Perfect house for us with different generations and 2 dogs. Plenty of space to be together or in a quiet space alone. We enjoyed the library sitting room especially on a. miserable day when we lit the fire. I imagine it would be a fantastic house during the summer if the weather co-operated.

The website said that cottage owners are not expected to provide any self catering supplies, but might. So I took everything.

My family loved the spaces and the pool table (child's cue provided). We loved the views and the owls. We watched the sun rise from our bedroom and sat outside on the decking for coffee in November - the garden has bbq and seating for the summer. We had local friends visit and they were all blown away by the house. One is even considering it for their family holiday next year. Hide

Our third Summer stay at this lovely property. It is ideal for a multi generational family, plenty of space and lots of facilities, including games room with pool table.

The Purbeck breezer bus stops are nearby which can take you either into Swanage or Bournemouth. So much to do and see in the area and Homelands is the perfect base. Hide

We had a lovely family holiday based at Homelands. The views are spectacular and we like how dog friendly it is ( Teddy our cavapoo enjoyed himself enormously ) The large TV room , modern walk in showers and Edwardian features are all great., and added to our enjoyment. This is probably our 10th stay in Studland, and we very much hope to be back.
