Super house, good facilities and very well stocked . Lovely garden - ideal for children. Close to town and seafront, but visitors should be aware of steepish hill. Upside of that are the beautiful sea views.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the house, the facilities, and the well-stocked kitchen. It’s great to hear the garden was such a hit with the children too.
We’re pleased you appreciated the location and, of course, the beautiful sea views. As you mention, the walk back from town is a little uphill, but we hope the views at the top make it worthwhile!
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Our second time in this house. Just as good as the first time. Super house in great location. Children love the huge garden. Adults love the huge kitchen. Very close to the town but incredibly quiet. Everything you need and more. Great hosts who gave clear instructions and great communications. Thank you very much and we hope to stay again.

Thank you so much for coming back and for your lovely review! It was a pleasure having you stay with us again, and we’re delighted you enjoyed your time here. We’d love to welcome you back for a third visit! 😊
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!
We had a fantastic stay in this house, which suited our family perfectly. 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!
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!
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.
