Steam Whistle Cottage is a very clean, well presented cottage with every facility required to have a great holiday. Location is perfect, with off road parking a bonus being so close to the centre of town and beach. An ideal property to visit Swanage.

Steam Whistle Cottage is perfectly located a few minutes walk from Swanage seafront. The house and garden are very well designed and looked after. We had a great stay there and would highly recommend as a great base to explore Dorset.

This lovely property lives up to its name - you get to hear the steam engine whistles, and you can see the steam trains from the garden. We had a number of guests over 3 weeks - and everyone said how comfortable and handy the house is for everything. The closeness of the co-op and bus station is a real bonus

Perfect family get together to celebrate my sons 30th, a short walk to the beach for our 3 year old granddaughter and a great base to explore from.

This property is in a very good location, close to the town centre and amenities. We found the house was well-equipped, warm, and comfortable. We particularly liked the rear kitchen extension which was bright and modern. Would happily recommend this property.

Lovely location, Swanage is nice. The house had very tight off road parking even for one car. The kitchen and dining room is lovely and we spent most of our time there. The bedrooms are all spacious with adequate wardrobes but could do with perhaps a chest of draws in both. The bunk beds were fine but the lower of the two very tight for our 3 year Read moreold to get in and out of. The location is very close to a large Co op which is next to the Swanage Railway whicg we used to visit Corfe Castle. Swanage itself was lovely, lots of shops and arcades to keep the children amused when the weather turned. The property at steam whistle was clean and i would recommend and happily stay they again.

The accommodation was one of the best we have stayed in, it was clean, modern, well equipped, and very close to town and beach. Its position was great to get to local attractions. Would certainly use again if in the area.

A great comfortable house, good location and parking, which is not always available in Swanage. The recent extension to the kitchen with dining area and bi-fold doors to the enclosed rear garden, is a real asset to this property. A great holiday house, we've rebooked for next year and look forward to our return.
