What our customers say about their holidays

  Impressed? Most definitely.

  Words escape me. From the moment we viewed the Donkey Shed we ( a family of six ), knew we had to book it. The property is exactly as shown in the photos and is a real credit to the owners Max and Jackie. Perfectly located for exploring the coast, tourist attractions and much more. Have never seen such a spotlessly clean and well presented property. So well equipped, seclude, quiet and very relaxing, it is out of this world. As grandparents we travelled down with our family of four and were absolutely gobsmacked with the property on arrival. Our family have never stayed in a quality holiday let like this and they loved it. Due to some medical issues my wife and I had to return home mid week but left the family behind to enjoy the sunny weather and do lots of exploring. They enjoyed every day. Sadly we did not get to meet Max and Jackie but our family did and have said what a lovely couple they are. Although we did not meet face to face, the communication with Max and Jackie was the best we have ever had. Even since we arrived home they have contacted us with concern about my wife’s health, 10 out of 10 for that and many thanks. Overall a perfect holiday accommodation and worth every penny. Thankyou Max and Jackie.

  We were two couples and a dog staying for a week at the beginning of June 2024.

  The Old Post Office was immaculate; a wonderful place to stay for the week and the property has been exceedingly well thought out for the convenience of a short stay. Loads of thoughtful touches around the house which were really impressive. Also, it’s obvious that the owners are dog owners and loads of small dog friendly touches as well. We had a minor niggle early in the stay, but I must say that the owners, Kerry and Emma, were responsive, attentive and resolved the issue promptly. It’s clear to us that Kerry and Emma are rightly proud of their property and the experience they provide, and serious about making sure their guests have a wonderful time. We did have a wonderful time and can highly recommend. Thank you Kerry, Emma and Sykes Cottages. In the words of the renowned poet Arnie….. I’ll be back!

  8 of us - 4 couples - (good friends) - from different parts of the country - met at The Old Post Office, and spent 4 happy days there, and all the previous reviews, without exception, have said it all.

  IT IS FABULOUS; we all loved it. The interior design, the furniture, the furnishings, the kitchen, the equipment (loads of it!) the beds, the showers……everything is of good quality, and of a high standard. Emma and Kerry have thought of everything. Wonderful attention to detail, and lovely touches, that make it a very comfortable house and a joy to stay in. We had wet and cold weather, but the house is warm and cosy and a pleasure to come back home to. Thank you E and K, we all had an absolutely brilliant time and a lot of fun. We will all be recommending you to everyone we know. Elaine and Kevin and the gang. Sykes Company stated there were no hairdryers….not true…E&K had placed one in every bedroom

  We had a lovely week at the Old Post Office which is well located for exploring Sherborne and the surrounding countryside and not too far from the south coast.

  It’s a very quiet location, but easy to get to. Several good pubs close by for eating out. The house has been beautifully renovated and looks very smart - a really nice amalgamation of old feel and modern facilities. The welcome hamper was a really nice touch and full of delicious foods. All the numerous thoughtful touches - from excellent kitchen equipment, to hot-tub towels, and the dog accessories - they make for a really comfortable stay. We really enjoyed our stay, the fantastic weather, and the friendly local people. Would highly recommend

  We were absolutely delighted when we arrived at the Old Post Office.

  It is a beautiful cottage both inside and out. The attention to detail from the owners was excellent, even down to a welcome pack for not only us, but the dog as well, and flowers and Halloween decorations. We had everything we needed and more for a very comfortable stay. Loved the outdoor space and hot tub and the provision of lots of towels. The kitchen is beautiful and provided us with a space for family cooking and eating. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Ieuan and Pam
