The Mayflower in Swanage receives generally positive reviews for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location near the beach and town. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, spaciousness, and extra touches like games and ample parking. While most experiences are favourable, a few guests mention issues with maintenance and dampness, though these are not the majority.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests find the Mayflower clean and welcoming, with several positive comments on its tidiness. However, there are concerns raised about dampness and mould by one guest, which slightly lowers the overall cleanliness perception.
The location is highly praised for being close to the beach and town centre, making it an ideal spot for visitors looking to explore Swanage. The convenience of the location is consistently noted across reviews.
Guests generally regard the Mayflower as comfortable and warm, with good bedding and spacious rooms. Some minor issues with furniture and space for clothing in one of the bedrooms are mentioned, but overall, the comfort level is high.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen amenities and entertainment options like games. Some guests note maintenance issues such as a problematic oven door and strong bathroom door closers, indicating room for improvement in this area.
While guests appreciate the extra touches like cleaning products and loo rolls, there is no consistent mention of gifts such as wine or milk upon arrival. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the provided reviews.

Well located in Swanage and only a 5 minute walk to the centre. The accomodation was great and plenty of room for 4 adults. Local pubs and restaurants provided good food.

A shame there were no instruction for A) Washing machine although we managed without B) dishwasher which resulted in doing the same wash twice and C) the very nice large new TV which we really did not benefit from as we are not into the digital world
