Comfortably furnished with cosy seating,  Smart TV and wood burner, providing a lovely central focus for the room in cold weather.

Very well equipped and comfortable. Location excellent for exploring Purbeck. Five minutes walk to the outstanding Square and Compass pub and just ten minutes from a very good playground for younger children. Wonderful garden at the cottage that gets the sun all day.

Seaview was a really cosy cottage, with views of the sea from the huge garden. Plenty of seating, and pretty flowerbeds. The beds were very comfortable, and plenty of seating in the lounge. The village was peaceful, with a pub just a 5 minute walk away. Plenty of places to visit a short drive away. A little treat was the local 'Honest Box' cake sheRead mored sales, just 2 doors away! We will definitely return. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Seaview. The house was warm, clean, well equipped and there were lovely views of the sea in the distance. The garden was well tended although some of the bushes could do with cutting back to make a lovely view of the sea even lovelier! All in all, we had a superb holiday here and would happily make a return visit.

We had a wonderful stay at Seaview Cottage. Quality furnishings and beds. Really comfy. Garden was exceptional. Banjo our cairn loved it and spent 90% of his day in garden and watching the blackbirds. We have had many holidays in Dorset and this is our favourite. We have booked to return in September. Swanage was a real find for us and Corfe CastleRead more and Wareham too. We found shops in Swanage and Wareham and a takeaway chinese. Loved Worth Matravers and the sea views. Thankyou Honor. Hide
