“Lovely house and setting BUT”
House had comfy beds, lots of room, big garden. Near to local pub, and easy to get to weymouth etc. We did find the garden overgrown, which after a couple of days the owner got a gardener in for us. it needs alot of tlc, chairs and bbq in the shed had to wash the chairs and bbq was disgusting. Everything in shed and garage hasnt been cleared for years. The house was spacious, eco toilets left alot to be desired, having to flush several time to clear , and one kept overfilling. The owner was informed of this, he said he would do his best, but the plumber didnt get back to me, owner told me lives 100 miles away, he needs to go and look at what needs to be done. Could have been cleaner, cobwebs, bathroom floors, etc. Cleaners turned up as we were leaving, 2 men, think a woman would be better.

Response from the owner We were let down by our gardener and we now have a new person looking after the garden who does a better job. The bbq has now been replaced with a new one. I think the outside chairs may have been used by the birds if they had been left outside the shed. Certainly a problem had developed with the upstairs toilet cistern which was replaced but it took a few attempts by the plumber to get access to make repairs -- we recommend the key is left in the keysafe when a repair is needed. Our cleaners who are highly reputable so it may be that there was a bit of a gap since our previous guests. We visited the week of 20th June and everything was in good order. Peter (Owner)

“Family House in great area”
Had a lovely few days in Pucknowle. The house is very roomy with a big garden that the children loved. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Pucknowle is a picturesque village with a good local pub and is situated close to the coast. You can walk to the coast but it’s a bit of a trek so you will need a a car.

“Lovely comfortable cottage”
We enjoyed a great family week staying in this lovely comfortable cottage. There was plenty of room for all of us including parents, grand parents and children of varying ages. Great location only 1.5 miles from the beach, which we enjoyed walking to. We would certainly recommend a stay and will be going back.

“Puncknowle Special”
This cottage is spacious allowing several members of a family or friends to stay. The two sitting rooms are handy if somebody wishes to avoid the TV. Comfortable beds with two bathrooms or washing areas.Kitchen well equipped with plates and cutlery though a few more items like pyrex dishes would help. Safe large garden suitable for children to kick a ball around. The cottage is in a quiet attractive part of Dorset. Great place to stay.
