4 Riverside Cottages

Its location near the beach and village centre. Small fenced rear garden was great for the dog

We had great weather so a parasol for the garden table would have been good

Great little cottage, perfect for a little fossiling trip with my two kids. Separate bedrooms for everyone. Great living room. Decent kitchen, dining room, bathroom. Lovely welcome pack of Dorset goodies. Handy location for a quick walk to The George pub (sadly closing from Nov 2025 to Mar 2026 due to lack of winter trade). Main road location wasn't as noisy as it could've been. Loads of games which the kids enjoyed. Good big telly, easy to use. Comfy beds.

Didn't find any instructions for heating, and couldn't get the thermostat to make the boiler kick in and warm up the place when we needed to. The heating was pre-set, often for times we weren't in the house. Sadly the cleaning wasn't great in the kitchen. The plastic chopping boards were sticky and mouldy, and the cheese grater had not been cleaned properly before returning to the cupboard. Weirdly there was a little 'cleaning pack' on arrival, which seemed a good idea, but the little tube of washing up liquid ran out during our stay. Also, why does it contain dishwasher tabs when there is no dishwasher? Washing machine capsules would've been more welcome. I guess it's a general S y kes Cottages thing. Btw, I scrubbed the chopping boards and grater as best I could, but had run out of washing up liquid by that point. We met a stand-in cleaner on departure who was lovely, and I am sure she would've done a more thorough job.

N/A ..welcome bag was appreciated! And the milk!

A couple more loo rolls would have been comforting!

Good location. Plenty of parking.

Dog hair everywhere, especially in the Living Room, which we had to vacuum ourselves on arrival.
