A very spacious house with some nice views. The furniture was of a very good standard and the kitchen was well equipped. The hill may put some people off but we found it ok. A great central location.

Amazing location, very close to the town and beach, and lovely clean spacious house with comfy beds, lots of cooking equipment and plentiful amounts of crockery and cutlery which is unusual for a rental property.

The house was clean and well-equipped, and perfect for our group of two families on holiday together. The location was brilliant, so close to the centre of Swanage. Parking outside was a problem but we were able to find parking on nearby streets, within just a minute or 2 walk from the house.

Be aware that this house is on a very steep hill with a lot of traffic during the day and parking is a nightmare. Beds comfortable.
