Beautiful home!

We had a lovely stay at Caroline's home and found the location to be very convenient. The check in was easy and the cottage was ready for relaxation and/or sleep on arrival. Information was provided via email and written when we arrived..

Okay base for Isle of Purbeck stay

Property is well described and well kitted out with everything you need. The bathroom does suffer with condensation issues and parking outside the property is a lottery so once parked we didn’t use the car all week and used the very good bus service instead to get around. Not sure we’d visit Swanage again as not our type of holiday destination but would definitely go back to surrounding areas

Why they chose this property

A Grade II listed 17th Century compact cottage with unique charm and original features especially the beams in the master bedroom.

The cottage dates back to the Georgian period and retains many original features. The staircase to the upper floor is steeper than modern homes and in keeping with the period.

It is situated in the oldest part of Swanage within walking distance to local amenities, minutes to the town centre and seafront.
