Ballantrae

The location. The shower, very powerful 💪

It was a bit tired looking and could do with a bit of tlc. Garden overgrown around front door, defective door trim, damaged carpet. Although not advertised as available, I asked if there was the use of an iron and ironing board. I was flying to the area due a wedding and had a shirt that would need ironed again after travel. Initially I was told no, and when I asked what other guests had done was told no one had ever asked for an iron before. I was then informed by the owner that there was no iron for fear of damage to fixtures and fittings. I could understand this if the place was decorated to a 10/10 standard but imo it's not. In an attempt to come to a compromise the owner then offered me the use of an iron and iron board at a pre-arranged time and only if under supervision. I declined!

Shaun was very polite and helpful. The place was in an excellent area to explore the south coast.

Nothing.

I am very happy with our stay at Ballantrae. It was very cozy and homely. I also want to thank you for the coffee, tea and delicious cookies, it was nice. It was clean and comfortable. The host did everything to make the guests feel at home.

Non

There's a lot of space provided for the guests. There's a bedroom and a living room available. The street the house is situated on is very quiet. It's within a walking distance from the train station, Jurassic Coaster route and a pub and some shops. The bathroom was very clean.

The location was very quiet and easy to get around.

Nothing to dislike

Very spacious and comfy. Located near the train station.

Good location with a nice pub serving good food just a few minutes walk away. Very comfortable.

nothing. It was all fine.

Very handy for my stay and to get around Dorset and local area which I do know well

Left a list of improvements for Shaun to think about whether he takes these on board ?

No breakfast was provided.Was in a convenient location as we were visiting friends in the area.

Accommodation was clean and comfortable,outside garden good do with some attention to give it more kerb appeal.

Quite a large lounge area, bedroom a little small, but lovely and clean.

Would have liked net curtains to afford more privacy in bedroom during daylight hours. Shame breakfast not available. Some noise from owners who also lived in the property, but only normal daily living sounds

The location was very convenient and it was very clean. It was literally the front room of a house converted. It was more like a Bed & Bathroom rather than a Bed & Breakfast. However, the price was fair and reflected this. It was perfect for my needs for one night.

I could hear the next door room quite easily. Just a locked door separating the rooms. Thankfully the people next door quietened down and it wasn’t a problem.

The location was great for us, the property was clean and tidy.

Great location and lots of space to feel comfortable in.

Close to tank museum. Very comfortable bed

Nothing

Comfortable and clean. Helpful, accommodating and friendly host

I was not really expecting two rooms but the sitting room with TV and wifi was very welcome. The fresh flowers in both windows was a homely touch. The bed was extremely comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. The shower was easy to operate and the water became warm quickly. The front door light turned on as my car arrived in the dark and the drinks provided were welcome. Although no breakfast was provided by the facility, the host had provided a mini fridge so that I could keep milk etc for my own breakfast - very thoughtful and appreciated. Although I didn't actually walk in the area, the local shops were in easy walking distance so the location was goo. It was situated on the Wareham to Dorchester Road with easy access to tourist spots.

I'm not used to a TV with two remote controls and I sometimes struggled to get a signal and change channels.

Friendly host. Comfortable stay. Good location: Nice pub, train station & bus stops, shops & takeaway all less than a 10minute walk away.

Not much to dislike. I wasn't too fussed that the tissue box was empty. I'm sure if I had asked for some tissues, the host would have supplied them.

Location is soo bad there no shops near by and takeaway is not allowed and staff was so rude facilities is good

The location of this homestay is so convenient. Me and my husband enjoyed this sweet little room all thanks to our great host Shaun and his hospitality. The living room had a hot kettle, tea coffee neatly presented on the table. The bedroom was very clean and warm. The bath had an array of clean linen. soap, shampoo and lotion so you don't have to worry about carrying bottles of these around( although we did, coz we didn't know :p). Shaun was very gracious and welcoming, he often asked if we wanted anything to be restocked. There is an informative brochure in the house that tells you about nearby attractions and food places. For any meals and groceries there is a deli, mini tesco, restaurants just round the corner. If you don't feel like a walk or bad weather, can still order through just eats online app. Also it's a 5 minute walk to the station and bus stand which runs between durdle door and lulworth cove every hour. The bus drivers are very kind as well. It's a small town but lovely people and has a warm country side vibe everywhere. Our holiday paid off extremely well. Thank you.

Close to all the important areas. I came from a wedding so it was handy that it was very close to the nearby castle. I enjoyed the ensuite bathroom, and the room/space in general and the fact it came with parking. Even came with some treats, like bottled water and coffee etc etc. Very convenient

The parking was a bit hard to get into, but that is not something that anyone could fix. Just park on the road if you arent confident in your reversing.

Location superb for visiting Dorset very easy to access beautiful beaches and countryside as well as museums and historical sites

Maybe a mini fridge if staying more than 2nights ,windy night made security lights come on which was a little disconcerting until I realised what the light was .

This property is clean and well appointed. The shower is fantastic, and the bed very comfortable. The TV is modern with all the current streaming services able to be used, wifi fast. The owner is very knowledgeable on the area, and very easy to communicate with. I used this property to visit the Tank Museum and it worked well. The Ship Inn was a good pub, and the Hidden Deli had excellent food only a short walk away - overall a great stay

There are no street numbers so you just have to aim for the corner of Baileys Drove and sydneham crescent and use the booking pin - so patience with cab - but easy enough

Everything

Only when the lock played up which Shaun sorted it out very quickly.

The guest house a a double room with en-suit as well as separate living area which is great. Everything was great!

Everything was perfect but fridge and microwave were not available which should be there I think being basic necessity.

Rustig gelegen, nette accommodatie met fijne thee-koffievoorziening en koelkast, prettig contact met eigenaar, goede informatie vooraf en tijdens het verblijf.

Dat alles goed schoon is

Geen bestek

位置很好，离坦克博物馆很近，走20分钟就能到，最主要的环境很宁静，非常适合放松心情，房东也很热情，仿佛到自己家一样，各种设施也很齐全，办理入住非常简单方便，下次有机会来还会住这

如果能有一次性拖鞋就更好了
