Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The location was fantastic, situated in old Swanage yet still only 5 mins from town and an excellent big co-op round the corner. Shopping for food with two teenagers without a car is always a worry but this was a dream. Communication etc was all excellent. The kitchen is large and bright but the sitting room is very small, so difficult for four adult sized people to fully relax in. Twin room was lovely but double bedroom very small. We booked very last minute and enjoyed our stay hugely. A beautiful part of the world, especially if you like walking.
