Location is amazing. Steep hill to town but short distance. Great views. The house is full of character, and has everything you need for self catering or bringing back fish and chips :-) We had no trouble with parking.

A beautiful flat, central yet still quiet. Really well equipped, warm and cosy. Useful info pack and good directions/parking instructions. An added surprise was a bottle of fizz on our arrival, perfect for New Year's Eve. Would definitely book again.

The Staff are excellent, so helpful and friendly. Lovely place to stay in a fabulous location. We had a superior balcony sea view room which was well worth the extra cost. The food is good, but limited choice, no A La Carte. No bread rolls either with Starters, which would have been nice. The food was good, but vegetables were under cooked for our liking. Good choice at breakfast.

Really lovely holiday let in the best location- close to everything but blissfully quiet! Just a 5 minute walk to the town and sea in swanage. Gorgeous old stone cottage for the authentic purbeck experience. We had some rainy days but the cottage had everything we needed for chill out days. Lovely host who was incredibly helpful and responsive. We will definitely go back to this home from home.
