Amanda Goodwin
Excellent cottage, lovely soft bed and pillow we enjoyed the best sleep. Very peaceful and great place to unwind. Good location to Swanage, Studland and The Blue Pool a gem of a place. We would thoroughly recommend. Wi-Fi would have been a bonus, but we coped without it. Very dog friendly which makes a nice change to have no list of rules.
