you require for self catering."
A lot of thought has gone into the decoration and the chosen theme, right down to the pictures, cushions, lampshades and even the sheep egg cups! Although the weather was not suitable for us to use the garden I could imagine in summer it would be lovely. There are lots of walks from the house and with three pubs, a tearoom and a truly amazing village store which is open seven days a week, you are spoilt for choice. I recommend this property.

"Our second stay at blueberry cottage ."
Well decorated comfortable cottage in a lovely dorset village.welcome pack is a lovely touch.
-
"Very clean and comfortable cottage in a good location for lots that Dorset has to offer."
On street parking is quite a small space if you have a bigger car but we found somewhere to park near the main road which was fine. Would definitely consider staying here again.
-
"A home from home!"
Incredibly comfortable and well equipped. Lovely garden to relax in with bonus view of the giant. We found the property an excellent base to visit old favourite places and discover new ones. Will definitely stay there again.
-
"A well appointed cottage close to local amenities."
Tastefully decorated with a lovely private garden. Set on the edge of a beautiful village with walks from the doorstep. The village has a shop/post office and three pubs that serve tasty food. Fish and chip can visits Thursday evening and is well worth a visit.
-
"A most charming cottage located just 5 minutes walk from the village centre in a quiet location."
Well equipped and very comfortable. Every facility you would expect or need. Very clean and a lovely 'welcome pack' with a number of local delicacies and other provisions.
-
"Lovely relaxing stay at Bluebell cottage."
Cottage was immaculate, well appointed and beautifully decorated. The welcome pack was over and above our expectations and contained some lovely treats! Fab view of the giant from the end of the garden! Could not have asked for more. Thank you!
-
"What a beautiful home; just like a show home created by design experts."
The colour scheme is so peaceful: the decorations are original and amusing. The cottage is situated in a quiet road with no problems about parking. It is only a short walk to the centre of the village and the excellent grocery shop and Post Office within. We appreciated the generous welcome gifts which gave us a wonderful start to our holiday. We were looking for a comfortable and relaxing holiday and the cottage was wonderfully situated to give us access to all the local attractions. The shop, pubs and café in the village were very convenient and made a nice change from cooking at home. However, cooking at the cottage was a pleasure and provided all the equipment that we might have needed. The cottage owners clearly knew how to make their guests welcome. It was clear from the beginning that we were not going to be disappointed. We will certainly hope to return to Blueberry Cottage in the near future and feel sure that we will once again enjoy a relaxing and revitalising holiday.

The owners had really taken care to decorate the cottage tastefully and left us a lovely basket of Christmas treats. The cottage is very comfortable and had everything we needed. Cerne Abbas is a great little village, very quaint will 3 lovely pubs and a local shop, it is a good base for exploring the coast and other sites in Dorset.

"We cannot say enough good things about Blueberry Cottage!"
We were looking for a comfortable, cosy place to relax for a few days and we were not disappointed. It is very apparent that the owners have put a lot of thought into the comfort of their guests. We especially liked the calmness and serenity of the decor and the furniture with lovely touches around the place like snug throws and the the burner. We needed for no essentials when we stayed and very much look forward to returning.

"Nice location with handy grocery shop and couple of pubs close by."

There's plenty to see and do to keep you entertained during your stay, including the quirky experience of badger watching, or if that's not your thing, take a scenic stroll through the well-maintained gardens of Mapperton House, a striking sandstone manor, or spend a fun-filled day with the family at Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens.
