“We have had a fabulous stay at lynch Cottage.”

It was so comfortable, the view is stunning and the owners have thought of everything. Our children loved the freedom of the grounds. We will be back.

Snezana September 2024

“This was a wonderful cottage.”

We, and our dogs, loved our stay. It was in such a special location, quiet and peaceful but near enough to many interesting and beautiful locations. The kitchen was very well equipped, as was the cottage itself. So much thought had gone into ensuring that we were provided with everything we could possibly need, and more. The garden was amazing, huge and very well kept, so we, and our dogs, spent a lot of time outside as we had perfect weather during our stay. The beds were very comfortable too and it was a bonus to have the sinks in each bedroom. The cottage was well laid out and ideal for guests and another bonus was the bag of goodies provided on our arrival, plus the milk in the fridge. We really did have a special stay. Thank you all.

“Fabulous house with beautiful views, extremely well maintained and comfortable.”

We loved the history of the house shared in photographs and paintings. Wish we could have stayed longer and hopefully we will be back!

“What a fantastic property, in the most amazing location.”

.we had the perfect time there..the cottage was stunning, clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor space was great for the dogs, and we didn’t have to worry about traffic or people, as it’s very secluded. I would recommend Lynch cottage to anyone and we would definitely go back and stay..superb

Simon May 2024

“The perfect cottage if you like tranquility and enjoy nature, being completely secluded but within easy access of the jurassic coast attractions.”

A short walk directly from the cottage through unspoilt and well maintained woodland takes you directly onto the south coast path. We enjoyed days out followed by relaxing evenings sitting on the patio with a drink, listening to and watching the birds flying about the wooded valley. We were a party of 5 (+dog) and the only improvement we would make to the accommodation would be to have more comfortable furniture in the lounge to relax in after our days out. Also, a sign to the cottage from the main road, or even half way down the track would be useful, as there is no indication at all that you are in the vicinity of the accommodation. We will definitely be returning at some point.

“Lovely cottage and generally very well equipped.”

Could have done with a couple of extra tea towels and bin bags (or told beforehand to bring them). A couple of bulbs weren't working.

“We have stayed at Lynch Cottage on a number of occasions which indicates how much we enjoy staying here.”

It is very much a home from home and has a wonderful calmness. The peace and tranquility mean that you don’t really have to go anywhere but when you do there are plenty of attractions and good walking within easy reach. Ideal for our dog who finds other dogs a challenge so we are all very happy. Thank you for sharing this idyllic cottage.

“My ideal home, end of a long drive on private land, surrounded by woodland, no one to bother you but the bird song, and views of the sea, idealic, so lucky to find it, and must return.”

Inside was warm and had everything you needed. Thank you

“The house was lovely and had everything we needed.”

We and our dogs really enjoyed the garden - it was definite highlight.

Kaye February 2023

“Amazing place, we will be back.”

You under sell this place, its nicer than it looks and my only gripe is the seats in the lounge very uncomfortable. The beds are comfortable, water hot and its well heated. lots of books to read and activities to do. Arriving there is like stepping back in time, so quiet and right by the coastal path. Loads of fossil hunting done, great meals out and memories made

- Kaye, February 2023
Lynne December 2022

“We had a lovely stay over Christmas at Lynch Cottage.”

We had plenty of space, were warm and comfortable and the range cooker is fabulous. The living room furniture is a little small, a smart tv would have been nice and a better hoover would have helped with keeping the lovely house clean but these are small points intended only as feedback for future improvements. We would thoroughly recommend the cottage for a cosy winter stay.

- Lynne, December 2022
Sarah November 2022

“We have stayed at Lynch Cottage on a number of occasions and love it.”

The location is perfect and the views are stunning. We love the peace and quiet, a real get away. The only reason that we marked slightly down on ‘Comfort’ is that the sofas are not very forgiving otherwise it is very comfortable and well equipped.

- Sarah, November 2022
Helen October 2022

“Property was damp and smelled musty.”

No room felt welcoming as many notes with instructions everywhere. Perhaps the welcome pack/book a more suitable location? Beds not made up as requested, despite confirmation they would be. Access to property from road blocked by bins second morning. We therefore left three days early from a five day stay.

- Helen, October 2022
Stuart August 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Lynch Cottage.”

The property has a very secluded, quiet location, within sight of the sea - although we could not find a route to the sea within easy walking distance. The lovely gardens are fully enclosed, making it a safe space for our dog to roam free. Inside, the house is well furnished and equipped. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the dining room and kitchen had everything you would expect in terms of appliances, utensils, cutlery, etc. A slight disappointment was the small TV with no SMART facility. Our boys very much enjoyed using the table tennis table at the of the property.

- Stuart, August 2022

Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed the cottage and garden and table tennis! We tend to attach our laptop to the HDMI port of the TV if we want to watch a movie. I will try and leave a cable there although laptops do vary. Property Owner
David June 2022

“We greatly enjoyed a very relaxing week at spacious and well-equipped Lynch Cottage - made really perfect by this unique property's very private and peaceful "Secret Garden" setting, where the trees and meadows slope gently down to the nearby sea - and the noisiest neighbours were wood-pigeons song-thrushes and chaff-chaffs.”

It all made for a perfect escapist retreat, whether under a blue June sky or wrapped in an atmospheric sea-mist (and we experienced both!).We have rented many a holiday cottage over the years - but have never found a better hideaway far from the "madding crowd". We were reluctant to leave at the end of our week. After two weeks we would probably have refused to!

- David, June 2022

Thank you for the lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed our cottage so much. Property Owner
Ellie May 2022

“This is our second stay and overall the property was as delightful as always.”

Having towels provided was a bonus this time. However it was a pity that the gate to the field is now padlocked. We can understand why if other guests are letting dogs run wild but it meant an awkward climb for my elderly mother instead. Otherwise we had a lovely stay.

- Ellie, May 2022

Thank you so much for returning to our beloved cottage. The code for the padlock should be in the guest file. I will make sure that it is. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Rebecca May 2022

“Really appreciated that we could holiday with our dogs.”

Beautiful home and gardens, absolutely love the remoteness and scenery.
