Super Easter Weekend Stay - April 2023
Super long Easter weekend stay for 6 of us including kids, parents, and grand-mothers. Property was lovely and roomy, plenty of room for everyone. Bedrooms were spacious very well equipped, with comfortable beds. Kitchen was excellently equipped. The garden was beautifully maintained with deckchairs and comfortable wicker chairs and leg rests so we could all enjoy the sunshine. There was a large charcoal BBQ available, which we used to prepare a Saturday evening feast. With only 5 mins walk to the beach, and 15 mins walk into Swanage town with all the amusements, shops and restaurants, it means that everything was accessible for all - young and old. Julia, the hostess, was highly communicative, provided some great restaurant recommendations, and made sure everything we needed was available. A fabulous locations also meant we could walk directly up to the Old Harry Rocks in just over an hour, getting back in time for a tasty breakfast. Solid WiFi and a good sized TV also meant a the kids (and Adults) could relax for some downtime between physical activities. Wholeheartedly recommended - and we would certainly frequent again. Thanks!

4 Day Break
Thank you for a lovely stay. Lovely big rooms, lovely garden, well equipped kitchen. Super to have a bathroom upstairs and downstairs. Off street parking was also really helpful. Two minute walk to the beach was as added bonus. All in all a great break away. Thank you.

AMAZING PROPERTY
Everything about this property is just majestic. The location could not have been better. 10 second walk and you’re at the beach and the sea can also be seen from the room upstairs. Just incredible. So many little extras that the wonderful hosts leaves for the guests really helps make it an unforgettable experience. We had all age ranges in the family and every single person adored the stay! We hadn’t even checked out and were already planning the next visit 😁
