Our first trip to Swanage and we enjoyed our stay at Mary's Corner. It had everything we needed. Good public transport links, especially for those with bus passes and National Trust membership! Lovely view from this large flat and good value for money. If we return to Swanage then we will be returning to this flat. Thank you.

Thank you for making such a lovely home and for letting it out. The lounge and the view were fabulous and it made for a very comfy stay. The parking right outside the door. A modern well equipped kitchen and large rooms with high ceikings. I would recommend no 6.

Great location and very comfortable beds, however the twin beds were only ok for children and would be far too small for adults. Kitchen table very cramped for 4 people and fridge far too small with broken freezer door. Dishwasher did not wash properly as tablet drawer broken and no instruction manual available for induction hob. Fortunately theRead more superb property manager attended promptly and solved the problem so we could cook ! Overall some investment and updating would make a huge difference to what could be a lovely property. If this attention was given would not hesitate to recommend to others, as it stands it is hard to do so. Hide

The flat 6. is of a very poor standard of decoration throughout. I am not exaggerating. Rust stains from radiators on carpets, in every room all carpets are soiled. We have been staying in rental properties for many years , and this is the worst standard we have ever experienced. The reception area is shabby, all rooms have not been decorated inRead more many years. The double bed is basically broken. Hide

The bedrooms were large and comfortable and there was a lovely view overlooking the bay from the living room. The dining table in the kitchen is fine for 2 people but would be a very tight squeeze for 4. The location was very convenient to walk into town. There was easy off-street parking.

Apartment had great views and was very near the shops, bars and restaurants, but was at the top of a very steep hill - if you have any sort of mobility issues then this apartment is not for you.

A well presented and well equipped property. Everything you need was included. Parking is great and just a short walk down the hill to the town centre with lots of great shops, pubs and restaurants. Great for families as the second room had two beds and a pull out plus travel cot. Lots of DVDs and games available if the weather isnt too good.

The flat was larger than we had expected and very nicely presented throughout. The two bedrooms were large and had ample storage space. The twin room included a travel cot and children's toys. The flat has a large DVD selection and lots of family-friendly board games. The view from the living room is gorgeous and we were literally 2 minutes from thRead moree centre of town. Hide

Location is great, super quiet but close to ammenities. Note it is a quite steep road, so it will take your breath to get home. The kitchen has everything you may need for a few days stay, dinning area a bit too small for a family of four. Nice detail the bisquits, milk and tea, I missed sugar though In the bathroom, the shower is not great, Read morewaterflow is quite poor and towel holders are about to come off their bolts, not having a socket to plug electric toothbrushes is also not convenient. Just one toilet roll for four people x 3 nights was a bit shocking. Bedrooms are spacious and confy, nothing bad to say about them, same as the living area. The property is lovely but it's clear that needs at the very least a coat of paint and carpets need a deep clean. Overall a pleaseant experience with just a few missing points that would make this a 5 stars review Hide
