• "We had a great stay at Cointree, property had everything we needed and has been finished to a very high standard."

  We loved everything about it. We had very warm days when we stayed and the air con in the bedroom was very much appreciated & a great addition, the living room was still very warm and hard to keep cool. We met Tracy who was lovely and available had we needed anything. A great stay and we are already thinking about returning

  Thank you Claire, we're glad you enjoyed Cointree and we'd love to see you again! Good luck with the upcoming nuptials. We wish you all the best. Kind regards from us both. Property Owner

• "Great property, well located."

  Well equipped with good kitchen and bathroom and lounge areas. Double bed was a little uncomfortable as mattress was very soft. Kids beds were fine. Parking was a little tricky with other vehicles limiting turning. Lovely view from balcony. Ginger cookies were a treat. Great overall.

  The property was situated so we could plan our days out really well. The owners met us and showed us around when we arrived, we enjoyed the ginger biscuits left for us. The open plan living area and huge windows were amazing. My son has asked several times since being home to go back. Would definitely recommend Cointree.

  There was a slight petrol smell in the twin room but as we were not using that room it didn't bother us. The ginger biscuits were an added bonus and tasted scrummy. Thank you for a lovely stay.

• "We loved our recent holiday at Cointree."

  It has all the facilities that you could ask for - cool in hot weather and warm when it's on the chilly side. We had a great welcome from Tracy after a long journey down to Dorset and the biscuits went down a storm! Cointree is close to all the major "Must See" sites of the county. A very comfortable bed, super kitchen with all the luxuries that make your holiday easy and a great TV with Netflix and many stations to enjoy in the evening. Would thoroughly recommend Cointree.

  Thank you both so much for your kind feedback and for leaving Cointree so clean and tidy. We do appreciate it! We're glad you got to enjoy Dorset and the facilities at Cointree. Very best wishes for us both. Property Owner

• "The property was appointed and modern."

  However, there was no window that could be opened in the main bedroom and we didn't want to sleep with the bi-fold doors open all night. There were no curtains in the second bedroom. When the main doors were opened, there was a very strong smell of manure constantly in the property which meant that we couldn't have the doors open on hot days! When mentioned to the owner about the smell, she said that she was in dispute with the owner of the field in which there were 2 donkeys and putting the manure under the apartment was part of the dispute!

  Thank you for your feedback. There is a pull down blackout blind in the second bedroom and a net curtain. The smell was unfortunate but was due to the farmer opposite spreading manure which sadly is part of country life in this rural area. We are not in dispute with the donkey owners but I do not have any control over where any neighbours manure spread! I did comment that nothing would delight them more than you leaving us a poor review! Property Owner

• "We had a great stay - the accommodation was very comfortable and nicely done."

  Hosts were lovely as well and have put in a lot of thought while doing the place up. The kitchen had everything one needs to put a meal together. There are games for kids, books to read, air conditioning if it gets hot and a heap of maps to give ideas on what to do locally. The nearest town is a short drive away and has dining options. Only downside we faced is on a rainy day we could not get any food delivered to us. We had an issue with the toilet and reported to the hosts. They fixed the problem really quickly. Overall great stay.

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and Cointree was incredibly clean, comfortable and cosy! It had everything we needed. There was even a lovely little welcome package of juice, cider, biscuits and dog treats! One thing which was a bit tricky for me was that there was no garden - just decking so I had to go out late at night to walk the dogs. This wasn’t a huge problem but I just wanted to make dog owners aware. The decked area was enclosed and the dogs did enjoy lounging around on it during the day. A beautiful setting overlooking a field with donkeys and a wonderful view of the night sky! Some lovely walks and fields nearby. A short drive to some lovely pubs and little towns (and the weir).

Thanks for the perfect getaway, can highly recommend 10/10

• "Thank you for a lovely weekend stay at Cointree."

  Everything was as listed and expected from your website. The owners were very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The weather was good enough for a great autumn visit to Stourhead. We also had wonderful massages at the health centre across the courtyard. The therapist was knowledgeable and professional. Thank you.

