Really lovely comfortable and quiet cottage. There was a welcome food basket. Everything we needed to make our stay easy was there. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds. Space for clothes and bags, as well as a shoe rack and coat hooks. Sheltered outdoor space for those wet clothes days. [luckily we didn't need it]. Great having 2 bathrooms. Lots of bRead moreeautiful places within easy distance and didn't have to drive through Swanage to get to them. Bus 50 250 yrds along the lane takes you to Studland, ferry to Sandbanks, dropped off and ferry to Brownsea Island..brilliant. Also recommend the Pier Head [may be closed for Winter]. If I come this way again would look to return to stay. Hide

Fantastic stay we really enjoyed ourselves. Lovely barn with everything we needed and fantastic quiet location but close enough to walk into town and beach easily! Thank you for the tip about the park the children loved it! The garden with the lights was beautiful on a summer evening! Definitely recommend the open top bus to Sandbanks etc!

An absolutely beautiful barn/grain store conversion. Very well appointed throughout. Our party was multi generational and the layout of a downstairs bedroom and bathroom with a further two bedrooms and a shower room upstairs was perfect. We are already planning a return visit

The location of this property is perfect for access to the coast, lots to do on your doorstep. Although the barn could do with a little tlc as feels a bit unloved in certain ways.

This property was ideal for us. It was well laid out, clean and comfortable. We were two couples and an 18 month old child. The bedroom for children upstairs is suitable for young children but probably not large teenagers. The location has easy access to town and studland. It is very quiet location. We can highly recommend
