The cottage is cute and in a lovely rural location; an easy distance from Swanage with its bars and restaurant.
The cottage itself was basic and was an okay base but with a few tweaks, could be so much better.
To begin with, I didn’t receive any access instructions and spend a few stressful hours at the start of my stay trying to contact the host; I was in a telephone loop! On finally getting in, there was no instructions left by the host apart from an A4 sheet which asked that the property be left in a clean and tidy manner and to ask for more cleaning products if needed!
The sofa was uncomfortable as was the bed. The kettle needed descaling, and the shower attachment let out either very hot or very cold water! The wood burner (for which fuel was not provided), burned up the wood but provided little heat. The heating, for which you pay as an extra,
did little to actually heat the cottage.
So whilst the place looked nice, it wasn’t the most comfortable of stays. However, if you
don’t intend to spend much time there, it’s a good
location to explore the local sights, which were awesome.
