Good space for a large group. Wonderful situation with views and a big child ( and dog) friendly garden. Access is unusual but once mastered provides a classic hideaway location

Staycation with the extended family, with four kids. Location is great with views over the fields and Swanage. Snug room was great for the kids, with the adults having a separate lounge. Internet was a bit intermittent for evening streaming though but managed. Great for a weeks family stay.
