The cottage was ideally located close to town and the beach. It had free parking on the street and we were able to park quite close to the house. The cottage had enough space for five us; two adults and three children. The kitchen was well equipped with most electrical appliances you would need, they also supplied tea towels, washing up liquid and Read morea few tablets for the dishwasher, there is also a washing machine. There were two bathrooms upstairs. The beds were comfortable to sleep in. We were left instructions for the house and equipment and other local information including walks, etc. overall it is a lovely cottage in a good location close to Swanage. Hide

In an excellent location, easy walking distance to Swanage town centre. House needs a deep clean. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. Weve spoken to the owner about the issue and this has now been resolved

The welcome pack was very appreciated! What a lovely touch. Provided towels and bed linen were 4* hotel standard. This property is well located just a 5 minute walk to central Swanage. There's a pub and a Spar shop very close by. Well equipped spacious kitchen with dishwasher , washing machine - even a coffee machine! The lounge diner is veryRead more comfortable with lovely sofas. Even our dog loved it! One issue is the on street parking; it's very busy, with spaces at a premium. However, just a very short walk away (1-2 mins)there's plenty of free spaces all day. Hide

We found the cottage generally clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. It's location is excellent, within walking distance of local amenities. Although there were vehicles parked outside the property, we managed to park our car near to the house during our stay.

Comfortable cottage in a good location, near the town and beach but just far enough away. Most impressed with Swanage, lots of pubs (Black Swans food was excellent and well priced) Restaurants, lovely walks all round, a good selection of shops, a beach perfect for kids (shallow) and lots of kids entertainment.
