• "We had a really lovely comfortable week in Sunny Haven."

  The cottage is very convenient, warm, clean and comfortable and very well equipped with everything you would need. We relaxed instantly on arrival. It is located in Preston a short drive to Overcombe beach and a couple of minutes longer to Weymouth itself. Also it is easy to get to Portland Bill, Kimmeridge and lots of other places of interest. We would not hesitate to return to Sunny Haven. Davina & Geoff from Sittingbourne

  As owners, we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Suggestions for improvements to the property are welcomed as we are always looking to make our guests stays as good as possible.. Property Owner

• "Comfortable and very well equipped."

  Also the large enclosed garden great for the dog. Special mention for Chalbury Food and Wine about 100 yards away. Wonderful local shop and a great bacon roll.

• "We have just returned from spending New Year at Sunny Haven."

  Having booked a bungalow due to my husbands lack of mobility we were disappointed at the very small steps into the property both at the front and back. From the outside the property looks nice with new windows but once inside it is very tired and old fashioned. Lovely kitchen and bathroom but the lounge is very dated, very tired furniture and not very comfortable seating, with only one small coffee table for all. The lounge dining chairs are very unstable and the kitchen ones very uncomfortable. 4.5 tog duvets not adequate for winter and not enough decent blankets to make up for them, good job we took our own blankets. Desperately need an outside light at the back. Definitely not worth the almost £1000 paid to spend New Year in Weymouth.

  Thank you for your valuable feedback. Dream Cottages property management will take a look at the dining chairs, thank you for bringing this to our attention. There was extra winter duvets in the cupboards of the property, it is a shame you did not contact the Dream Cottages team during your stay, we would have been able to help you find the extra duvets. We'd love to welcome you back to Weymouth again. Dream Cottages Property Owner

• "We hired the bungalow for our grandson and family, having stayed there ourselves the previous year and since we have moved to Weymouth ourselves, it was a great choice for us to get together over Christmas, the bungalow is beautiful and well stocked with all your needs and comfort, a special mention for the owners for their kind and thoughtfulness of gifts for our grandsons baby and themselves, on behalf of ourselves and our grandson’s family we would like to wish them a very happy New Year and would like to re visit the property again in the near future."

• "Sunny Haven is set in a lovely location with easy access to the surrounding area."

  The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped and a large secure garden. Everything we needed was available, the only thing I would recommend is a light for the back garden.

• "Had a great couple of weeks at sunny haven, lovely little bungalow."

  Everything you need is at hand. Only a 5min drive to seafront, and about the same to bowleaze. All in all, a great holiday, thank you.

• "We stayed at Sunny Haven last year so this was our second visit which again we enjoyed very much, thank you."

  We find the property has all we need and is ideal for exploring the surrounding area, also impressed with the new shower. Another added bonus is the enclosed back garden which our Airedale Terrier enjoyed. We will definitely book again. Many thanks. Denise

• "We stayed here last year and the improvements to windows and shower very good."

  Sunny haven is in excellent location. 15 mins walk to the quite end off the beach. Local shops takeaways and pubs close too. When we arrived we noticed the grass was long and looked like it had not been cut for a while. In the mornings noticed alot off slugs in the grass what's not good for your dog. On day 11 grass was cut what reduced the amount of slugs. Could do with some sort off lighting in back garden as its very dark when you let the dog out at night and also has some uneven patio slabs. Overall a excellent place to stay and will return in the future.

• "Good location."

  Plenty room, bed was comfy. However there was never any hot water, luckily there was an electric shower. There was a musty damp smell throughout the property. Just needs thorough clean and redecorating then would be really good. Other Sykes properties we have stayed in left welcome packs of milk and bread.

• "Lovely accommodation and just wanted we needed."

  We have stayed in this area several times before and this bungalow by far is the best, the garden for the dog was fantastic and so much bigger than the pictures show. I would also suggest that you update your photos as the new windows and front door and the shower cubicle are a lovely addition which enhances the property further. To make this property even better it would be lovely to have a bigger patio area but understand this is not a priority. If it was my property i would maybe suggest a smaller table in the lounge as the property only accommodates 4 people so no need for 6 seater table and it would free up a bit more space. We only came back home yesterday and have booked for next year already as for us it suited us perfectly, the dog was beside himself running around in the big back garden, happy dog, happy owners !

  Thank you for such a lovely review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Sunny Haven and especially that 'Fido' enjoyed his play in the garden! We hope to place new pictures on the website soon but discovered that our own picture of the refurbished bathroom did not have enough megapixels for the company which uploads them! However, we hope it will not be too long before the updated photos are on the website. Thank you again for your interest and comments which are very welcome! Property Owner

• "Single beds are too soft for adults."

  TV not connected to wifi. The property is spacious and well equipped, and well situated for Weymouth.

  We are sorry that you felt the single beds are too soft. We will be looking into this at the end of the season. Any problems such as those you encountered with the Wifi and TV can usually be dealt with promptly by calling the Dream Cottages number where one of their staff is available to help solve such problems. Various members of their team can address diverse problems such as central heating, water supply, faulty equipment, etc ,etc. If you as guests do not contact them about such things then the problems cannot be rectified either for yourselves to enjoy the rest of your stay or before the next guests arrive. If Dream Cottages are not informed of any such defects then only you know of them. Thank you for your comments. All are useful to help us improve any shortcomings in the property. Property Owner

• "A great place to stay, perfectly located and a cosy bungalow with large back garden."

  The tea and coffee packs on arrival were thoughtful. I'm not sure what a couple of previous reviews meant about the windows and bins. All windows had keys and could be opened easily & safely. Because bin day is Thurs there's going to be a bag of rubbish in the bin, same as you'll be leaving one yourself on a Friday or weekend check in. Overall a lovely holiday was had, especially appreciated the washing machine, dishwasher, jigsaws and books. Perhaps a few more children's books could be a nice addition?

• "On the whole it was a lovely relaxing stay."

  Felt really at home there. The whole place was well equipped and clean and the beds were really comfortable. The garden was really nice although could benefit from an outdoor light if possible. My only concerns were very minor and may seem petty. They were, a loose toilet seat in the main bathroom and we were unable to open any windows in the property without the fear of damaging them.

• "Great holiday home in a lovely location."

  Clean and comfortable making the perfect base for exploring Dorset. Driveway easy to park and lovely well maintained garden for our puppy. Lots of kitchen utensils and kitchen is perfect. Lounge fab with plenty of seating and a table for the kids to do crafts. Shower room functional and does the job. Bigger shower would be amazing and easier for parents to shower the kids but it was fine for us to use. Would use again if visiting the area and would highly recommend! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

  The main problem is the shower which was very old fashioned and too small for my husband to even get into!! I would only re book this bungalow if this were updated. More low lighting is needed in the lounge there was no visitors book so i put my comments on a piece of paper
