Reviews

A good location for Arne and Studland and the Purbeck coast. Close to shops, beach Swanage railway.

Mr L,

Perhaps not ideal for the over 70s, unless very fit, in view of the stairs and parking situation.

Mr S,

A delightful little cottage and garden. Extremely comfortable beds with lovely bedlinen ( always a bonus ). Excellent location . A really great place to stay.

Mrs T,

Lovely quirky and comfortable cottage but not suitable for anyone walking difficulties as the stairs are quite steep. Always had a good night’s sleep due to the extremely comfy bed. Ideally situated for the beach, town centre shops, pubs and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and loved the cottage and Swanage.

Mr A,

Quirky but homely property in fantastic location, comfortable too with lovely little garden and very handy outdoor store, ideal for kids beach toys. Would stay again

Mrs H,
