    The property is in a good location for visiting the beach or the central village. It is a short walk to town for all the shops and restaurants. The view from the property is lovely and overall the property is in a very quiet and peaceful location. The park across the road is great for kids, walks and picnics, the view from the top of the hill is spectacular. The property is situated on the top of a hill so the walk is steep but there are lots of benches on the way to stop and take in the view. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this property.

    Lovely, well-maintained and well-equipped property. Great location really convenient for the town and the beach (albeit via a steep hill but this is Swanage!). 2 parking spaces. Especially loved the water pressure in the shower. The kitchen only has a small undercounter fridge/freezer, but not a big issue if you know about it in advance.Overall, a lovely holiday, good comms and I'd recommend the property.

    We love Swanage and have stayed at an adjacent property many times. Just one thing about the listing. You list two parking spaces but the owner says there is only one available. Fortunately we were allowed to use both otherwise it would have been awkward

    Very nice and cosy cottage. Nicely furnished, everything you need is there. My only tiny concern was about the kitchen appliances. The pots, pans and the kettle seemed very old but still ok to be used. The cottage is close to the town centre and the beach, great location!
