  We are a family of 6 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs and the venue was just perfect for us!

  It has all the modern amenities whilst retaining original features of the farmhouse. Very beautiful, spacious and well equipped kitchen/dining area so we could cook each night with the option of aga or cooker and a good-sized utility with 2nd fridge/freezer so we could stock up. Lovely beaches within 30 minutes so the dogs could run and for us to do some fossil hunting which proved successful!. Even though the weather was awful for our stay, it made it all the better to come back to a cosy living room with the log fire burning whilst we watched a film! The local shop was well stocked and just a 2 minute walk from the farmhouse so we could get eggs and sausages for breakfast plus there was a Lidl and big Tesco 10 minute's drive away. Unfortunately, the pub closed early most days so we did not get a chance to visit. The night before we returned home, we ordered from Dominos Pizza which is only couple miles away and the food arrived very quickly and very hot. The owners are next door and were very friendly, extremely accommodating and helpful pre visit and during and we found their digital guidebook and inhouse guides provided us with all the information we needed. We highly recommend and plan to return in the future.

  I choose Church Farmhouse, after a year’s delay, to spend a special birthday with my family.

  From the moment we arrived , we knew the choice was a good one. The family kitchen was warm and welcoming, well stocked with utensils and a perfect window seat my granddaughter took residence in. The bedrooms were roomy, full of character with lovely uneven floors. The snug priced very popular with the grandchildren who could play games and watch TV away from the adults! An amazing real fireplace, which we lit whilst playing games in the evening, took centre stage in the spacious lounge. Surrounded by wonderful countryside, Winsham is close to the sea, whilst only being 3 miles from a main supermarket. Trevor and Deborah, the owners, live next door and were friendly and readily available should you need them. Sadly, we were unable to complete our weeks stay as the virus struck our family and , with heavy hearts, we returned home. But the memories made with my family we’re very special. Hopefully we can return to this special cottage, to complete our holiday!

  This was our second stay at Swandown and this is our first review.

  Our family of 4 (we have twin boys aged 11) love coming here, the standard of the lodges are fantastic (we have stayed at lodges 9 and 14) everything you need is at hand in the kitchen, the living areas are very comortable and have plenty of space and the outdoor areas are lovely too. The staff are very welcoming, great to deal with and friendly. The supermarkets are a 10 minute drive, the local pub a 5 minute walk (and has fantastic views from the garden) and the local golf club (all welcome) is a 5 minute drive, both are great for eating out. The likes of Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Burnham, Weymouth & Teignmouth are reachable in an hour and Minehead, Torquay and Bournemouth around 90 mins so perfectly located for day trips out. This is one of our favourites and we will definately be returning.

  I usually don’t write reviews but i absolutely had to for this place.

  We absolutely loved our stay at Swandown, we stayed in lodge number 9 which had the most amazing views. We got very lucky with the weather it was so warm, it was really nice to be able to relax outside in the jacuzzi. I do miss the Jacuzzi now I’m home. Everywhere was really clean and everything as they show it in the photos. You’re really close to a Tesco and Lidl so it’s really convenient for the weekly shop. I really enjoyed the swimming pool on the site as you can book it and you can get the pool to yourselves for 40 minutes which was so nice. It really was so peaceful there and I would definitely consider going back. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about going

  We had a fantastic stay at Church Farmhouse.

  The cottage is warm, comfortable, quirky, beautifully maintained throughout and absolutely sparkly clean. It really exceeded my expectations. Comfy beds, a well-stocked kitchen / pantry, lovely views - I could go on. Owners Trevor and Deborah went out of their way to make us feel welcome, with personal touches like a homemade cake, card and flowers to greet us on arrival, but they were never intrusive and the cottage feels totally private while you're inside - the balance was perfect. We also had some specific requests before we arrived (we were holding a family get together with various different households arriving on different days / at different times) and Deborah couldn't have been more accommodating. Thanks so much for a terrific stay.
