Sandy Combe Reviews

We enjoyed the way the house was laid out, with big open plan space on the first floor snd bedrooms below. However, the noise transference from people walking around upstairs really disturbed the children in the bedroom below. The location was excellent and we enjoyed our time there as a large family. One or two things to bring to your attention the cleaner seemed to have left in a hurry there was a full o look and of wet bedding left in the washing machine we dried and folded it and there were cobwebs around the place. Overall pretty clean but not more than that. There was no hand towel towel provided for the upstairs WC nor forchh the kitchen. However we appreciated the Dorset hamper and the cleaning materials left for us.

A wonderful home. Spotlessly clean. Light and airy. Superb open open plan living area with a generous amount of space. Very comfortable seating and bedding. Many books, games, toys which were all appreciated. Thoughtful touches such as rugs and beach toys. Plentiful hot water. Quiet location. Almost on the coast path, which is great. Designed with generous space and executed with impressive craftmanship throughout. Excellent and welcoming for a three generation family holiday. Thank you.

Sandra

A beautiful, comfortable, well equipped and perfectly appointed home from home. We are so very thankful to have been able to stay at Sandy Combe, the only downside was leaving! Everything was as listed, parking was perfect and location to the bay is only a few minutes walk. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Wonderful house, loved every minute of our stay. The property had everything we needed for a great holiday celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with family. Very comfortable and clean with fantastic views of West Bay and out to sea. We will definitely book again if available next year. We all love West Bay.

A wonderful location and a great property. Thank you. Sadly there were 5 loads of dog mess left by the previous people. We had four young children with us so that really was bad for us to find on arrival. It was all over the garden. Secondly, please find a way to offer recycling. Telling holiday makers to drive to the tip is unreasonable and people wont do it. Its 2024 we must all do better for our planet. Other properties had lots of different bins. Overall we loved it though. Very well equipped place with beautiful views. We had a fabulous time.

Philippa

Nice house nice position was exactly as we expected but I think Sykes Cottages let you down as you cant get hold of anyone. You cant talk to anyone. This is important to get your Holiday right So when I had to report a problem, they couldnt talk to me because I didnt have my reference number that is Unacceptable !

The accommodation provided a wonderful living space and we enjoyed our stay immensely. It was good that there were plenty of games, books and even such things as art materials available. It was well equipped and there was nice bed linen and towels. It was noticeable that thought had gone into visitor comfort. Very minor things The shower floors were not as clean as they could have been. We could have done with a teapot. It was surprising that there was only one tea towel fortunately I had brought more from home, no washingup liquid and a very small washing up cloth. A couple of things needed attention and dealt with quickly and efficiently by the managers of the property.

Sandra

The house worked for us as we love open plan kitchendiningliving areas. These were really well zoned. The dogs liked using the small balcony as their lookout post. They enjoy repelling invaders. Upstairs was comfortably lived in, downstairs the bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate. Great position for views and access to West Baycoastal path as advertised. Lovely planting in garden though I did itch to do some deadheading! Two points front door tricky to lockunlock initial access to property through gate a bit tricky with prams or reduced mobility on steps without handrail. A fabulous property and we would return. Thank you for sharing your home.

Beautiful house in the perfect location by the beach to explore the Jurassic coast. Its barely 30 seconds straight onto the coastal path from a private residents only access one way and another minute the other way onto West Beach and into West Bay centre. We really enjoyed the open plan upstairs and spent too many hours rain or shine getting lost in the seaview. We wanted a quiet beach holiday so was happy with off season West Bay which still provided plenty of options for all our needs. Judging from the holiday parks around West Bay, we imagine it gets heaving in summer months. As the other guests mentioned we also received a lovely hamper with tasty Dorset treats! Yummy! We would recommend the host consider providing some cleaning products and extra tea towels and bin liner. We didnt find any recycling facility which is weird as the other residents had recycling and composting bins. If we were ever back in Dorset, would definitely be looking to stay in Sandy Combe again!

What a fabulous house! Stylish and well equipped, it really felt like home for our very sunny week in Dorset. We loved the sea views and the 20 metre walk from the garden gate to the cliff top benches, enjoying a glass of wine whilst taking in the stunning views and the glorious sunsets. We loved every minute of our stay here and we really didnt want to go homeespecially our two dogs who thoroughly enjoyed living their best life by the sea. The gorgeous welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. Thank you so much to the owners for sharing their lovely home and if you rent it out again next year, Im sure we will be back.

Rachel

Beautiful house in a stunning location with lovely views. Ample space, very comfortable, nice garden. Beds comfortable. Very short walk to beaches and harbour, coastal path just a few steps from house. Veranda was wonderful spot to catch sun and enjoy the view. Only negative was cleanliness. Kitchen and bathroom sinks, toilets and shower clean, but mirrors, floors, radiators, window sills etc were not as clean as I expected and there were no cleaning products available for me to remedy thus, so I had to purchase. Apart from this we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return.

Barbara

This is a wonderful holiday rental. It is very comfortable and within easy reach of many sites. The information binder is very useful. Toys and baby seat much appreciated. Being able to walk to shops and the beach was really wonderful.

Dipesh

An absolute gem of a property, the information and facilities provided for the guests were pitched just right, enough to get us going. The welcome hamper was a nice touch. The general upkeep and high quality of the property did not go unnoticed, it made the property feel like a home away from home, and somewhere we looked forward to getting back to. it was a pleasure to stay there. If I had to say any negatives, they are small, after my shower walking bare foot in the main bedroom, my feet were covered in dust?! maybe the rugs were not hoovered? And the bin situation was a bit confusing, with no recycle bins etc.. and a full blue wheelie bin on the Saturday that we arrived.

Jessica

What an amazing property in an amazing location. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there and were reluctant to come home. An area of improvement would be the cleanliness, it wasnt bad, but it wasnt spick and span! You could see under the sofas were quite thick with dust and there was a lot of cobwebs. Nothing to affect our stay but I would have expected the cleaning to have been of a better standard for the cost of the holiday.
