"The cottage was clean and tidy."
Though nothing wrong with it we found the bed uncomfortable. Some small general maintenance required ie.Toilet seat loose, kitchen tap leaking . Service was very good with issue of a broken oven. Over all very good.

"2 Court Farm is a lovely cottage with character, basic, clean, charming and quaint."
-
"We had a very comfortable stay in the cottage and found it to be clean and well equipped."
A place to wind down, relax and plan daily outings. Good access to the countryside via footpaths - also to the green spaces in the village. One gripe was the downstairs toilet which we did not use due to the system not being positioned properly. Would we stay here again? Yes!
-
"Great location for visiting the area."
Property clean, but in need of some maintenance inside and out. Noticed that this view is shared with previous occupants.

"Comfortable, well equipped cottage."
Great location for walking and touring.
-
"Very nice cottage."
Good location. Able to walk from cottage both in to the countryside and to the local pub which was very good. Will come again but hope minor maintenance issues are dealt with. Both doors to the cottage need changing although I understand this is underway subject to planning. Downstairs toilet seat needs adjustment.

"The cottage was not totally refurbished paint missing on doors etc."
The bottom of the shower pole is loose. The downstairs toilet the lid won't stay up making it difficult to use. The outside light kept flickering. It was of an acceptable standard this year.

"This was our first time booking through Sykes Cottages and the property was exactly as advertised."
It was nice and clean and welcoming and we even had a complimentary pint of milk so we could make a cup of tea while settling in. There is good outdoor space and a barbecue if needed and the location of the cottage is ideally placed for visiting the many attractions in Dorset.

"We loved it and wish we'd booked two weeks instead of one."
It's in a great location, close enough to the village to walk to the shop or one of the pubs but far enough away to feel 'away from it all'. The cottage is lovely and full of character and there was nothing we needed that wasn't provided. There's a strong chance we'll be returning.
