“Marles Farmhouse was incredible!”

So spacious and it has everything imaginable that you need for a weeks holiday!

“We had a great time; the house was immaculate and very roomy and comfortable.”

The garden was lovely and the whole property was situated in lovely countryside. We would have enjoyed a more dedicated games perhaps with a pool table and well as the table tennis. For a large party this would have been an added attraction.

“The farmhouse was really lovely and well equipped.”

Plenty of space for everyone and the wood burning stoves were fantastic. It would be useful to have a poker and glove to use with the fires. We really enjoyed our stay.

“I have nothing but praise for Marles Farmhouse.”

An extremely nice holiday home, in a lovely area and with all the facilities and contents one could wish for. Very nice owners too. Our family had a lovely stay. I have more reservations about the Sykes experience. You do not make dealing with you easy. Firstly, when invited to email or call the Sykes person who is responsible for cleaning and organising Marles Farmhouse to order a cot and high chair, my email was ignored. I had to email twice before I got a reply. Secondly, your automated phone system is very clunky and requires the caller to listen to the entirety of several lists of options, and when one has finally been able to press the right number to choose an option you simply go into a holding queue with vile distorted music and no sense of how long the queueing will last. The person I finally spoke to about the item that had been left behind needed my authority as booker to speak to the person (my sister in law) who had called you about the item she had left at the cottage. I would have thought that a call from someone who had clearly stayed at the cottage, when the item had been found, would have been sufficient for your to be able to deal with my sister in law directly without wasting my time with your automated phone system!

Dear Ms Stoss, we are really glad you enjoyed your stay at Marles Farmhouse. We are sorry that the service provided by Sykes wasn’t a good experience for you. We are always happy to receive feedback and we will use your suggestion in order to improve our system. Owner relations

A wonderful retreat in Dorset is what Marles Farmhouse is 100% a beautiful refurbished farmhouse with high quality facilities a beautifully well kept garden lovely spacious bedrooms accommodate a luxury stay as with the fantastic kitchen with its very luxurious range for cooking and ample space for meal times for the family/friends to gather on the very large dining table, the front room is lovely to relax in to watch a little tv/film or listen to some late night music on the very comfortable sofas the quiet room as we found on the opposite side of the Farmhouse is perfect for reading a book or just taking some tea and gentle conversation the bathroom on suite facilities are just perfect and the games room in the barn is a nice place to play some table tennis if you fancy. The utility room is well equipped with a fantastic fridge washing machine and tumble dryer along with a sink their is ample parking for a large gathering of families etc and the Farmhouse is well stocked with information about the history and the progression from the owners who have turned this place into a little heaven in Dorset.

“Excellent secluded large farmhouse”

Set in a secluded part of the Dorset countryside but still close to the coast. Very well equipped kitchen with a large dinning table easily seating 12 people. Large fridge/freezer in utility room as well as a small fridge in the kitchen which was very useful for breakfast items and children's food. The comfortable lounge with log burner was great for the adults to meet whilst the children played in the television room. Comfortable bedrooms with their own bathrooms are always a bonus for large groups. Local produce including fresh fish from West Bay was excellent, would also recommend visiting the nearby Cider Farm which also had some interesting art sculptures by the owner of the farm. All in all a great place to base oneself with friends and family when visiting the area.

About the location

SALWAYASH

Bridport 4.5 miles.

The attractive market town of Bridport grew up around the River Brit, and was shaped by its extensive history of rope and net making. The long, wide streets and alleyways between the houses were once where the flax strands were twisted into rope, while today those streets are filled with an interesting variety of shops, restaurants and inns. Bridport’s market is regularly featured on the River Cottage TV programme. 2 miles south of Bridport is the dramatic Jurassic coast at West Bay, now a World Heritage Site, home to the backdrop for TV's Harbour Lights and the coastal setting for popular Broadchurch, whilst the picturesque resort of Lyme Regis is within 10 miles. A superb base for exploring wonderful West Dorset.
