Great cottage full of character ,very nice patio and closed garden, located in amongst other old cottages down stone tracks could be a problem if your car did not have very high ground clearance, parking by house tight, I have a Audi Q5 and found it ok.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage and look forward to another visit.My wife missed internet but not a problem for me or the dog.Visitors might walk down the lane to the house to check out parking and turning their car but we managed.

Lovely location with excellent views over Swanage. Good walking from the door. Nice and peaceful. Cottage well equipped, very comfy bed. Would benefit from a mop for pet owners, a washing line in the garden to avoid over using the dryer. The lounge and garden very relaxing. The cottage was a bit dusty but the weather was very dry and there was dust coatings on the cars and roads. We had no problem negotiating the lane and narrow driveway. We recommend Dorset to visit with the beautiful coastline. Overall we really liked this cottage and would recommend a visit. Thankyou
