Budmouth

The Budmouth was without doubt one of the best we have stayed in since we moved to Sykes, un fortunately the access road was some what restricted due to water pipe replacement at the time of our stay which was all cleared by the time of our departure, the facilities where perfect the location gave you a great deal of option without having to go into crowded Weymouth, on departure day I mention to member of staff the need for some minor issues ie.

radiator loose and shower rail loose in lower bathroom ,I tried to vacuum which didn't seem to work on inspection the back was so full it looked as though i had ever been emptied, he noted my concerns and said hr would report it , Clearly the cleaning staff only they don't look at problems

Lovely stay at this accomodation.

We had a lovely stay in Budmouth.

The accommodation was very comfortable and just how the pictures showed it to be. Although the weather wasn’t kind to us, we had great trips to Lyme Regis, Lolworth Cove, Durdle Dor and Corfe Castle. Weymouth town was very run down sadly, but the harbour area was good and we had a great meal in the Ship Inn. We had morning coffee in the garden centre in Upwey each morning which was great, fab home made cakes and sausage rolls. Two lovely meals in the Royal Standard pub. Everyone one was so lovely and we got chatting to several local residents. Everywhere was so dog friendly, our little Shihtzu was welcomed everywhere apart from National Trust properties. The only gripe we had was when we stripped the bed upstairs, when departing, the mattress cover and pillow protectors were very stained. Apart from that it was a very clean accommodation.

We had a very comfortable stay the cottage is amazing and the grounds are beautiful, its in a perfect spot and we loved the fact it was so quiet and and the cottage offered everything we needed.

It was perfectly situated, a 9 minute drive to the beach and town. I would definitely recommend a visit. I am planning on visiting again with the rest of my family, regularly. The evening visit from the deer was a nice surprise.

We love this cottage and this stay was the 3rd year that we have stayed here.

Beautiful property, area and weather, it's usually lovely when we visit. Thank you for all the contact during and before our stay.

We had a problem with the cooker ring staying on.

We contacted the accommodation management team and they came and tested everything. To check it was functioning correctly to manufacturers standards and we had no more issues with it. Thank you for their prompt attendance. We loved the cottage, its location, and the easy access by car to places of interest. We would come back and stay again in the future.

Budmouth was a well equipped and on the whole well designed and comfortable unit.

It is in attractive surroundings and has easy access to many areas. I couldn't alter the heat control on the shower and when reported it was promptly attended to. Just one or two things missing; egg cups and a kitchen spray to clean the surfaces during our stay. We enjoyed our stay, it was a good stay,

Generally nice tranquil stay but you have a serious ANT problem!

!! Kitchen was crawling with them, in cupboards, fridge and even getting into the kettle. You seriously need to sort this, had to buy containers for our food to safeguard. Otherwise nice place to stay, it's a bit out the way so you will need a car but walk to Upwey stn only 25 mins away.

What a great place to stay, we really enjoyed our week.

A great base to get to many local attractions. We tended to go out in the daytime and stayed in on the evening. The only small thing we would say for us is that the frying pan was scratched and not stable on the cooker and no medium size pans for cooking.

Great location and very quiet

Lovely accommodation very private but handy for local transport.

Everything you need fir a great holiday

Lovely property, great location.

Cleaning could have been a little better, found several dead wood lice under bedside table in downstairs bedroom. Would happily stay and recommend to others

Very light airy space.

All clean and tidy on arrival. Facilities ok, we felt the kitchen could do with a few more pieces of equipment ie serving dishes, jugs, and a butter dish. Excellent showers. Beds comfortable. Plenty of parking.

We stayed in Budmouth this time, we usually stay in one of the larger ones.

Manor Farm cottages never fail us, lovely clean and comfortable. Everything you need was provided, good information pack. The beds are very comfortable. These cottages are in an ideal rural village setting, plenty of lovely walks and not far from the beach at Weymouth. We love staying at Manor farm and would highly recommend it

The property and location were perfect, just as advertised and very comfortable.

Would definitely recommend to others and we will book again as a good location to explore the area. Very dog friendly and lots of public footpaths to walk from the accommodation.

Lovely contemporary accommodation with all modern home comforts and comfy beds.

...plus 2 bathrooms. Ideal location ( with car) for Dorchester and Weymouth. And nearby footpaths for country walks. We really enjoyed our short stay and will probably return.

The property has super potential and is in a great location for visiting the local area and all it has to offer.

The standard of the equipment provided left a little bit to be desired. No colander in the kitchen, and an airer of some description would have been handy. Our main issue however was with the cleanliness of the property. On arrival we noticed that the bedding in the double bed was filthy, with dirt all over the duvet cover. To their credit, the staff and cleaning team went out of their way to deal with this, but this just shouldn’t happen. As the week went on it became clearer and clearer that the property had just not been cleaned thoroughly either between stays or in terms of longer term cleanliness and house keeping. The standard was just not acceptable. When you are paying the kind of money that Sykes charge, and the mark up for ‘management’ of the booking is getting higher and higher, and given that check out times are earlier and check in times continue to be much later in the day than pre covid, there really is no excuse for a poor standard of cleanliness. Must try harder !

Owners will need to buy new garden furniture it was on its last legs.

But overall loved it.

The marketing images of the property do not demonstrate the poor wear and tear or cleanliness of the property.

