Guests say

Guests consistently praise the spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful welcome basket of this Swanage cottage. Its proximity to the beach, local amenities, and a park adds to its charm. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the property's homely touches and games room are highlights, contributing to a memorable stay for families and groups.

The property is frequently described as very clean, with only a few isolated comments about minor cleanliness issues such as dirty windows and dog hair, which do not detract significantly from the overall high standards maintained.

The location is highly praised for its convenience, being within easy walking distance to the beach, town, and local attractions. The adjacent park is also appreciated, especially by dog owners.

The property is generally found to be comfortable, with a spacious kitchen and games room. However, some guests noted a lack of comfortable seating in the lounge and hard mattresses in some bedrooms.

Facilities like the pool table and well-equipped kitchen are appreciated, but some guests suggest improvements such as additional cutlery and better temperature control in showers. The TV was also mentioned as tricky to operate.

The welcome basket is mentioned positively in several reviews, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. However, it is important to note that such gestures, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Aprille

    Pool table was great fun and there was plenty of hot water and heating. Super place. * Would be great to have some more armchairs or comfortable seating. The small lounge does not seat 10 people - so it does mean the rest of the group are sitting on hard kitchen chairs for most of the evening. * As mentioned by previous guests - the mattress in the double room (with the sink) is very hard & uncomfortable.

    Only a short walk to the beach. Great to be able to walk in to the heart of Swanage.

  • Carole

    It was very clean and comfortable and plenty of room for 7 of us and a dog! The pool table was a great hit for children and adults and it was situated just off the kitchen so we could still all be together. The only slight negative was the lounge was very small for 7 people. However we just spent all our time in the kitchen instead! Thank you!
