Everything in the house exceeded our expectations and we were extremely comfortable. Holly Blue is clean, bright with excellent facilities including a really useful private parking space. We followed the information pack and walked from the house on the Priests way to the dinosaur footprints and Dancing Ledge, caught the steam train to Corfe CastRead morele and had two great meals at the dog friendly Black Swan. The road is very quiet with a great fish and chip shop two minutes away at the end of the road. We had a great week and would recommend Holly Blue, Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck as a great holiday destination. Hide

Everything was lovely. It was obvious that this property is a home rather than just a holiday rental. The house was warm, comfortable and very well-equipped. It was stylish without being fussy and nicely decorated for Christmas. It is invaluable to have a parking space.

We thoroughly recommend Holly Blue. It was in a lovely quiet location (with a great chippie five minutes walk away!), five minute drive to the beach at Swanage, and the kitchen/diner was superb and so well equipped. Masses of crockery and cutlery which was very welcome. Beds very comfortable and really good to have an en-suite to each bedroom.

The cottage was excellent with absolutely everything you could think of needing in the kitchen; it was a real home from home. Would definitely return again.

Great house, lovely and clean. Everything we needed was there, even for our dog. There was plenty of off-Road parking all the time as well as the allocated parking space. I would definitely use this house again, best house weve ever rented. We had an amazing time.

We have stayed at Holly Blue twice now and both times have had a lovely stay. I have several boxes that need ticks when I book a holiday. A King size bed, two bathrooms, a garden for our westie and parking on site. Holly Blue ticks all the boxes. It is great.

We found the property very comfortable and met our needs very well. It was clean and well equipped and in a very quite location. The off road parking was a bonus. A pleasant location. A fish shop and a convenience store just down the road was useful.