When we arrived to the property on the outset it looked lovely however this soon changed upon entering the property. Whilst the property hadn’t been cleaned, the dirt and grime wasn’t just from one missed cleaning this had been built up over time from a lack of thorough cleaning. The internal walls, roller blinds, picture frames, windows, shower, outside table and chairs were filthy dirty with stains, dust, dirt cobwebs or dirty hand marks. The internal doors were pealing and some had chunks missing, curtain in living room had holes, sofa cushions and sofa had food stains, kitchen cupboards were worn and starting to peal at the bottom the outdoor furniture was dirty, rusty and covered in bird poo. Thankfully, I had taken my own cleaning stuff, blankets to cover the sofas, pillow cases etc. We also had wonderful weather so we spent most of our time at the beach. Since returning home I raised the issue with the owner who apologised and assured me that she would put things right, so hopefully future customers don’t have same experience.

Lovely cottage in quiet country location but still close enough to Weymouth.

All facilities in good working order, hot water when needed, good shower, comfortable beds. Overall a lovely place to stay, would recommend and would stay again.

Lovely cottage in a quiet area, we really enjoyed our stay here and we will be booking again.

Accurate description of the property and all to expectation.

Delightful quiet location. Attention paid to current Covid restrictions. Felt safe and satisfied with accommodation. Ideal location for many of Dorset’s attractions.

Very good position on the out skirts of Weymouth, very quite location.

Every thing you need in the accommodation. We were contacted before our arrival and when we were there to make sure all was ok. Good parking facilities and soft lighting at night to make it a welcoming return when returning in the dark. Over all a very comfortable place to stay and will be coming back when we are down in Dorset again.

Lovely cottage in a great setting, easily accessible to Weymouth and the Jurassic coast.

Lots of wildlife on the doorstep (or decking!) bats, birds, sheep, bunnies …

Excellent property in a lovely village.

Ideally situated for our requirements. Would definitely recommend. Had a great holiday, thanks.

This was my second visit to Budmouth and I have a third visit booked in September 2021.

I think the property is looking a little tired. The towels and tea towels plus pillows and crockery especially the mugs could do with looking at and there was a suspicious stain in the downstairs bedroom which could have come from the upstairs shower room. Having said this I would still recommend this beautiful little haven and look forward to my return again later in the year.

Budmouth is a beautiful place, my family, plus our little dog, had the best holiday, we booked it before lockdown with 2 other families, who stayed in Bramshurst and Shepherd Oak.

We visited Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Portland Bill, Weymouth, West Bay and Chesil Beach, which were stunning, even in the wind and rain! We need to come back in sunnier weather, many thanks! The Cash family

This was our third visit in 4 years.

Lovely accommodation. The area has poor to zero 4G reception and the internet is slow and intermittent compared with where we live. Freeview is limited to basic channels. OK if you want a peaceful tech-free holiday (which is not a problem of course) but even looking up attractions or routes means going back to a paper based system of brochures and maps. You need to be prepared for that.

We had lovely holiday and were very impressed with Budmouth.

Would love to visit again and have recommended it to friends and family.

Everything was spot on , very nice base to venture out from to enjoy the area.

Owner of property went above and beyond, checking that we had settled in and nothing was too much trouble for her . Would definitely be staying here again in the future ,and would highly recommend this property.

What a lovely place to stay, peaceful and comfortable with probably the best bed I have ever slept in.

Also very convenient for visiting the surrounding areas. We had a great stay

both showers did not drain properly.

a plunger would be a good idea? The upstairs bedroom is not separated from the lunge below, so noise can be a problem. Overall, we were very pleased with our accommodation.

We had a fantastic holiday at Manor Meadow Farm Cottages in the Budmouth cottage.

The cottage was really well equipped and very comfortable. We chose Budmouth for its seemingly peaceful location and we weren’t disappointed. We particularly liked the private patio area. We would definitely recommend the cottage to family and friends and would love to one day return maybe with a group of friends to enjoy the site altogether.

Excellent location,property excellent we would revisit this location and property hopefully next year.

Place very peaceful,

Budmouth is a lovely holiday cottage in a beautiful setting.

Had everything you needed (only thing missing we thought of was kitchen roll!) Even though attached, soundproofing excellent and could hear nothing from next cottage! Well placed between Weymouth and Dorchester. So much to see and do in the area. Would recommend to friends and family.

Budmouth is a very nice holiday home.

It is well maintained and has everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. Just one downside - if the weather is warm then the main bedroom upstairs gets extremely warm and can make sleeping difficult in our experience. Otherwise great location and a lovely stream just a short walk down the road where our grandchildren fished with nets every evening and had great fun!

Unbroken sunshine and 30C all day in Dorset overwhelmed all other considerations.

An excellent holiday cottage.

My friend and I couldn't fault it in any way. Clean and so so comfortable. We would highly recommend it. Lots to do in the area as well.

My comments on the Everdene feedback form apply to Budmouth

Budmouth is a gem of a holiday cottage.

Facilities are plentiful and of high quality. Very clean on arrival, comfortable beds with luxury linen and towels. Outdoor patio area really great for when baby sleeping! We would definitely book again.

The cottages appeared to be new and purpose built to a very high standard.

There was ample car parking and very pleasant grounds. There were a couple of pubs and the Wey wishing well all well within 20 mins walking distance. Weymouth itself is a short car journey but we stayed off season which made quite a difference. This group of cottages is well worth considering if visiting the Weymouth area.
