It was a delightful property set in a lovely private garden very close to all the amenities like the village shop and pubs. Also a very good bus service close by. Everything you could possibly need for your holiday stay was included in the cottage. The beds were extremely comfortable with lovely sheets and duvet covers. We were extremely lucky with the weather too and spent hours on the beach which was within walking diistance. The only complaint I had was that we could not stay longer😊!

Thank you for your review Sally. We're so glad that you had a lovely time.
We had an excellent weeks holiday at Mimsoa cottage! The location with young kids was amazing- the beach on the doorstep, a local shop and a few pubs!
The cottage itself it fully equipped with everything you need with young children! Which made the holiday so much more relaxing and stress free!
We loved it that much we’ll be back!

the best holiday EVER! By Freddy Parker
I love coming to my Granny and Grandads holiday home it is clean and is based in an amazing location. I love going to swanage and i love crabbing at the beach with my brother, sister and dad. I come here around 3 times a year and there are always new things to see and do. The fun is endless. I recommend this place for people who want to get away from busy smelly places and for people who love walks and going to famous castles

Our holiday at Mimosa Cottage
Fantastic! We have recently stayed in your cottage and had a wonderful time! It had everything we needed and was so child friendly with the open plan space, we have a 3 year old and a nearly walking 14 month old so lots of space for them! The cottage was beautiful and so were the gardens. We were so sad to leave! 10 out of 10 from us! Thank you!
