Guests say

Guests consistently praise 'By The Way' for its immaculate cleanliness, spaciousness, and comfort. The secure garden and proximity to nature trails make it ideal for dog owners. Its location is convenient for exploring Dorset and accessing local amenities. The property is well-equipped, though some minor suggestions for improvement are noted. The thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs for guests and dogs, are highly appreciated.

Reviewers unanimously commend the property for its spotless condition, with specific mentions of clean carpets and well-maintained spaces.

The property is lauded for its excellent location, offering easy access to local amenities, nature reserves, and attractions in Dorset. One review gave an average rating due to a short stay, but this does not significantly impact the overall positive feedback.

The property is repeatedly described as comfortable and roomy, with a large sitting room and secure garden. Only one mention of the bathroom being slightly cold, which suggests room for improvement in winter comfort.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-supplied kitchen. However, suggestions for USB sockets and a change in flooring material in the dining area indicate some areas for enhancement.

While the reviews express gratitude for the welcome packs and dog treats, there is no consistent reference to gifts across all reviews to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such thoughtful gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

    This is a lovely bungalow, well positioned for access to both the New Forest, Wareham and beyond and the coast. It is very roomy, clean and comfortable. The carpets were spotless. The kitchen is well supplied and even had lidded casserole dishes which we rarely find. Nice welcome pack. If I had to find one problem it would be that the bathroom radiators (towel rails) were not big enough to warm the room, which is only a problem in winter when we were there. We would absolutely go there again if returning to Dorset
