Stepping Stones is a quaint cottage in a beautiful, quiet village in Dorset, appreciated for its seclusion and well-equipped nature. While some guests look forward to returning, others have noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance that need addressing.
Several reviews mention a lack of cleanliness, including unclean bedding and a general state of neglect. There was also a mention of an unpleasant smell. These issues suggest significant room for improvement.
The cottage is praised for its beautiful and quiet village location. However, there are discrepancies regarding proximity to the beach and local amenities, such as the pub being closed, which affects the overall score.
There is insufficient information on the comfort of the cottage, such as the quality of the beds or seating, to provide a score.
Guests have reported that the cottage is well-equipped, but there are also numerous complaints about broken appliances and a need for maintenance and TLC, indicating that the facilities could be significantly improved.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.
