I've been meeting up annually with my friends for over 20 years in different places and this property is easily one of the best we've been to. Great location, fantastically kitted out, nice decor and extremely comfortable. Seriously considering booking again for next year rather than looking for somewhere else as normal.

Loved staying at Sunshine Cottage, the views were amazing and the interior thoughtfully decorated. The sound of the waves at night were very soothing and helped provided a great nights sleep. The garden was brilliant for the dog and the restaurant a short walk away provided lovely food. We would love to stay here again!

Some aspects of the house needs a little maintenance, ie two sealed units in the lounge had broken down, hence misty windows, and the bedroom 1 window we were unable to open.

Our hearts sank when we approached the house, it looked very run down, and really looked out of place compared with the other houses in the road.

Sunshine cottage is beautiful, the photos really do not do this place justice, the lounge area with views over looking the sea are incredible. The garden is so much bigger than it comes across. The cottage is within walking distance, both up and down the hill to some really nice places to eat. The Club House does delicious fish dishes. The beach iRead mores shingle and an incredibly popular beach if you like fishing. This was a lovely family gateway and the cottage is the perfect size for 5 adults and 2 children. We enjoyed a visit on our last morning by a friendly chicken coming into the garden. Thank you. Hide

House is in a great location and is light and airy. The house is a bit tired in places but fine as a base and good for families as close to beach and has a large garden.

Overall fantastic location and we had a good stay. Things to note for other guests, the driveway is extremely narrow and was unable to get out of the vehicle each side which caused issues loading/unloading the car, had to park at the bottom of the driveway. The downstairs shower room has a high step so anyone with mobility issues may struggle I hadRead more to help my mum in and out each morning. The TV was a little intermittent and unable to load Netflix wouldn't normally bother us if it was summer but was a bit annoying as we stayed over Christmas and had dark nights so wanted to use TV in the evening. The dishwasher had a fault and tripped out the electric on Christmas eve I called both Original Cottages and Dorset managed services and they resolved the issue by calling out an electrician who was there within the hour, they were fantastic! Would stay again if the shower was updated and made accessible as overall we were very comfy and the location is stunning. Look out for the amazing sunsets, the welcome goodies were a nice touch.
