About 26 The Green
Truly English thatched holiday cottage in the depths of Dorset yet within a ten minute walk of the wonderful sandy beach of Studland Bay. This lovely Dorset self catering accommodation has lots of charm with pretty window seats, beams, low ceilings and large fireplace giving the cottage a cosy, charming feel. The blue and white colour scheme is used throughout the cottage and outside the front garden leads down to the village green with a private patio and garden from the back door. An ideal holiday destination with a ten minute ferry ride to glitzy Poole Harbour and Poole water sports yet retaining all the olde worlde charm of a traditional English village.
Service rating : No problems - would be happy to recommend them
Product : Brilliant location and charming cottage - but lack of wi-fi is a significant drawback.
Service rating : Booking went without a hitch but on the T&C's the following commentary unnerved me ...'No reminders will be sent out beyond the booking confirmation which advises you of the balance due date. If we do not receive payment by this date then we will treat it as a cancellation and charges will apply as per the table provided'. For someone like myself who needs the odd reminder in a busy world about deadlines, this felt too onerous. I don't forget on purpose, and what effort is involved in sending a reminder a week before the balance due deadline? Otherwise the instructions and directions were clear. The cottage largely fitted the brochure description albeit was a little tired. The brochure also said that twin beds were pushed together but they were actually separated by a couple of items of furniture which meant shifting beds and furniture in what was a very small bedroom
Product : If there'd been an average option rather than 'good' or 'poor' I'd probably have plumped for this. There were some extremely good characteristics like the location, but some poor ones as well like the poor condition of the 2 sofa's which were well past there best and not hugely comfortable after a long days walking. The heating and some of the other elements were also somewhat tired. The cottage was certainly characterful but this also brought with it space issues with a tiny main bedroom which necessitated the second bedroom being used to get ready. Fine for 2 people, but in our mind too small for the any more.
