Dorset Thatch Reviews

Tanya

Beautiful cottage in a quiet location with only the occasional tractor or horse going by. Direct walks out through wonderful countryside. Jacuzzi was amazing and a treat despite the cold snap.

The cottage is exceptional. It is well equipped and in good condition. There is ample room for 6 adults. The sitting room is very comfy and has a wood burning stove, for which there was a full log basket when we arrived. There was a welcome hamper in the kitchen. The Symondsbury Estate cafe and shops are a few minutes drive away. There is plenty ofRead more parking space and an external games room. We spent an extremely wet New Year there and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Hide

Rachael

Fabulous cottage in a beautiful location. So many walks available from the cottage. The hot tub was fabulous especially on the clear nights when we sat star watching. The fire is a beast, certainly a thing of beauty when ablaze. The welcoming bread and coffee was a lovely touch. We had everything we wanted for a peaceful break .

Elizabeth

A beautiful house, exceptionally well equipped. The bedrooms are all suitable for adults and the kitchen is a great space to all get together for mealtimes. The hot tub is lovely - even if the hot weather meant it was almost too hot for us to use! Easy to access visitor attractions across Dorset and we thoroughly recommend the cafe and shops on theRead more Symondsbury Estate. Can't recommend this holiday house enough. Hide

Lovely cottage with a beautiful garden in a wonderful location. Our family had an amazing holiday.

Paul

Cottage was amazing, facilities were amazing. Loved the hot tub and really appreciated the groceries when we arrived.

Sarah

We had a lovely weeks stay at Dorset Thatch. The cottage & garden are both beautiful and the location was great, so quiet and rural but with easy access to bridport and beaches. Coffee outside in the morning listening to the birds was idyllic with plenty of space for our 2.5 year old to play. We did leave some feedback directly with the owners rela ting to housekeeping improvements but overall a lovely stay and we would definitely go back.

Julia

An utterly lovely and private detached cottage with everything we needed for a relaxing break. Beautiful walks and a peaceful location. The garden was also great for the dog - she was quite disappointed when we got home!

Dee

The cottage is in a super location with pretty gardens, peaceful and relaxing yet only a short drive to the nearest town and the coast. We (6 adults) found the cottage itself to be immaculate, spacious and comfy and spent our first 15 minutes checking the delightful rooms and sayingWow! The extra facilities such as the hot tub are a real bonus. All the Symondsbury staff are courteous and helpful. Wed thoroughly recommend a stay in this lovely cottage.
