Guests say
By The Way is a beautifully maintained and spacious bungalow, praised for its immaculate cleanliness, secure and dog-friendly garden, and peaceful location within easy reach of local amenities and Dorset attractions. Guests consistently highlight the comfort, thoughtful touches, and excellent access to walking trails. The owners are commended for their attention to detail and responsiveness. Minor suggestions include a larger bed and improved bathroom heating in winter, but overall, guests thoroughly enjoyed their stays and would happily return.
Guests repeatedly describe the property as immaculately clean, spotless, and well cared for, with particular mention of clean carpets and bathrooms. Only one minor mention of bathroom heating in winter, but no negative comments about cleanliness itself.
The location is highly praised for its quiet setting, proximity to shops, pubs, and walking trails, and easy access to Dorset's attractions. A single review gave an average score due to limited time to explore, but all others were very positive.
The bungalow is described as comfortable, warm, and relaxing, with spacious rooms and a homely feel. One guest noted the double bed was a bit small for two adults, and another mentioned bathroom heating in winter, but overall comfort is rated very highly.
Facilities are well regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen, secure garden, and good parking. Suggestions for improvement include adding a USB socket and changing carpet to hard flooring in the dining area for dog owners, but these are minor compared to the overall positive feedback.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, treats for dogs, and detailed information folders. While these gestures are much appreciated, please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely Bungalow, in a very smart and clean road. , with safe off-road parking . The garden is the reason that I have given 5 stars - relaxing - and secluded. At the far end is a locked gate , and this opens into a path leading to the local shops , cafes , and pubs ( including a Wetherspoons ) the main shower is also really good and clean. Less than half an hour to Poole , and Bournemouth etc

Fantastic bungalow, we loved our stay. Lots of lovely and thoughtful little touches and perfect location. The secure garden was amazing especially as we brought our dog too. Only thing we would have liked was a bigger bed as the double bed was rather small for husband and me.

Lovely warm, comfortable bungalow with lots of thoughtful touches. Although on a largish housing estate it was very quiet, with negligible passing traffic. You can walk to the shops and a pub. If you have a dog the gated access to the trailway is a HUGE asset. We would be happy to return someday. One minor issue we had was dealt with promptly by the owner. All good!
