Guests say
Two Hoots is a charming, historic cottage praised for its excellent location in Swanage, close to the beach, town centre, and local attractions. Guests appreciate its quirkiness, cosy atmosphere, and the thoughtful touches like flowers and biscuits. While some find it small and quirky, the comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchen are highlights. It's a dog-friendly property, ideal for exploring the surrounding Purbeck area.
The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with fresh and clean linen noted. However, there are concerns about the bedding checks and a mention of mould in the bathroom, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for being central, within walking distance to the beach, shops, and eateries, and as a base for hill walks. Parking can be challenging, but on-street options are available a short walk away.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially when heaters are used. Some guests mention that seating could be more comfortable and the property can feel cramped for larger groups.
The kitchen and appliances are well-received, but there are reports of non-working light switches and an extractor fan, and difficulty with window operation and the front door lock, indicating some maintenance issues.
Guests mention sweet gestures like leaving flowers and biscuits, which add a thoughtful touch to their stay. While these gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every visit.

Mr Jones
Good location for walking into the town centre. Be prepared for lots of hills and steep slopes, people with walking issues beware.

Unclean. Mold in bathroom. Furniture very uncomfortable.

A lovely little cottage on Swanage high street. Exposed beams and stone work make it feel extra special. A very short walk down to the town centre and up the high street to The Black Swan.
