Reviews

Lovely location for visiting area. The cottage was exceptional in all aspects

Mr M,

This accommodation was exceptional in terms of location, views to the rear of the property, the quality of the furnishings and equipment, and the friendly helpful assistance of the owner.

Miss L,

We stayed at The Brackens for 5 days in October. The house was lovely. It had everything you could need. It's well situated between Corfe Castle and Swanage, just 5 minutes each way. Would highly recommend

Mr H,

We had a lovely stay at the Brackens and as soon as you enter feels like home from home. The kitchen is a good social space with everything available to hand which leads out to a great outdoor space weather dependant. An overall good find. .

Mrs P,

Fantastic place. Great cleanliness and a lovely welcome pack. What a fantastic week we had.

Mrs H,

The Brackens was a lovely place to stay. We were an extended family of six: My wife and I, our son, our daughter and son-in-law, and their 3 month old baby. The living accommodation was spacious, allowing us our own space when needed. The house was clean and well equipped. The garden was beautiful. The location gave us easy access to all of Purbeck. Highly recommended.

Mr J,

Fabulous holiday in a very well equipped and immaculately clean and decorated holiday home with everything we look for plus more. We stayed for a week with our grown up daughters and their partners. There is plenty of room to spread out or sit together. We enjoyed using the gas barbecue and bar area. We really appreciated the added extras on arrival milk, fresh bread and cream buns from the bakery, plus the home has many more extra bits eg a fully equipped kitchen with, condiments, oil, tea and coffee, foil, grease proof paper etc, games and books, plenty of toiletries etc. None of us had anything negative to say. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Mrs L,

Very enjoyable,beautiful views,getting onto main road tricky

Mr J,

Wonderful place beautiful decor everything you need and more.home comforts and lovely cakes bread and milk on arrival very nice would highly recommend

Mrs S,

Beautiful home which was very well presented and comfortable, with everything you would need from cling film, plentiful utensils, to cotton buds and towels galore. Having frequented properties that lack the items that go that extra mile to enhance your stay makes this property even more comfortable. Our mum has dementia and this was perfect with the open plan layout and view from kitchen into downstairs bedroom. The garden is peaceful with amazing views. Would highly recommend this property, surrounding area and local bakery. Welcome treats, including cream buns, where prefect.

Miss S,

The property is exceptional . comfortable and spotlessly clean .

Mr T,

A fantastic place to stay. The owner has thought of everything and we really appreciated the extra touches such as bread and milk already there when we arrived. Highly recommend.

Ms D,

The getting out onto the main road did prove a bit difficult.

Mr W,

The Brakens is a lovely home away from home. The kitchen and entertainment area is fully equipped with all you need and a large double door fridge plus a large gas BBQ outside with a wonderful outdoor seating area. The house was immaculate when we arrived and beautifully decorated with all you need and more. A lovely touch from the owners when we arrived was a fresh loaf of bread and lemon cake from the bakery and fresh milk and butter in the fridge.

Mrs E,

The owners had thought of everything you could possibly need and a lovely touch of leaving us some milk, bread and cake as a welcome

Mrs B,

The Brackens has a real wow factor, from the entrance hall with its quirky oar handrail to the stunning dining kitchen which is any women’s dream, everything has been done to the highest standard. It has stunning views across the fields and hills and the garden would be a perfect place to spend summer evenings with its outdoor spaces. Would definitely return again!

Mr C,

Very well equipped, beds were very comfortable plus the garden was lovely with great views

Miss M,

It was a WOW factor as soon as we opened the front door ! The accommodation was to the highest quality throughout and there was everything needed. The had thought of everything. Loads of space, fantastic views and a great location. Would definitely recommend it and would like to thank the owner for allowing us to stay in such a wonderful property

Mr D,

We spent a lovely week at The Brackens in North Instow, Dorset, October 7-14 2023. The property was immaculate, both in cleanliness and decor. Fabulous kitchen/diner. Plenty of parking at the front. The garden is beautiful and well tended with wonderful countryside views. The very helpful owner lives nearby.

Mrs W,

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. A proper home from home. Very well equipped with lots of unexpected extras. We had the pleasure of bumping in to the owner, who is a lovely, helpful lady. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend The Brackens if you are looking for a peaceful, comfortable break.

Miss O,

Excellent property, really comfortable and perfect for our needs. We definitely plan to return.
