Shortlake Cottage

Great location for coast path walking - Comfortable accommodation

The Water - It had a film on it and made the tea horrible and bits all stuck around the cups/tea pot- Had to clean it out! May I suggest a water filter to be added to the property

La décoration de la maison est très jolie et tous les équipements sont fonctionnels. La vue sur l’île de portland au 1 er étage est incroyable surtout la nuit. Le toit de chaume est vraiment mignon. Maison très typique de cette région de l’Angleterre

Malheureusement, il n’y a pas de rideaux occultants et donc nous avons été réveillés trop tôt par le soleil. Un petit fond d’épicerie dans la cuisine serait appréciable (sel, huile…) pour pouvoir cuisiner

Quiet and well appointed

Nothing I can really complain about , maybe a little more light in the kitchen above the cooker

The location was brilliant as we have family who live in the village and so it was important to be very close by. Also we had a problem which was sorted out almost instantly once I had phoned them to let them know.

There was no lock either end of the bathroom. Maybe some type of blind or curtain upstairs At some point..

Lovely location, quiet and easy to find. All facilities were good and in full working order. We enjoyed walking down to the field to see the little lambs playing and there were plenty of them!

We had a little trouble with the lock on the front door, but the friendly neighbour kindly helped so no need to call the owner. Some of the cutlery was not very clean, probably from previous people staying. No dishwasher as kitchen is small, but full sized oven, fridge freezer and microwave.

The property was fabulous. Great location,well equipped,beautiful quirky and clean interior,full of rustic charm. It was perfect,soo peaceful. Incredible sunsets! Most relaxing place I’ve ever stayed. Thankyou so much to the host

There was nothing I didn’t like.

Great location, quiet, secluded and cosy, perfect for a winter break. Very well laid out and equipped.

Fan heaters were essential as the underfloor heating wouldn’t have been warm enough but this wasn’t a major issue. A log burner would make a welcome addition.

The cottage itself is lovely, the beams and stone walls were charming and the bedroom was a good size. We didn’t particularly struggle with the temperature apart from one very windy evening but felt the underfloor heating did a good job on the whole! The kitchen is fairly well equipped with basic items. Stunning location, smugglers arms down the road is an absolute gem! Walks are abundant.

The cottage would have benefited from a deep clean. Whilst it’s lovely it’s animal friendly, we dont have a dog and there was fur (and a dog biscuit!) on the living room floor. As others have mentioned, the wet room floor was difficult to dry out after a shower due to where the water pools. We struggled without oven gloves and think the cottage would benefit from having some.