  Cointree is a beautiful property very comfortable and extremely well maintained and genuinely everything you could ever need supplied, well the donkeys they were an added bonus. Sturminster Newton is a lovely little town within 15 mins max walking distance with a several shops and 3 extremely friendly pubs who serve food. Reception can be hit and miss at property (so switch on Wi-fi calling) before calling the Indian restaurant Mumbai bay does telephone deliveries. As mentioned on other reviews there is a motor bike training centre below but we found the noise/disruption extremely minor but then again we are early risers. Would I visit Cointree again? Most definitely it is a superb location to base yourself to visit Bournemouth, Sandbanks, Weymouth & Durdle door all within an hours drive and there is nothing better than coming back after a hard day exploring to the beautiful Cointree to relax on the balcony with a glass of wine and enjoy the scenery and of course the donkeys

• "What more can we say!"

  Cointree had everything that we required to enjoy a well deserved relaxing holiday. We were surprised by the size of the property! The balcony was extremely inviting on the sunny days to sit out and read and at night to lay back and watch the shooting stars. The new mattress which turned up a couple of days into our stay, is so deep and comfortable, although i didn't think there was anything wrong with the mattress which it was exchanged for. Yes it was hot at night, but it would have been hot in any household when we were there. Fans were on hand to help with this and they were quieter than the ones we have at home. There was a comment about the fuel smell from the business below in the mornings and the noise from the door at 8am. When we read this just prior to leaving our home in Cornwall we was expecting to experience this. All i can say is..... We didn't!! Thankyou so much Richard and Tracy for such a lovely stay and sharing your property with the people who want to explore/visit Dorset. A big thankyou to the whole family! We hope to be back sometime.

• "We had a wonderful stay at lovely Cointree, It was perfect."

  Anyone who finds fault with any aspect of it needs to get a life, stay at home, & leave those of us who love it more chance of getting a lovely holiday in Cointree. The bed was low as one hard to please reviewer moaned about, but we are two 70 year olds & had no problems with it, in fact it was very comfortable. It is above a motor bike storage garage, but the whole time we were at Cointree we smelt no petrol & heard very little sound. When people complain of fluff from the new towels making a mess, I just wondered if some make a career of moaning!! We had a lovely warm welcome from Tracy & a lovely welcome pack of goodies. I think the donkeys will miss their daily treat's of carrots & cucumber!! (Cut into pieces) Their antic's were so funny to watch from the magnificent balcony. This is a modern, warm, cosy & bright accommodation, & we loved it. It's an easy walk into Sturminster Newton, & you can cut the corner off & go through the old Mill grounds, along the bank of the Stour, across the recreation ground & into town. There are some lovely places to visit, & some great walks to have. We loved it & hope to return soon. Mike & Linda

• "The accommodation was lovely, although it was very hot inside."

  The king size bed at the back of the property was really low and soft, with a really thick winter duvet which made it too uncomfortable to sleep in as it was so hot. We decided to sleep in the room at the front which had 2 single beds. They were more comfortable but still had winter duvets on which were too hot for the time of year. We also had to sleep with the window shut as the noise from the A road was disturbing us, the traffic is constant at 60mph. We took our 2 dogs with us and found that the balcony was open so they could have escaped down the stairs and ran into the road. The owner put some board there for us so this was ok. We did miss having a garden for them as before bed we had to take them out and walk along the grass verge in complete darkness on the A road. A major point to mention was the overwhelming smell of petrol all the time in the property. A motorcycle training business is run from underneath the property and at 8am every day we were woken up from the door opening and the bikes being moved outside . If we left the windows and doors open we found the smell of petrol eased a bit but it was always present. The towels provided were new and because they hadn’t been washed they were not absorbent and left bits of red fluff everywhere. The remote for the tv stopped working so we knocked at the owners home but they were out, so we had to go and buy some ourselves. The area itself is lovely, with a short walk into the town centre. We went to a lovely pub called The White Hart, lovely and friendly with great food. There is a Coop store in the little town centre that is handy . The Bull Tavern pub was near to us too and was great. Plenty of nice fields to walk the dogs in. Went to Durdle Door, Dorchester, Lyme Regis , Shaftesbury and Cerne Abbas. Overall had a lovely time, good base to stay and travel around Dorset. Would be better to stay here if you didn’t have dogs.

  Thank you for taking the time to review our new holiday accommodation. Your feedback is appreciated and has very much been taken on board. We are glad you liked the accommodation, area and dog walking. It is such a shame, however, you did not contact us at the time to sort the issues you had, the majority of which could have been sorted straight away. We encourage our guests to contact us via the phone numbers provided if we are not at home and read the welcome pack which suggests dog walks where you only need to cross the road not walk along it! The windows and doors have had heat resistant film applied and a gate for the balcony, a new double bed and cooler bedding are imminent!” Property Owner
