A great house for families. The open plan lounge / dining room was good to fit everyone in for playing games etc. The open fire added to the cosy environment. The kitchen was well equipped & again we could all sit together round the table. A good location for the beach & the shops

This was a lovely house, spacious, airy and spotlessly clean with a fabulous location, having the town and beach at the bottom of the road although if you have mobility difficulties you should be aware it is on a rather steep hill. Within easy reach of other lovely beaches and places to visit such as Corfe Castle and Durdle Door. We had a fantasticRead more family holiday with our children and grandchildren. We would highly recommend it as a holiday home. Hide
