  : This is a really lovely quaint little cottage, situated in a great location only a 15-20 minute walk down to the seafront/town centre - beautiful views out of the window, lovely private garden to relax in. Comfy beds, kitchen facilities are all good (oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, big fridge and drinks fridge) Clean bathroom, the shower is extremely powerful, but just make sure you get the temperature right before you get in as it can get quite hot!
  : Not so much a negative but just something to definitely be aware of (it does mention in the description) - all the stairs are very steep, especially the set up to the attic room, and not suitable for anyone with mobility issues (especially as the toilet is downstairs so if you need it during the night it wouldnt be ideal) Even our dog with little legs could only get up them and not down! - but overall we had nothing to complain about!

Very Poor

  : The location of the property was ok but the front door is located onto a very busy main road so not so good for puppies. The steps up to the garden were not very pleasant and our puppy was too afraid to use them. The interior of the cottage was dated and worn out. The sofa was even ripped open. It was not clean either. Dead spiders, flies, cobwebs and hanging loose wiring not exactly dog friendly or welcoming..
  : As above

  : We stayed over Christmas and the property was warm and cosy throughout. Beds were very comfortable and it was easy to get a good night's sleep. The main bedroom was at the back of the house with no noise - lovely and peaceful. There was a good quality TV (once we had mastered the instructions which were a little outdated) and although we had a few problems, the owner was extremely helpful in getting them sorted out. There were 4 adults, 1 child and 1 dog staying and the cooking facilities were fine for producing a Christmas meal for all of us. The property is just under a mile from the beach - so a 20 minute walk or an hourly bus service from just outside the door. Pub and chip shop and convenience store all close by. Swanage is a delightful town and the walking on the Isle of Purbeck is, in my opinion, some of the best in the country.
  : Food storage space, especially fridge space, was a little limited in the kitchen. The guest instructions need re-writing to include all the technology changes that have taken place since they were last written
