Dorset Cottage Reviews

Matt
Beautifully well kept farmhouse with ample room, comfy bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen with some lovely welcome touches. Huge round dining table which is great for eating but a tad too big for board games. Hot tub has a gorgeous view and we highly recommend a sunset dip to take in the views. All in all a wonderful location for a fantastic time awaRead morey. Hide
Julie
Great location and lovely house. Good quality all through the property and really nice to have more glasses, crockery and cutlery than the standard 8 settings you get elsewhere. Definitely to be recommended. The Spyway Inn is worth a visit, lovely people and food was great.
Anne
Beautiful cottage and really well equipped Will definitely return. But be warnedthe lane to the farmhouse seems susceptible to flooding, so if the weather is bad, be careful what car you bring.
Diane
Bilshay Farmhouse is perfect for a family get together with varying age groups. It was spacious and easily accommodated 3 families. - 6 adults and 3 children. Even though weather was mixed the children enjoyed the hot tub, games room and trampoline. Location was nice and quiet and gave easy access to Bridport and surrounding areas of interest. The Read morefew issues we had were quickly resolved by Trevor and Sam at Symondsbury Estate.. Thank you Hide
Charlea
Loved everything about the cottage. Bedrooms were huge and the whole house was so cosy even though it's a large property! Beautiful views and outdoor space. We honestly didn't want to leave, the loveliest place to celebrate my dads surprise 60th birthday weekend!
Jean
Fantastic cottage! Everything perfect!
Lorrie
Great stay ! Lovely farm house . Very homely and warm
Steven
The cottage was spacious, well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. It is in a stunning location, remote enough to enjoy the countryside views but still possible to walk to Symondsbury in about 30 minutes and / or a 5 minute drive into Bridport. It was a pleasant surprise the see brand new washing machine, tumble dryer and table tennis table. The be ds deserve a special mention as they were excellent, very large and very comfortable. Overall an excellent cottage for a large family holiday.
ANGELA
A beautiful farmhouse, well equipped and every need catered for. Stunning location with beautiful views. Ample space for our 3 families to spend time together comfortably. Would highlly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful setting with country walks and pretty places close by to visit.
Stephen
Great accommodation and location. Some of the equipment in need of repair or replacement. Eg outdated washing machine, broken cutlery holder in dishwasher, wobbly tennis table Overall really enjoyable holiday,
Sally
Absolutely beautiful house and stunning garden with views over the countryside. We were a party of 9 and there was plenty of equipment for everyone. Not far to nice towns and beaches.
Susannah
Lovely comfortable farmhouse with the most amazing views. Close to Bridport and the coast. It was unfortunate the hot tub was dirty and it took a few days to resolve the issue
Julie
Beautiful Farmhouse in an excellent location with idyllic views.
Joan
Beautiful, peaceful cottage. 20 minute walk through field to a glorious cafe. Hope to come back.
Katharine
This cottage is absolutely beautiful, in totally gorgeous surroundings. The house is furnished beautifully and was very warm on a cold January weekend. The hot tub was warm and ready to jump in... But quite hard to work out how to turn it up, and unfortunately there was a problem with the water pressure which meant sometimes we couldn't shower, flu sh the toilet or wash hands. This is apparently due to the cottage being in a rural area and being fed by a spring which affects the water pressure.
Jane
Spent a week over Christmas 2021 with nine family members . Beautiful Farmhouse with stunning views overlooking the countryside. Hot tub was fabulous. Comfortable beds and great amenities. Ilchester Arms pub just over one mile away serving good food
Tricia
Lovely big property in a beautiful peaceful location. Walks on the doorstep but need a car to explore the area properly and also if you want to eat out. The hot tub was lovely to return to after long walks.
Caroline
Lovely location comfortable farmhouse, dogs especially loved the garden.

Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU
about 15 Miles
This family orientated museum is dedicated to Teddy Bears both old and new Edward Bear and his family of people sized bears are one of the main attractions.  You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands.  The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular.  Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY
about 16 Miles
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park is a magical place to visit with grand gardens and plenty of animals to meet.  From goats and ponies to alpacas and pot bellied pigs this attraction is excellent value for money.  You can feel free to explore the grounds too which are especially lovely on sunny days.  You will see majestic floral displays, stone terraces, a temple and even a lake.
Bicton Park and Gardens - EX9 7BJ
about 23 Miles
This year round attraction has been described as Devon's most magnificent historic gardens.  Located in the Otter Valley area of East Devon you can enjoy a fun day out in a picturesque setting. Highlights include historic Palm house, containing some of the world’s most endangered species and Bicton Woodland Railway - which takes you on a 25 minute journey through the lovely grounds.  For children there is a miniature village with mini golf, nature trail and indoor play area.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 25 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
Crealy Great Adventure Park - EX5 1DR
about 27 Miles
This popular adventure park is full of thrills and excitement as well as having loads for younger children to take part in as well. The best theme park rides include the Tidal Wave log flume and Maximus the rollercoaster.  Other fantastic rides include the the New Vortex Watercoaster ride and the Queen Bess pirate ship.  Indoor fun is plentiful too with the Adventure Zone, the Magical Kingdom and Dina's Lost World.
