Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy and well-maintained. There were isolated mentions of dog hairs and a blocked freezer compartment, but these appear to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is praised for its proximity to walking paths and local attractions, though the current building works and road noise have affected some guests' experiences. The picturesque setting and nearby village amenities are frequently mentioned positives.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of a super comfortable bed and cosy living space. Some guests noted issues with sofa cushions and steep stairs, but overall, the cottage is seen as a comfortable stay.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and secure garden for dogs. However, there are comments about the need for better glazing against traffic noise, and some guests suggested additional kitchenware and maintenance improvements.
Guests have appreciated the thoughtful gestures, such as welcome gifts, although it is politely noted that these are not guaranteed. The provision of dog treats and local recommendations add to the sense of a considerate host.
About this property
Resting in the tranquil and chocolate-box village of Langton Matravers, lies Sea Pink Cottage, a beautiful and newly refurbished Purbeck Stone cottage, just two miles from the seaside town of Swanage. This inviting retreat is a perfect choice for couples looking to escape normal life and explore the magnificent Jurassic coast. Be welcomed into the open-plan living space where you can settle down in the warmth of the electric fire and get lost in an enthralling novel, or tune into the TV and catch up on your favourite shows. Take a perch at the breakfast bar in the kitchen area and plan your holiday itinerary before whipping up a delicious home cooked meal using all the usual conveniences of an electric oven, gas hob and microwave. When the day draws to a close, retire to the beautiful bedroom, housing a sumptuous king-size bed, complete with quality linens and a plush duvet that is waiting to be curled up in after an action-packed day. Venturing out from the property, you are just a few minutes from the popular “Kings Arms” public house, serving home cooked meals and local ales, as well as the village shop where you can pick up your daily essentials such as bread, milks and eggs. Walkers can embark on adventures from the door, particularly along the Priests Way, which leads you along an ancient track passing between quarries and across fields, with glorious views of the countryside. Swanage can be reached in just over 2 miles and is home to a long stretch of golden sand resting in a sheltered bay, perfect for taking a dip in its clear, shallow waters. This blue flag beach has a stunning sweeping coastline with many attractions and the town is home to the prized vintage steam railway where you can experience a unique journey through six miles of beautiful scenery passing the magnificent ruins of Corfe Castle. Sea Pink Cottage will make a fabulous home-away-from-home.
Langton Matravers is a little village nestled on the Isle of Purbeck, in the county of Dorset.

This fully detracts from the property experience. -the access building is not secure as it is open to the public as both doors are not lockable - anyone can enter - how safe is this? - what are the fire safety arrangements as there is no other way out as the derelict buildings are attached and the building site adjoins? - keeping long lawn grass for wildlife is applauded but what about recycling- only one bin provided - but we must recycle into 3 bins - as you state in the information pack and as we all should? not environmentally friendly sadly. We tried our best with sorting in our own bags in the living room - not ideal. - the TV didn't work - only on our netflix account and we reported this but heard nothing - Wi Fi kept dropping out - it is clear parking is an issue being distant and with the unpleasant access through the derelict building not easy/nice. Clearly all concerned with the letting know that the access and parking arrangement won't work until the new development is complete and bays for the rental properties delivered next to them. Years away? In the meantime the arrangement is not acceptable as others have said previously. I have a video and I am happy to share with future bookees so that they really know what awaits them and informs their decision to book this property. When all of the adjacent building work is complete and access and parking sorted out this will be a fabulous property to rent but not til then. Happy for you to discuss the return of some of our monies as we feel this would be reasonable.
