Delightful cottage in fabulous location!
We had a wonderful long weekend staying in this delightful little cottage. The views are spectacular- you can see Corte castle & the sea from the front room & master bedroom. Perfect location for exploring Swanage, Studland & surrounding Dorset countryside. The cottage is really well equipped, very clean & comfy. Parking was easy & for anyone with an EV there are 4 charging points in the main Swanage car park! John was super helpful & replied quickly to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Fantastic family stay. Value for money.
Property is in a beautiful location with stunning views. Very short drive to Swanage and great location for getting to places such as Wareham, Kimmeridge and Durdledoor. As other reviewers have said, the photos don't do the property justice and in todays climate I found the price good value for the amenities. Very clean and property well equipped. Just a note that there's a shared passage at the back of the house to get to the back garden. Just need to be mindful if you are bringing dogs. Also to note, house is accessed by a dirt track.

Lovely accomodation
Absolutely perfect accomodation for our family of 6. It is perfectly situtated within walking distance of the coast without having to be within the tourist area. The property manager was fabulous at communicating and left lots of helpful information for us. The cottage was well equiped and we had everything we needed for our week away.

Wonderful location
We loved our stay. The house is clean and bigger and brighter than it looks in the pictures. Great views towards Corfe and Swanage bay from the front of the house. It’s ideally positioned for walks, perfect for families who enjoy being outdoors, especially if you bring your dog like we did.

Beautiful view
Well modernised cottage. Lovely kitchen and bathroom. Lovely view to front. Bedrooms very light, great in day but would benefit from thicker curtains. Would not recommend for small children due to the prominent stone hearth surround. Also the instruction not to allow the dog to "do its business" in the garden but to take it across the fields renders the garden useless for a dog (Have you ever tried to make one stop) All in all a great place for a family with older children but wouldn't take a dog or small children.
