It was beautifully presented, very clean and in a great location. Our only note to others is that it’s up a very steep hill, which might not suit everyone. I’d be delighted to go back next year! ##### Emma-Christine V. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica B. 8 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house Beautiful house which was perfect for our multi generational group (parents, grandma and 2 kids age 4 and 7). A gorgeous house, thoughtfully and lovingly put together. Lots of board games and other toys that the kids enjoyed. Great quality trampoline provided hours of fun. Lovely back garden with a great view. Short walking distance to town - doable for little or older legs (noting quite a steep hill on the way home for anyone who might find it difficult). Excellent kitchen with large high quality cooker and very well appointed kitchen. Communication with hosts very smooth from start to finish. Thank you! ##### Jessica B. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennie C. 31 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well equipped, comfortable house The house was clean and the kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of utensils and a very efficient dishwasher. The bedrooms were all pristine, so were the bathrooms. We managed the very steep hill to this property but often resorted to using the car to and from the beach. Our one disappointment was no fault of the property owner - VRBO had mistakenly listed a hot tub here, VRBO have admitted this was a fault on their part but it unfortunately remained in the description for all the time we were there. POORLY MANAGED by VRBO, but I repeat, it’s not the fault of the owners who were in close and prompt communication with us about any small points we had during our stay. We love Swanage and would happily stay in this property again. ##### Jennie C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo B. 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was a great size for us and our 4 children. There was lots of space and the garden was huge! There was a well equipped kitchen which was an asset. Within a short walk from the main town, shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Jo B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron R. 2 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Swanage 2023 The property was excellent. Electric car charger very much appreciated since we took 2 electric cars. Would definitely go again. ##### Ron R.
