Honeysuckle Cottage

Gorgeous cottage in quiet secluded grounds, very well equipped cottage, it had everything we needed and more, excellent location to explore Dorset. The only sound we could hear was birdsong we even had a couple of visits from a deer at the edge of the garden. Fantastic relaxing few days. Just perfect.

We liked everything

It was full of character, clean, cosy, well stocked with everything you needed. Bed was wonderful. Position was amazing, gardens extensive.

My elderly sister found the stairs on the steep side, they are if you have difficulty. A hand rail on the left going up may solve any problems.

Loved our stay, great facilities and extra little touches that made our stay great

Lovely secluded cottage. We were very happy with our stay. It’s an older property, so as someone over 6 foot, there were a few challenging areas, particularly the shower. However, it didn’t detract from a great week. Many thanks!

How quiet and beautiful it is stepping back in time -did not hear the rain ???!!!

Ran out of hot water

The location of the property is great for visiting Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Tank Museum and more. It is a very scenic cottage with an enclosed garden.

The cottage whilst tucked away off the beaten track, which makes it quiet and secluded and great for romantic getaways or breaks with children as there is plenty of playing space, is actually very close to Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport, West Bay, and lots of good restaurants, local artisanal shops. It is a great base for a holiday.

The bathroom is downstairs, there is no WC upstairs, whilst this was not a problem for us, if you had little children it might be a problem in the night.

The location was amazing, beautiful gardens and surrounding area, very peaceful. Wild life amazing enjoyed watching the pheasants every day. The cottage was lovely very cosy, the sitting room was fine, the beds really comfortable. The fact our little dog was welcome was av bonus.

The cleanliness of the kitchen especially was very bad. When we arrived we did have food with us to cook. Unfortunately the utensils in the kitchen seemed to have a coating of grease on them, as they were hanging above the cooker we can only surmise that someone had used the hob but had not cleaned up after. Both frying pan handles were hanging off and had to be screwed back on then had to soak both for 45mins as there was burnt food in each pan, then scrubbed them for 15 mins until clean. Every glass we pick up had lip marks on and were just put into the cupboard. Cups had not been cleaned properly. The wooden chopping board was to dirty and stained we didn’t want to use it. The kettle was full of lime scale and had to be washed out before use. All the plates were dirty either with grease or small hairs on. The cooker had remnants of food on the oven shelves, the trays that were left in the oven were also greasy so we didn’t use the oven. I had to wipe out the microwave oven as that had remnants of food on the glass plate and on the back of the microwave. The silicone oven gloves had food stuck to them. I could go on but I will leave it at that. As we decided to eat out and not use the basic facilities the kitchen had.

Very private and loads of outside space
