Dorset Thatch Reviews

Emily T.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It's really well kept and fully equipped, perfect for our group of six. The sitting room was super cosy, especially with the wood burner and a full log basket waiting for us. The welcome hamper was a nice touch. It's a short drive to the Symondsbury Estate cafe and shops, which was handy. Plenty of parking tooand the outdoor games room was a bonus. Even in the pouring rain on New Year's, we had a great time!

James

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage! It's beautifully maintained and super well equipped, perfect for a group of six adults. The sitting room is so cosy, especially with the wood burner and logs provided. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The location is great, just a few minutes from the Symondsbury Estate shops and cafe. Plus, there's plenty of parking and an external games room which kept us entertained even during the very wet New Year. Would definitely stay again!

Emma Carter

What a lovely spot! The cottage is cosy and perfectly placed for walks right from the door. We loved soaking in the hot tub under the stars - such a treat. The fire really is something special when litand the bread and coffee upon arrival made us feel so welcomed. Everything we needed for a relaxing escape was there. Absolutely enjoyed it!

Claire

We had a lovely stay! The house is stunning and really well kitted out. All the bedrooms are comfortable for adultsand the kitchen is perfect for family meals. The hot tub was a hit, even if the weather was a bit too warm for it! Getting to local attractions in Dorset was simpleand we loved the cafe and shops nearby on the Symondsbury Estate. Honestly, we'd definitely stay again!

Emily

We really enjoyed our week at Dorset Thatch. The cottage and garden are charmingand the peaceful rural setting was perfect, yet close to Bridport and beaches. Mornings with coffee outside, listening to the birds, felt so relaxing. There was plenty of space for our little one to run around. We did mention some housekeeping points to the owners, but overall, it was a lovely stay. We'd happily return someday!

Emma

This cosy detached cottage was just what we needed for a chill-out escape. The peaceful spot had lovely walks nearbyand the garden was perfect for our dog. She was pretty upset when we left her behind, honestly!

Lucy

We recently stayed at this charming cottage and honestly, it was lovely. The location is perfect-quiet gardens but still close enough to explore the town and coast easily. The place itself was spotless, spaciousand super comfy, with those little touches like the hot tub making it extra special. The staff at Symondsbury were really friendly and helpful too. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful spot!
