Had a lovely stay at Samphire for 3 nights. The house was very well equipped with everything we could have needed. It was beautifully decorated and the location was great - close to Swanage town centre and with a choice of shops very close by. All in all a really lovely property.

Lovely cottage and very comfortable. Easy walk into town avoiding the high street as the path up from the cottage is very steep. Dog walking just a short walk away across the railway line. The town is very dog friendly. On street parking was not a problem but could be in high season.
