Bay Tree Cottage Reviews

Wendy
Had a wonderful time with family and friendsâ?¦ ideal cottage for those with children and just friends.. home away from home!
Sue
A good holiday property, especially for families with youngish children. There is a wonderful garden for them to play in and lovely outdoor eating area. The tv/playroom is great for children to chill out in, lots of toys and books. Also nice area where adults can relax in the evening. The views from the house are amazing, with Corfe Castle standing proud and Poole Harbour in the distance. Easy to get to nice beaches. Beware if you are fairly tall, there are several low beams.
Julian
We were lucky with the weather during our pre-Easter stay, and took full advantage of the beautiful garden to sit in the sun, protected from the cold breeze. We had a lovely holiday in this cottage. Notably, never before have we stayed anywhere which supplied so many children's toys; so much so that we didn't need to unpack any that we brought along for our 4 year old grand daughter - an Aladdin's cave for children and a comfortable and pleasant space for adults to relax in the evenings. The kitchen equipment was of a very good quality and the beds were extremely comfortable. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.
Annie
The location of this property couldn't really be better! 15 minutes from everywhere, beautiful views over Purbeck from the front door, a really great pub just across the road, a few minutes from Corfe Castle. I would definitely return here, it was perfect for a family weekend away and made us all fall in love with Dorset. Incredibly peaceful part of the world.
Penny
Disappointing.
Ian
Stayed at the cottage for a week. From the outside it only looks small but when you walk in, it is like the tardis. Amazing garden. Opposite the local pub, but no disturbances from that area. Fantastic walks straight outside the door.
Paul
Lovely cottage, well equipped with play equipment / toys for children. Kitchen was well equipped & location is good for.
Andrea
I cannot recommend this lovely cottage highly enough! It is perfect for a family holiday. Location is fantastic, close to Corfe Castle and beautiful sandy beaches. Quiet residential location opposite a country pub. The cottage itself is deceptively spacious and has everything you could need. The layout is great for families and the play room and garden are fantastic. I would definitely recommend and will certainly be booking again!!
Rachel
Really lovely cottage that is set up brilliantly for families - the play room is a wonderful feature! The garden is beautiful, and the rooms and beds so comfortable.
