  Enjoyed a wonderful holiday in the Stables, Burton Branstock and would love to return.

  The owner was very helpful advising us that we could check in to the cottage early and was able to give us advice on the local pubs and best walking routes to the adjacent beaches. The welcome pack of wine, flowers and biscuits were very much appreciated. The cottage was spacious and well equipped with top of the range appliances and the two bathrooms and extra toilet were handy with six guests. The location in the village was extremely convenient for the two local pubs and shops as they were only minutes away However, there were a few things that I think could improve the cottage. There was no artwork on the walls and things like books and games in the lounge leaving the ambience somewhat sterile. There were no door stops leading to the some of the walls being damaged. Clothes hooks on the back of the bathroom doors would have been handy as would waste paper bins in the bedrooms. But apart from these few things the Stables is definitely the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

  The counting house is in a perfect central West Bay location - it’s a short walk to any of the amenities. With that convenience comes a parking challenge although the space outside the garage door provides effective space for one car. The house is very large downstairs and all the bedrooms are decent size. Beds were ok but lacked support making sleep that little bit harder on warm nights. It can be a little noisy at night as traffic passes by and seagulls make their noises. The kitchen is well equipped, double oven plus grill and hob and separate microwave. Decent dining space inside. Lounge is also a decent size. Outside, we liked the garden dry/beach style. There is a large dining table with chairs but no parasol which was unhelpful as the garden is a sun trap and is regularly dropped-on by the legions of seagulls who hang out on most roofs. We would also have appreciated a barbecue to help with alfresco living when the sun shone.

  Ive had a beautiful break with my family thanks to Sykes’s cottages for finding me the perfect break!

  The lady who helped me find the cottage was very nice and helpful and found me exactly what i was looking for! Im usually very fussy picking the right cottage or location and with the help of Sykes cottage i found this amazing Gem of a cottage right at the last minute a day before i went to my destination i booked this cottage and even though it was very last minute i managed to get something i really liked! The cottage was absolutely immaculately presented, a new build so no faults to find, based on the perfect location just about 10 minutes walk to the beach which was absolutely stunning! it was like being in a foreign country- truly beautiful! the Owner Peter and Pauline were also very friendly and helpful. This is the 3rd time i booked with sykes cottages and it certainly wouldn’t be the last! definitely would recommend :)

  This property could be fantastic in terms of what it potentially has to offer. Unfortunately we arrived for our stay to find it has been badly maintained for some time. We had no proper hot water until Wednesday late afternoon at the property, having arrived there the previous Friday. This meant we had hot water for just 36 hours of our holiday before leaving on Friday morning. We also had to deal with a boiler that had an air lock, so made alarming banging noises periodically; in the end this was turned off on Tuesday by a plumber as the safest option. The property is very dusty and dirty and needs a deep clean throughout. The garden is untended and full of weeds; it is not a pleasant space to sit outside. Do not waste your annual leave booking this property.

  We had a lovely time in Honeypot cottage.

  It exceeded expectations. It was perfectly well equipped and clean and well presented upon arrival. A small clothes line/ drying rack would be useful for beach towels etc. We loved a morning walk in the village, spent time at beautiful hive beach and ate in the restaurant and would recommend. Abbotsbury was a fabulous day trip as was lulworth cove. We ate in the 3 horseshoe pub in burton bradstock and it was excellent and we were recommended the rise restaurant in west bay which didn’t disappoint. The weather was fab and an evening spent on the patio at the cottage or in the new inn pub ended a perfect day. Sorry we hadn’t booked for more than 7 days. We will be back to this coastal area.
