Guests say
West View offers a peaceful and well-equipped base for exploring Dorset, with a spacious, secure garden ideal for dogs and a popular games room for relaxation. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, cosy lounge, and quiet location close to local attractions. While some areas would benefit from refurbishment and more thorough cleaning, the property provides good value for money and is well-suited for families and pet owners seeking a tranquil getaway.
Several guests noted issues such as mould, cobwebs, stained carpets, and the need for a deeper clean, though some found the property tidy and bedding clean. Cleaning standards appear inconsistent, with multiple reviews mentioning areas for improvement.
The property is praised for its quiet, secluded setting and convenient access to local attractions, including Bournemouth and the Isle of Purbeck. Some guests noted the overgrown garden and proximity to a burnt-out barn, but overall the location is considered a strong point.
Guests frequently mention comfortable beds, a cosy lounge, and a well-equipped kitchen. However, some found the property dark due to overgrown bushes and noted issues with mould and stains, which affected comfort for a few visitors.
The games room, enclosed garden, and kitchen facilities are appreciated, especially for families and dog owners. Some maintenance issues were reported, such as missing items, broken equipment, and the need for refurbishment, but the property is generally well-equipped.
While some guests mentioned helpful owners and caretakers, there were repeated comments about the absence of a welcome pack and lack of small touches. If gifts or welcome packs are provided, they are not guaranteed.

NOT SUITABLE FOR ANYBODY WITH MOBILITY PROBLEMS, as steps to front and back with NO railings, only small ones at the back steps and they are hardly sitable as along the wall with items at the bottom of the steps. Carpets certainly need changing or a very deep clean as looks like dogs have been there staining them,Front of the bungalow is very dark even on bright days as trees high and very close. I could only get into the bungalow through the french doors into the games room but then 3 very large tiled steps into the bungalow. But we still had a nice time getting out each day. Certainly needs more mugs than just 3.

Relaxing stay. Good facilities and well equipped; especially the kitchen - old large fridge/freezer but adequately functional. New microwave, excellent dishwasher and washing machine. Comfy lounge and TV with view into front garden - overgrown but great bird watching - green finches, thrush, and many others. King bedroom with lots of storage and TV. Walls, ceiling and skirting boards need a good clean and lick of paint and tiled or laminate throughout lounge and hallway to bedrooms. . Twin bedroom with TV. Games room with Comfy chairs and games, two bathrooms- very clean. Shower in main bathroom wasn't great - the shower head a small jet of water. Shower room by back door with better shower head; used middle setting. Left door open afterwards and back door window open as appeared extracture fan not working. Large back garden with view of burnt out metal barn and trees. Not secure for our toy poodle and pomeranian as get through farm fence and side of house. Small gas BBQ, appeared in working order. Washing line and table and chairs. Very quiet location and great to get to lots of attractions and seaside. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. No welcome pack. We'll worth the money.

This could be a nice property but it needs a good clean. I had to clean the fridge & the breadbin before putting my food in them. The oven was dirty. There were silverfish in the bath & around the bathroom. There were cobwebs & spiders in the shower and in almost every corner. There were stains on the carpets & curtains. The sink in the games room was dirty. I had to clean all the green mould off of the washing line before I could use it (I would have used the clothes horse instead but that was broken). The overgrown front garden was actually a bonus as it blocked the view of the lorries. Wouldn't stay here again.
