Great communication and extremely helpful host. Good choice of bedrooms and large area for parking at the front of the property which was ideal not having to worry about parking on the road. Fabulous location, within walking distance to lovely restaurants (really enjoyed Rick Stein’s and Lazy Jack’s) and around the corner to the chain link ferry which takes you to stunning Studland and drive onto Swanage.We were very lucky to have amazing weather so having a garden to sit in at the property, after a day out enjoying the area, was a real plus.

We had a wonderful time here, and the kids were thrilled too. The location is fantastic; we didn't even need to start the car during our entire stay. Communication with the owner was excellent.I highly recommend it and will definitely be back in the future.

We stayed as a family with two young children and we had a great time. The location is excellent as it is quiet and very short walk to the beach, bus stops and ferry. Great communication with host, house as described.
