“Accommodation levels were very good although a few things are starting to look a bit tired and used.”

The leather couches and fridge freezer have seen better days, but are still just about acceptable. It would have been nice to have catches on the patio doors when open to prevent them swinging in the breeze and slamming shut. The equipment in the cottage was otherwise of a very good standard and would recommend to anyone to stay. Cleanliness was of a very good standard. Would have been nice to meet the owners.

“The nearest pub is quite a walk away.”

Okay going but not so good coming back.
Mrs Riley July 2019

“A fantastic holiday from a brilliant base and location.”

The accommodation was well stocked, clean and had everything that we needed.
Mrs Mann May 2019

“A home away from home.”

.. A very clean and comfortable self-catering accommodation consisting of spacious bedrooms and living area. Our children really enjoyed spending time in the games room too, which was a bonus. A great location for our holiday with all the places we visited being under an hours drive away. We would definitely come back when we next come to Dorset. Thank you.
Mr Sathyamoorthy May 2019

“This is one of our best holidays till date.”

The cottage was beautiful and very very clean. Superb location, relaxing and calm. The property manager was very polite and our kids thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, it is my 10 year old son who wanted me to write a review definitely as he thoroughly enjoyed it. I will fully recommend this cottage to anyone as we enjoyed everything about it.
Mr Bembridge March 2019

“Having lots of space in the accommodation and the games room was a real bonus”
Mrs Stock February 2019

“We have been here before and love it.”

It is always very clean and well equipped. We contacted Leanne about something and she responded at once. Beautiful area and great dog walks
Mrs Jenkins October 2018

“So pleased we chose The Old Cart Shed, it was perfect.”

Was bigger than we expected and was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was very well equipped and the games room next door was an added bonus. Will definitely be recommending to my friends.
Mr Doddington September 2018

“We where a bit disappointed that nothing was said to us about there being two steps between the living and sleeping areas, or that there were ramps available to us on these steps.”

I had to take my wife out the front door across grass and into our bedroom via french doors at night and in the morning . otherwise the cottage was very good. We also felt it would be good idea to have some grab rails over the bath, as this would help older people not to have a fall. We would like these facts brought to the attention of the owners.
Mrs Bradburn August 2018

“For us the warped gate, which was difficult to close, was a problem as we had a toddler so needed to keep it closed.”

The 4 year old couldn’t open it from outside either when he visited his cousins in the Old Stables. The children loved the barn and it was nice to borrow toys when something was being made or played with but it was dinner time. Being picky- a fly screen would be good at the door!
Mrs Manning December 2017

“We had a brilliant break and the accommodation is so well equipped that our family that live locally were able to visit and there was enough space for us all to get together for a pre-christmas catch up.”

Thank you for the amazing little touches as well the Christmas tree, mince pies and logs for the fire were lovely.

“Amazing cottage”

A family holiday to Dorset with Grandparents, parents a child under 5 & a dog Our stay at the Old Cart Shed surpassed all expectations, we were over the moon with the standard of the cottage, it's location and the local pubs & restaurants (as recommended by the welcome folder in the cottage) The rooms were great sizes (much bigger than we had expected) the beds comfortable, good quality towels in the bathrooms, the living room furniture was cosy & spacious and the quality of the kitchen ware was excellent! We were also very lucky to have such lovely "neighbours" during our week's holiday and fantastic weather - ice-creams on the beach in the sun on the 1st of October!!! We will definitely being booking to stay here again - thoroughly recommended especially for those of you with dogs looking for a good quality holiday
