A very comfortable, compact cottage, a short walk from the sea front and the town centre. We had an enjoyable holiday with lots of good walks, and excellent fish and chips!

A absolutely perfect location! Brilliant for anyone attending the Swanage Folk Festival. We tried a wide selection of eating establishments which were all excellent! The Pig & Salt restaurant is a particular favourite. The apartment has everything we would have possibly required. It was a nice touch to have the welcoming pack with fresh essentials,Read more loads of pluses. Nice quiet road, a few footsteps from the sea. We had a VW Golf that fitted comfortably in the garage. We didnt really need the car as everything is on the doorstep. Would definitely return for another visit. Hide

Lovely cottage with everything you need. This was our 3rd stay at Cutter Cottage! Perfectly located for town centre and beach right on the doorstep. Garage is tight but I managed to fit an Astra estate with tow bar in and close the door.

Good location. Make sure you come in a small car to use the garage, as parking is expensive. Cottage is well provisioned and layout is good. Bathroom is small. Nice base to explore the area. Well positioned to access local eateries.

We have stayed at Cutter on numerous occasions and have already booked to return in October. It was nice to see the bathroom had been refreshed and new stools in the kitchen. It is a lovely cottage and would highly recommend it.

Cutter cottage is a very good location . A couple of minutes from the sea and plenty of shops and pubs on your doorstep. The cottage is nicely decorated and facilities are good and furniture comfortable. Also patio area accessed from upstairs is a lovely suntrap. One error was the plug point behind the TV was not working and so we had to turn offRead more a table lamp and plug TV cable into the trailing socket where lamp had been. Garage also very much appreciated and we did manage to fit our longish car into.it. Overall a very good cottage and experience. Hide

A charming property in a very good location, just yards from the sea, shops and an excellent fish and chip shop - you can look out of the front door to see if there's a queue! The Ship Inn is next door but one and there are other pubs in the locality so some nights you can hear noisy revellers into the early hours. It didn't really bother me. The Read morekey safe is by the back door which is up some rather deep stone steps and along the paved patio area. Once inside the cottage you'll find the front door key and when going out walking it's much easier to use the front door. The paved patio area is a real sun trap all morning and until mid afternoon and surprisingly peaceful considering the proximity of the Ship Inn. The kitchen is well equipped with easy to use microwave and cooker. However the baking trays in the oven looked very unappetizing and the hob well used. Two sofas in the open plan living area . The TV is a little small . But all in all it's a pleasant place to sit and relax. The bedrooms are cosy, beds clean and comfortable and there are nice white towels. There are not wardrobes as such but a rail with hangers high up in the airing cupboard in the main bedroom and just two hooks on the back of the door in the other bedroom. The bathroom is well appointed with an excellent shower over the P shaped bath. There is a garage only suitable for a small car but this is a useful storage space for other items you don't need to take into the cottage. Would I stay there again? Yes. Hide
