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.

Cottage was well equipped with good facilities. Downside for us was that the road did get quite busy at rush hour traffic and we were disturbed by traffic noise very early in the morning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Steam Whistle cottage. It was so comfortable and roomy with the added bonus of a lovely private garden. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. It was great having a downstairs toilet too. The location is perfect and close to everything.

When you go to a lovely place like Swanage, you need lovely accommodation. Steam Whistle fits the bill perfectly! Not only can you hear the steam whistle and see the steam, but it's within a few minutes walk of the heritage station and steam line. Groceries, eating out or the beach are all a short walk away. An excellent standard of accommodation wRead morehich contributed in a large way to a relaxing week. The owner has also thoughtfully provided dog bowls and a selection of dog toys - unfortunately Bonnie the cat was unimpressed! But she did love going out in the enclosed garden, something she is unable to do back home, so she had a good holiday too. Pet owners please note that the garden has 6'/1.8m walls on all sides except one, which has a low gate leading to the front. Hide
