We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Seaview. The house was warm, clean, well equipped and there were lovely views of the sea in the distance. The garden was well tended although some of the bushes could do with cutting back to make a lovely view of the sea even lovelier! All in all, we had a superb holiday here and would happily make a return visit.

We had a wonderful stay at Seaview Cottage. Quality furnishings and beds. Really comfy. Garden was exceptional. Banjo our cairn loved it and spent 90% of his day in garden and watching the blackbirds. We have had many holidays in Dorset and this is our favourite. We have booked to return in September. Swanage was a real find for us and Corfe CastleRead more and Wareham too. We found shops in Swanage and Wareham and a takeaway chinese. Loved Worth Matravers and the sea views. Thankyou Honor. Hide
