The Blue Cottage

• "The property is very clean but it has problems."

  The kitchen is effectively in a basement at the rear and is bit of a disaster. It's small, there's no real space to put your food. There is an unusable wooden table and 6 chairs which a family could not eat at. We ate in the 1st floor living area, which means you have to go up and down 2 flights of stairs. The kitchen also has in it a foldable metal table and chairs for use on the raised wooden patio at the rear. The steps on the raised wooden patio are not straight and have splitting chicken wire on them. Both showers are very small especially the one in the en-suite Another resident informed us that parking is only for one car not the 2 stated

• "We had a fantastic holiday at Blue Cottage."

  Very well presented and lovely decor. I'll start from bottom of the house to 4th floor. The house had everything you needed from cooking facilities: oven/hob, microwave, kettle including all the utensils. The trays were a very thoughtful item to help carry dinner up the 2-3 flights of stairs. Lounge/dining room was spacious, TV had access to Netflix, little touches like board games too. Bedding was well presented with plenty of hanging space for your holiday clothes. 2 bathrooms with a bath and shower. Top bedroom with balcony was stunning, we ended up cancelling our table reservation out for evening dinner to instead sit on the balcony and eat watching the sunset. Constructive feedback- List all the little details on the website as we were not aware of absolutely everything they had in the house - for example, we brought our own high chair, bath anti slip mat for the little one, own iron, etc when we could have saved space in the very full car as the holiday house had it all.

• "We enjoyed our stay at Blue Cottage."

  It was very clean, and the beds very comfortable. There is space to park the car through a secure gate, which is where we accessed the door through to the kitchen. The road leading to the property is one way, and can get busy. We looked out for the Coop and knew then to slow down for the gate to the property. The property is over 4 floors, with lovely views from the balcony on the top floor. Thanks for supplying some books games and films, they helped on a rainy afternoon. It was all well stocked with Kitchen utensils, dishwasher kettle and toaster. There is a washing machine and iron/ ironing board. We spent time sightseeing and walking In Portland. Some amazing views across to Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast. The road to / from Chesil beach is very steep, need some sensible shoes! I would recommend Blue Cottage.

• "Stayed at the Blue Cottage for 3 days."

  Blown away by the large balcony on the top floor and what a view. Wonderful. Furnished really well and very clean. The bus stop was very near so it gave us an opportunity to explore the area withoit having to drive. A real bonus. The 6 of us really enjoyed our stay. We met the owner when we left, a nice very helpful lady.

• "We had a lovely stay at the Blue Cottage , very elegant and neutral colours and spacious."

  Beds where super comfy. Kitchen had everything you needed for a weeks stay. Amazing sea view from the balcony. Unfortunately the main oven had dried up white grease all over in the bottom of oven. After cleaning the oven , I found out it wasn't even working. The shower heads in both bathrooms need some serious limescale removal treatment. This lovely cottage is not suitable for a familys with young children as it has lots of stairs and no child stairgates on foor of living room & bedrooms. Also not suitable for people with mobility issues. Sorry to say we won't be able to stay there again

  Hello, thank you for taking the time to review the cottage, our goal is to provide a five star service and we are sorry that the property didn't meet your expectations. We will check the oven and make any changes needed to make sure it is working efficiently. Concerning the cleanliness, we take pride in our cleaning and this description is consistent with previous reviews so we will make sure this doesn't happen again. It is also stated in our house rules, that the cottage should be left the same way it was met. But unfortunately there were many stains and writing on the walls, taking us two days to clean up. We suggest you leave other properties you rent in better condition as we only have a short time for the turnover. We do not provide stair gates and in regards to the mobility issues, it is clearly stated in the description that the house is over three floors. But we hope that you had a wonderful stay with your family. Property Owner

• "We were very pleased with the property."

  There were a couple of issues which were dealt with but perhaps could have been avoided. The contact number for the owner is incorrect on the information sent out. Luckily I was able to solve that issue. There is no cot available. This needs updating on the website. More precise information regarding where to park at the back of the property would be helpful. Details on how to use the appliances and turning on the fuse switches would also be useful and would have saved the owner receiving several calls from me. We would thoroughly recommend this lovely, well situated property and hope to revisit in the future.

  Thank you for your review, we will take this feedback on board to provide a better service. We have checked the contact information provided and updated it. The cot is provided upon request, however we will also make sure that we highlight this in the description. In regards to parking, there are two spaces behind the house for guests to park, one is designated parking for the house and the other is for visitors. All the guides for the appliances are in the cupboard beside the oven, but we have also recently added the guide for the oven to the folder. Concerning the fuse switches those do not need to be touched as they should always remain on. Thank you for choosing us and for your review. Property Owner
