  • "A clean and comfortable property, but definitely in need of some further updating."

    Like a previous reviewer, I was surprised there was no dishwasher, as the kitchen had been modernised along with the bathroom. Outside, the property looks a little shabby compared to others around it and the driveway is fairly narrow, which is not helped by having a holly hedge next to it!

  • "Fabulous location for walking to the beach huts daily."

    I hadn’t realised there was no dishwasher at the property which was a bit of a disappointment having to wash up for 4 people nightly. The kitchen utensils/pots & pans do need looking at & renewing. The knives were all pretty blunt and a lot of the pans were quite well used with bottoms scrapped off. The downstairs shower head needs looking at as it just trickled out a few of the holes in the middle of the head & we all ended up using the upstairs shower despite picking a property with 2 bathrooms for ease. The info book said to put bins out on Thurs night for a Friday collection but we saw the residents putting theirs out Thursday morning luckily so we did same & collection is Thursday, so that needs updating. The WiFi seemed very slow when 4 of us were connected & if you wanted to browse internet you had to come off the WiFi. As I say it’s a great location but parts of the property & kitchen contents need a bit of TLC. Also it’s the only holiday let we stayed in that had no welcome pack at all.

  • "Lovely property, well equipped and comfortable."

    Contains modern kitchen, shower room and bathroom. Decor needs updating in places but has been very clean both times we have stayed here. We are highly likely to stay here again. Bit of a walk to town and beach, ok going down but coming back either up a long hill or shortcuts up steep paths. Great for fit people not so good if you have mobility issues like me, but that won't stop us staying again.

  • "Overall the house was really good but due to a stay over Christmas, the house could do with some more kitchenware as we noticed there was a lack of baking trays and a measuring jug - but that was it."

    Everything was as it was listed and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom is an excellent facility which enabled a disabled relative to join us for the holiday. Thank you very much. Sam Cornwell.

    Thank you for your feedback and positive comments. We will take on board your observations regarding kitchenware and make sure there are sufficient trays and measuring jug from now on. Happy New Year . Property Owner

About the location

SWANAGE

Wareham 9.7 miles; Poole 20 miles.

The small, family-friendly seaside resort of Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck and is probably best known for its wonderful, gently shelving golden sands. The little town offers visitors plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and is also well known for its annual jazz festival, which takes place each July. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers, it’s a wonderful place to watch the world pass by. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a picturesque 6-mile journey, chugging through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. Nearby Durlston Country Park offers a lovely day out with spectacular coastal walks, dolphin spotting and wildlife watching, together with comfortable viewing points and a well-stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air. Take the short drive to Studland, which has one of the finest beaches in the country, surrounded by heathland, together with the regular chain ferry, which crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks. This truly is a delightful holiday destination at any time of the year.
