"I found there was some elements where lack of cleanliness was a concern which I took photos of, and reported this on."
The garden needed a mow and the furniture was broken which makes it unsafe. The oven isn't fixed in its housing. The second bed was lumpy and was hard to sleep in. Again reported. All pillows were very low grade as well. I would not recommend apart from a good location

"Our stay was generally pleasant, the property is bright, airy and had a nice layout."
Check in was smooth and instructions were provided well in advance. The host is prompt with responses to queries. Things to note: the bed in the small room is very uncomfortable, the mattress needs replacing. There’s no microwave which may not be an issue for others but we needed to sterilise baby bottles so it was a bit of a nuisance using pots and pans. The kitchen is otherwise very well equipped. Although the listing states there’s heating, the controls have been removed so you can’t actually use it which feels a bit dishonest and the weather was quite cool and rainy whilst we were there and we couldn’t dry our clothes. At the time of booking the property was listed as detached, it’s semi detached but this was not an issue and didn’t affect our stay. There’s plenty of storage space for belongings. The garden is a nice place to sit and eat (grass needs cutting though). Overall we were happy with our stay but we would not return purely because the bed give me awful backache!
Thanks for the feeback. We would like to clarify that in the description of our Paradise villa, it is noted that it is a semi-detached property, it is not mentioned that there is a microwave, only an electric oven. Due to the heat in the house, an electric air heater was provided, since it was not the heating season, the heating equipment was not ready, so we are very sorry that you had to experience such inconveniences. Next time you will find both a microwave and a warm house. Thank you for your visit and we hope to see you again. Property Owner

"All in all we had a great experience, the only things we would have found useful were a microwave and a hoover."

"We had a lovely week."
The bungalow was spotless & had everything we needed. The garden was secure which meant we could let our dogs roam free without any worry. Bathrooms are both very nice & both showers were powerful. Brilliant location. Walk to high street, Tesco express, beach & pubs. Short drive to larger shops, Christchurch & numerous beaches. Would definitely recommend ☺️

"The location of this property was just right for us."
Close enough to nice beaches, a nice local pub and a small supermarket. It is also quiet enough to relax in the evenings. The facilities provided were welcome and the home was clean and well-kept. The layout is also nice. Really light and airy. The garden is quite cute as well. I don't think the listing should describe the property as a detached bungalow - it is certainly not detached! This should be amended on the advert, as it is false. It didn't negatively impact our stay, but I do think the reference to a detached property makes it seem more luxurious than it is. I would say that it was overpriced for what you get. We paid just under £1,000 for 4 nights in the middle of July. We may have stayed again if the price was more realistic. We're going to Christchurch again at the end of August but we've chosen another property. Paradise Villa is advertised at a whopping £1,380 for 4 nights at the end of August. It is a lovely little bungalow but it is definitely not worth that amount. It's a good 45-minute walk to Avon Beach and 10-minute drive into Christchurch. Highcliffe beach is a 5-minute walk away but the best beach for utilities etc is Avon beach. So in summary, this holiday home is lovely - clean and a lovely layout - and the location is good. However, it's not detached and definitely not worth upwards of £900 for 4 nights. I would expect to pay that if it was closer to Mudeford and Christchurch centre.
Hi, thank you very much for your lovely feedback. It's a pity that you only had to stay 4 nights. This price you paid is actually for a period of 7 nights. From Saturday to Saturday. 7 nights at Highcliffe Hotel for two people without pets or children costs more than you paid for a two bedroom villa with garden and your pet.And we are very sorry that there was an error in the Sykes cottages house description regarding detached bungalow. Well, we are really glad that you had a nice time at Paradise Villa and thank you again for your lovely feedback. Property Owner

"Great location, lovely property."
Two mins walk to high street with cafes, bakers, supermarkets and takeaways. A 10 min walk to beach, which is dog friendly in parts. Only small issues we found was mattresses particularly in smaller room wasn't comfy and in bigger room was really quite soft. Washing machine wasn't working which we reported, it had been broken the week before, and waiting repair which is fair enough. The week we stayed was quite wet and not warm enough really to dry clothes outside. We searched but could not find heating controls, needed to dry damp jackets and jeans etc
