We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Fishermans Cottage. It was even more cosy and comfortable than we remembered. There were plenty of logs for the whole fortnight.

Lovely cottage, bright, clean and homely. Comfy beds, kitchen well equipped. Enclosed garden, nice seating area. Glimpses of the sea. Extremely quiet. Great location, for walking directly from the house, 10 minute drive to Swanage and Corfe Castle, 20 minutes to Studland beach.

Wonderful stay thank you! We loved how the children had been considered- with the box of toys and books etc. Excellent garden (perhaps some lighting for the nights would be a nice touch?). Brilliant washing facilities and well equipped kitchen (although a larger non stick frying pan could be useful?). We noticed the top middle step leading down theRead more front door was a little loose so might need fixing. The village is delightful and the sea view is something we are missing already. Again, thank you. Hide
