What our customers say about their holidays

  We were looking forward to a break over the new year and a couple of friends had stayed at this cottage previously and had described it as cosy.

  All in all the cottage was cosy however, we left early as the bedding was so inadequate. The quality of the towels were lovely and they were beautifully white - a pleasure to use. The duvet was without doubt the cheapest most horrible item I have seen in a long time. We used the ensuite room and my sister used the other double. she also said it was thin and inadequate and had to get the duvets off the twin room as she was so cold. I could not face another night under such bedding and left a day before we were meant to. The bedding should surely be the same quality of the towels? When I stripped the bed the duvet reminded me of something from a student flat or bedsit and not the quality you would expect at the price we paid. The kitchen is fine but cluttered - why two stick blenders? It would be so much better if refreshed and thinned down. I sound like a whinge but the quality of bedding is so important and when I think about our stay the good points are heavily overshadowed by the discomfort and lack of warmth. Both sets of friends stayed in the summer and this was not an issue to them. We have friends in Loders and went to look at another rental in the village and I have to say the quality was far, far superior. I am sorry for what must read like very negative but it did disappoint. I suspect you will not be publishing my feedback.

  Wonderful cosy, very comfortable stunning cottage.

  Located in a beautiful quiet rural village but also very close to amenities and an in excellent location for exploring Dorset by car. The cottage had a very well equipped kitchen and plenty of space for 5/6 people. Lots of useful information in the cottage too which was fantastic. We would add The New Inn in Shipton Gorge on the list of good places to go to eat. We had an excellent meal there. There were so many public footpaths to explore in the area when walking from the cottage and lots of beautiful properties and scenery to see. Fantastic place if you enjoy walking in the countryside. We had a fantastic time and would definitely come again. Our only very small quibble would be that there was no soap in two out of three of the bathrooms when we arrived and not much loo roll and there were a couple of small maintenance issues which we tried reporting to the cleaning company (as requested by cottage owners in the file) but the cleaning company didn't bother to get back to us. I sent two messages to the number provided and neither were answered. If they were major issues we would have been able to contact Dreams Cottages directly. We left a note when we left. We really did love our time in Pippins Cottage overall and we would definitely recommend it! Many thanks.

  A beautiful cottage which is very well equipped.

  The beds were so comfortable and the pillows even more so. I had a sneaky peek at the make as I really need one! The bedding and towels were a very high quality and smelt amazing. Lovely traditional lounge - it smelt a bit musty but I assume the cottage is old. We had plenty of room for the 4 of us and our 2 dogs. The garden was safe and secure with a large table to relax. The views from the bedroom window were incredible and waking up to the sound of cows was lovely. The information we were given by the owner was great, really detailed instructions for walks and where to eat. The village has 2 pubs, Loder's Arms - the closest - was lovely. Very friendly with a lovely big garden and amazing food, tapas was gorgeous. The Crown Inn, about a 10 minute walk, was smaller, definitely book, pie night on a Wednesday was amazing!!! Lamb and mint pie was delicious, again very friendly. Both pubs are dog friendly. We had a fabulous week in Pippin's. Definitely recommend it and Skye cottages, communication was excellent. Thank you.

  We would be grateful if the following feedback could be given to the owners: 1.

  The lighting in the kitchen and lounge is poor. The lighting in the kitchen is so poor that its not possible to see to properly wash up at the sink when it is dark; 2.The bed linen and towels are all very heavily perfumed, we imagine as a result of the powder/ fabric softener used; because this was our 2nd visit and we were aware of this we brought our own bed linen and towels; 3. It would be nice if the cleaning products available could be expanded; eg there was no hob cleaner and it was v.difficul to keep the hob clean. There were also things that we really appreciated, including: - the view from the bedroom above the kitchen - what a joy to wake up to each morning - the position in the village - our favourite part of Loders/Uploders - the inglenook fireplace, although we didn't light it this time - the garden, in bloom with daffs and other blossom while we were there.

  We loved the location, comfort, layout and amenities provided within the cottage.

  It was delightful and met our needs, thank you. It also felt well within the needs of Covid precautions. We felt it was slightly let down (but not to the detriment of our experience, for the purpose of feedback only) by the lawn not being cut and by the lack of cleanliness of some of the less important fixtures and fittings. For example, light shade in the kitchen and window edges very spotted by fly droppings. Hairs from other people’s dogs on cushions (we have dogs and so understand the difficulty, but always hoover up after ourselves). All minor points but possibly worth your consideration for future visitors. One equally small point, we felt it would have been more generous to leave one additional rubbish bag. Overall, a lovely holiday, great experience and we would happily go back to Pippins at Loaders, so we thank you for the opportunity. Kind regards Sue Crinson
