Guests say
Mulberry House in Broadstone, Dorset, is a well-presented and spacious property, appreciated for its attractive garden, games room, and hot tub. Guests have enjoyed the ample space, the high standard of decoration, and the property's suitability for large groups and family gatherings. While some minor maintenance issues and a neighbour's barking dog were noted, these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experiences.
The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with several reviews noting it as spotless and well-maintained. However, a few guests mentioned specific issues such as dirty floors and a BBQ needing cleaning, slightly affecting the score.
The location is described as peaceful and not too far from local attractions. The garden's steep hill was a concern for some, and there were comments about the presence of trees attracting insects, but overall the location was well-received.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests enjoying the spaciousness and cosiness of the property. However, concerns were raised about the lack of a downstairs shower for those with mobility issues and the heat in one of the bedrooms, which affected the comfort level for some guests.
Facilities like the games room and hot tub were highlights, but several maintenance issues were reported, such as problems with a hoover, shower door, and BBQ cleanliness. The hot tub maintenance and cleanliness were particularly noted, impacting the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
Settled in a peaceful road, in the leafy suburb of Broadstone in Dorset, rests this spectacular, five-bedroom home, Mulberry House. Enjoying one acres of land, backed by tall trees, this detached holiday home is ideal for a family of ten. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by off-road parking for five cars on the spacious driveway and enter through the oak front door. Be charmed by the impressive hallway, with a feature rug and sleek décor. Stepping through the home, locate the kitchen with an oven and hob to rustle up mouth-watering dishes, as well as a TV to keep the chef entertained. Locate the open plan living/dining room, home to a rotating woodburning stove, where you can curl up on the corner sofas with a good book or admire the luscious garden with a cup of tea. When meals are piping hot, gather at the elegant, glass dining table, and why not uncork a bottle of fizz to celebrate the occasion? Throw open the patio doors to discover the large garden, here you can enjoy refreshments at the outdoor bar and have a game of snooker in the heated games room or relax in the outdoor hot tub. After an action-packed day, make use of the utility room to wash and dry your clothes and you can freshen up in the cloakroom. The ground-floor also hosts a double bedroom, ideal for elderly relatives or those with limited mobility. As the evening draws to a close, retreat upstairs to find four super-king-size bedrooms, three of them with en-suites and one with a Juliet balcony to soak in the peaceful setting. In the morning, awaken with a refreshing rinse in an en-suite shower or melt your worries away in the tub in the family bathroom. Lace up your walking boots and delve into the deep woods of Delph Woods or ramble the Plainfield Farm Recreation Ground to see a wealth of wildlife. Test your swing at Broadstone Golf Course or if that's not for you head into the coastal town of Poole, where you can sample delicious eateries on the seafront. Be sure to visit the bustling town of Bournemouth, where you can stroll along a Victorian pier with fresh fish and chips, view live shows at Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre, or see marine life at Oceanarium.

Well equipped for our large family. Plenty of room and very comfortable. Maybe have the facility for the twin room to become one bed rather than two separate beds.

Some areas need some attention, particularly around the cleanliness as the floors were very dirty and numerous cobwebs around the property in obvious places. The severe slope of the garden is quite dangerous for children and feel like it would benefit from a fence to make it more safe and secure. Couple of basic kitchen items missing such as tongs and no bbq utensils at all. Bins were full when we arrived and only the normal bin was emptied which meant we had multiple large bin bags of recycling just left by the bins all week.

Well presented and maintained. Some of the bulbs/LED's in the house need replacing and Bar BQ had not been cleaned as requested in the instructions by previous visitors but that was easily fixed. Games room and garden furniture were excellent.
