East View Cottage in Swanage is highly praised for its excellent location, comfort, and dog-friendly amenities. Guests appreciate the quiet setting, beautiful walks, and thoughtful touches for pets. Some minor issues with parking and lack of Wi-Fi are noted, but overall, the cottage offers a homely and well-equipped retreat.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to accurately assess the cleanliness of the property, as no specific comments regarding cleanliness were provided by the guests.

We have just returned home from the cottage after spending Christmas there for the second year running, and again it did not disappoint the cottage was decorated for Christmas it had everything we needed and more. We feel so at home when there with cosy evenings by the log burner playing games enjoying family time as the kids can't be on technology as no wifi 😀 which is a bonus. We highly recommend east view it is a perfect location if you enjoy a nice peaceful break in the countryside. Its only a 5 minute drive from swanage where there is a stunning beach for long walks and all the shops you would need also some great fish and chips or can can simply have plenty of walks near the cottage and cook in the well equipped kitchen. We will definitely be back
