"A very comfortable and cosy property that has all the kitchen equipment you need."
It would have been nice if the cleaner had washed the substantial gull soilings off the garden table before we arrived.
Not having a shower facility upstairs is an issue for those who prefer a shower. Fortunately we brought a shower hosepipe adaptor with us.
The steps to the cottage are an issue for those with mobility challenges. Unfortunately we only saw the red warning text that was right at the end of the cottage description on the website after we had booked and could not cancel.
The location is great, with the pub within walking distance, and we did have a lovely holiday. The garden is very nice too.

"I think Sykes need to improve the description of the property as one of my friends has limited mobility ,It was not explained that there were 27 steps to access the property ."
Also the law states that any flight of steps must be consistent in size this was not the case with the steps going down to the property . Our friend found these steps very difficult . On communicating with the owner I was told that Dream Cottages included this in their description of the property so why haven't Sykes .

"A lovely cottage in a pretty village."
The owner has left her mobile number visible and is available at all times for any queries. Perhaps the cottage description should also include the cottage rule of no smoking/vaping even outside which I have never seen before.
Thankyou for your lovely feedback. We are pleased you loved the cottage. We will certainly update the description to include no vaping. We hope to welcome you back soon.

"It was a lovely property, situated in lovely grounds."
Once we got used to the parking situation, it made it easier! Had a lovely tray of goodies, including a dog biscuit for Winston upon arrival! Everything we needed was there. Met the the lovely host and cleaner on departure. We visited the local pub which served lovely food and people were very friendly and welcoming. Only a short drive to other amenities or nearest town. All in all, a lovely stay and would recommend to others.

Very comfortable with everything we wanted. Lovely well maintained gardens with great garden furniture. The welcome pack which enabled us to enjoy a cuppa & biscuits on arrival was much appreciated as was the bottles of squash (we were very lucky with warm weather). The lounge with super comfy sofas was particularly welcoming- with everyone able to enjoy a comfy seat.

Well positioned for the local pub, beach (with lots of parking) 10 minutes away, Bridport and Weymouth. Definitely not for anyone with mobility problems due to the fairly steep climb from the car parking. Fast internet and good facilities.

All rooms were spotlessly clean as was all the kitchen equipment. Much of the decor and furnishings looked newly refurbished. The pretty garden was delightful and perfect for relaxing in, after a day out. Thank you for the biscuits, milk, tea etc. which were very welcome on our arrival.

"The cottage is situated in a lovely village with a great community pub and surrounded by beautiful landscape but conveniently close to beaches and Bridport."
So far, so good. Our problem with the house was that although relatively spacious and reasonably well -equipped, it was grubby and a bit shabby, and certainly not at the standard we'd expect for the price we paid for our week's stay. The shower wouldn't drain away, and the cubicle was mouldy, and we had to stop halfway through showering to prevent flooding (we noted that this was brought up by previous guests over a month before our visit).There was food beneath the microwave and mould in the bin. When we stripped the beds in the ground floor bedroom, there was mould on the wall in the corner. The carpets were stained, the skirtings dirty. The whole house could do with a really good clean, and it made staying there uncomfortable. Overall , we felt over-charged for the property of that style and condition. It's a shame because it could be really pretty, but it needs an overhaul.

"Great attention to detail has been paid to ensure complete comfort - beautiful Parker Knoll furniture, accommodates 9 seats."
I think you need a photo online of both ends of Lilliput’s lounge to give it its full potential, high quality carpets, fantastic bed mattresses, support pillows and bed linen.
We met the owners who were onsite in the garden when we got back one day during our holiday and they are both very nice.

"Good location and great attention to detail to make you feel welcome and have a hassle-free stay."
The garden is very pleasant and the lounge is very comfortable. The parking is awkward though and the layout of the cottage, although fine for two people, might be tricky for larger groups, especially as there isn’t a dishwasher! Most people who stayed before seemed to have eaten out a lot but that wasn’t so easy In April 2021 because of the lockdown easing rules. Nevertheless we have a lovely few days; great to be able to get out of London!

"Lilliput was a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings."
It was more than adequately equipped and suited our needs to a tee! We were a family of 5 adults meeting up for a long weekend over Easter and we had a great time. The village pub was staggering distance away and they were very accommodating, the sights of Dorset were all on the doorstep and the sea was minutes away. We were able to sit out in the garden, and although it wasn't quite warm enough to eat outside, the facilities were there. The lounge was bright and airy and a great size for a family. All in all, a winner! Stayed April 2017
