A very helpful company in booking our very last minute (same day) holiday. Our apartment was a 10 minute walk down to the beach, & only a 5 minute walk to the bus stops, so very useful to be able to p... See more

perfect location for walking the south west coastpath

A very helpful company in booking our very last minute (same day) holiday. Our apartment was a 10 minute walk down to the beach, & only a 5 minute walk to the bus stops, so very useful to be able to park the car & not use it for the whole week. Apartment very comfortable & convenient

Booking with Dorset Cottages

Booked a cottage through the website and the whole process was really straightforward. The listing was clear with accurate photos and helpful details, and the booking confirmation came through quickly.

A modern sophisticated place to stay with superb views. Well equipped kitchen , comfortable beds, large television. Was very reluctant to leave.

For the not so young, do remember there are stairs up to the first floor and thence another flight of stairs from bedrooms to kitchen, sitting room.

Very welcoming

Very welcoming, has everything you would need for a good stay. Close to town, beach, shops and steam railway. Mostly comfortable in the flat except for the lounge sofa which is a little tired now. Otherwise warm.

Super short break

Super short break. Capstone was perfect for our needs (4 bedrooms, min 2 bathrooms. For 4 of us!) and very comfortable and luxurious. Very well equipped kitchen (there was even a zester!) including a bread knife, which is so rare in rental properties. In mid November we didn’t expect to use the outside furniture or even the conservatory and the lounge was enough for us all to spread out. The location is perfect - close to sea, shops and supermarkets and the off-road parking for two cars was great. Good amount of printed information and guest books available in the property. We liaised with Dorset Cottages before and after our trip and Karen was helpful and efficient.

Honeysuckle Cottage is absolutely…

Honeysuckle Cottage is absolutely delightful! We had a wonderful week’s stay. The cottage is beautifully presented and pretty much everything is catered for. The flexibility of space with the annexe worked really well for us. The beds were super comfy and it was incredibly peaceful. Loved The Scott’s Arms too!

What a joke…..


Dealing with this company was one of the worst experiences I’ve had booking a holiday.. They are disorganised and they lie about anything and everything - you will be gaslight during the awful process.. This is not a business with any integrity, it is a complete joke. Do not waste your time or money
