"Fabulous little cottage - we found it just right for the two of us."
It was spotlessly clean, had everything we needed for a week's stay, and was very cosy in the evenings. The owners struck the right balance of friendliness and helpfulness, but didn't intrude, and were lovely to chat to.
The only negative is that the sofa wasn't very comfortable - it was quite low.
We are planning a return trip in early summer as there is a lot of scope for local walks from the cottage - we would like to stroll around the village in the evening.

"The property was perfectly located to explore Studland."
It was very clean and had everything we needed.
The only comment we would make is that the settee was very low and therefore uncomfortable after sitting for a short while.

"A quaint little place."
It was very clean and well kept. The owners were friendly and respectful. Personally I found the bed and seating a bit uncomfortable but not enough to ruin the holiday. The only drawback for us was the access road being very uneven due to large potholes.
Hi Karen and Rod
Thank you for your comments.
Thank you for leaving the annexe so clean and the thank you card. Pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and that you may recommend 'Little Crabapple' to your friends and family.
We hope the unmade road will be improved soon, though it will remain as an unmade rural road.
Hope to see you again one day.
Very best wishes

"Loved to be at little crabapple."
It has all the comfort you need. Fully equipped kitchen, roomy bedroom an wonderful bathroom. The only thing that I didn't like was the sofa, for me personally it was too low. But my husband had no problems with that. The owners Richard and Colette were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Love to come back some day. Irene W

"Lovely place to stay including the spacious bedroom and lovely extension with modern kitchen."
All beautifully presented and we hadn’t realised it is so close to the cliff paths and beautiful walks. Nice traditional pub nearby and very short drive to Swanage. Although the annexe is very private, Richard and Colette were lovely to chat to when we met them. We would definitely return and highly recommend Little Crabapple.

"Accommodation is very cosy the cleanliness is first class and so warm."
However, the private road is full of puddles and potholes and I found it difficult to negotiate being older and a little unsteady.

"This is well-equipped accommodation in a delightful village."
Everything is very clean and smartly decorated and furnished. We were comfortably warm when the weather turned a little chilly, and suspect that the living area had underfloor heating, although this is not mentioned in the description. We'd certainly recommend it. Many thanks.

"My husband & I really enjoyed our stay at Little Crabapple."
The accommodation is spotlessly clean, very comfortable & very well equiped with everything you need. We love walking and there are so many great walks you can do in various directions right from the door. We appreciated also that we had a parking space. We would definitely have no hesitation at all in rebooking to go there again and would certainly recommend to others.

"Little Crabapple cottage is conveniently situated near to the coast & very near the village shop, which sells newspapers as well as food."
Its also reachable by train to Wareham then a bus if you don't want to drive. The bus runs hourly between Wareham & Swanage.
The cottage is spotless & comfortable, looking onto a pretty front garden. Colette & Richard are helpful & friendly hosts. Its a gem, in a beautiful countryside/coastal area.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Little Crabapple."
I was on my own and it was ideal for me as I had all I needed plus was able to park on a driveway which was a real bonus. Lots to do and see nearby - look out for posters for local events plus Monkey World, RSPB Arne, and Corfe Castle all nearby. The bus was just £4 return to Swanage or Poole from a stop just around the corner. Local pub has a little shop and cafe. I would recommend the Little Crabapple to anyone wanting a little peace and quiet. Wifi was good too!

"Fantastic.
Although I read reviews, I rarely complete them myself, but Little Crabapple has caused me to overcome my usual lethargy and put finger to keyboard."
We have self-catered in the UK for 4 decades and this is the best property we have stayed at. We were not expecting too much room but were pleasantly surprised with the proportions and effective use of space and large bathroom and it exceeded my expectations.
In order of importance to me are cleanliness, comfort, comprehensively equipped and location and none could be faulted.
In addition to this the owners were friendly, welcoming and engaging, without ever being intrusive or negatively impacting on the relaxing break we were seeking.
We had a fantastic week
