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 warm welcome from the owners. The property is especially well-suited for dog owners, with direct access to walking trails. Minor suggestions include a larger bed and some updates to flooring in dog-access areas, but overall, guests thoroughly enjoyed their stays and would happily return.
Guests repeatedly describe the property as spotless, immaculately clean, and well cared for, with particular mention of clean carpets and bathrooms. Only one minor mention of bathroom radiators not warming the room in winter, but this does not detract from the overall high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its quiet setting, proximity to local shops, pubs, and walking trails, and easy access to Poole, Bournemouth, and Dorset attractions. The only minor deduction is from one guest who did not explore the area fully due to a short stay.
The bungalow is described as very comfortable, warm, and spacious, with a relaxing atmosphere. The only minor negative is a comment about the double bed being a bit small for two adults.
Facilities are well regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen, secure garden, and good parking. Suggestions for improvement include adding a USB socket and considering alternative 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, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We have just had our second visit to this wonderful bungalow set in a quiet road with off street parking. The garden is beautiful and perfectly safe for our dog; the bungalow is a great base for exploring; it is clean, well thought out, and perfect for two or three people. The owners left a thoughtful welcome note and treats, which both the dog and humans enjoyed. We have already booked again for 2027!
