You will remember it

We booked in for a 15 day stay over Christmas/new year and it was all seamless with Tim, no issues, he met me at house as arranged and gave me a thorough tour and explanation of the house etc. The place is unique, it is situated in a beautiful old village with fantastic scenery around, but yet it had modern facilities as well. The house has an old section which you enter into with lounge and bedrooms and a modern section with lounge kitchen and bathrooms and laundry facilities. A nice entry way room has room for coats and muddy boots. Then you enter old living room / dining room with wood burner stove very cozy for after dinner. The living room gives you access to 3 modernized bedrooms. The stairs are old spiral staircases after a few times up and down you get the hang of it. One large double bedroom, one bedroom with two large twins or cozy double and top floor bedroom double bed. Very comfortable for two couples and two singles. Old section leads to new part of house, hallway has first bathroom with shower bath combo and a separate toilet room. Entering next area a galley kitchen, very well stocked with equipment etc. on one level and living room above this, all modern. Off living room another bathroom with rain shower / bath combo and toilet. Separate room with laundry facilities.with a large deep freeze unit. Nice patio outside living room for warmer dates. Good Wi-Fi and TV in both lounges, high end channel selection. To sum up this place is great with no issues and in a fantastic part of the county, with beautiful walks right on the doorstep. 200 metres up the hill is the historic Square and Compass pub, what more could you want. Thanks Tim.

Sam's house is a beautiful country getaway in the heart of Worth Matravers. The views are amazing, the walks on the doorstep are scenic and (potentially) nice and long, while the walk to the pub laughably short. Comfy beds, a great kitchen and lovely conservatories and gardens. Five stars.

Simply amazing. Sam was extremely helpful before, during and after our stay. This is a beautiful part of the world and the house is perfectly positioned to take in the amazing village and views. The pub is a must for all those who enjoy them and I'd also suggest a visit to the tea rooms for a homemade pasty. Go and you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful home in stunning location and Sam was very quick to respond and easy to deal with.

Amazing place. Really lovely, great views, great house, clean, tidy, close to everything, what more could you ask for. We will be coming back next year for sure. 10/10

This place is simply beautiful and so relaxing. Well worth a visit. With friends we enjoyed the location and the local pub. Very special memories.

Perfect house, Perfect location, Perfect holiday. Its a must stay! there is so much to do around the area.

Sam's place is ideal for a restful weekend with family or friends and perfectly located for scenic walks and to enjoy the countryside. The kitchen is fantastic with loads of space for everyone to sit round the fire and views out to the garden and the sea! We loved it and will certainly book again :)

Very stylish place well furnished and decorated with great views. Beautifully done for the location

What more is there to say than already written in my previous reviews. I have stayed several times and look forward to many more stays as frequently as I can nab a vacancy.

A stunning view from a comfortable garden room. Beds were comfortable and there was a huge selection of breakfast cereals. The shops, pubs and beach is only a short walk away but it is a steep hill on the journey back. If I go back to Swanage I'd definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend this apartment. Great views and friendly hosts

Our hosts were amazing! They patiently waited as long as they could as we misjudged the holiday traffic in their area and had a clever arrangement by which we could let ourselves in. The rooms were sunny, bright, very clean and comfortable; and we particularly loved the views to the sea and the call of the seagulls! We had some breakfast in the sweet little kitchen before departing for a second one elsewhere! There were lots of little touches that reflected the thoughtfulness of our hosts and if we ever want to visit that area again, we'll definitely be back.

Jeremy and Louise are warm and welcoming and it's always a pleasure to stay

Lovely, friendly hosts. Fantastic location with great views and comfortable, clean accommodation. I would highly recommend. My dog also approved!!!

Jeremy and Louise are the perfect hosts. They were very helpful with local information during our stay and made us feel at home and very welcome. The studio is very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our stay including more breakfast options than we could possibly eat. Thank you Jeremy and Louise(URL HIDDEN)

The garden flat is in a very quiet and pleasant area of Swanage, not far from the sea front, but far enough not to be bothered by any late night revellers. We were made very welcome by our hosts, and the flat, with it's separate entrance, was clean and spacious. Breakfast was laid out in our own little breakfast room, and we helped ourselves to cereal, bread, juice and coffee of which there was plenty to consume. A good place to stay for a few days.

This was a very nice flat to stay in. Great for two people. Saw some great sunsets. Thanks.

Great little place for 2. We loved the well equipped kitchen.

The apartment was very clean, comfortable; especially the bed, has everything you would need. A great place to stay when visiting Swanage.

Fantastic place. Cosy, clean, well maintained & has everything you need. Great location , everything within walking distance. Perfect retreat for a short getaway. Would definitely recommend.

The apartment is in a fab location, just a minute walk to the see. Has everything you need for a little hideaway. Kitchen and bathroom are clean and tidy. There's two TVs and a DVD player. Parking on site. Just a fab little place! Would definitely recommend to others.

It was a lovely place to stay, very clean and comfy.

Great location, bright, clean, comfortable stay was had by myself and partner. Will be booking again in the near future.

A great place to stay! and great tips from Louise for walks (saw some great wildlife). The location was perfect with beautiful walks basically starting from the front door. Clean, tidy, quiet - exactly what I wanted!

Louise is a very warm person and very helpful with lots of nice touches in decor and provision of the little things that make you feel at home. There are loads of books and maps related to walking in the Purbecks, which we enjoyed doing. However, if the weather is very bad it might prove difficult to dry your wet things as bathroom is enclosed. Again, if we had to spend a lot of time indoors the lack of space might prove annoying but we thoroughly enjoyed our five days of unseasonably mild weather in and around Swanage. Would thoroughly recommend this.

Small but spotless little place. Perfect if you just need somewhere asa base while exploring the Dorset countryside as we did. Louise's communication was excellent, and she seemed to go out of her way to make herself available to us.

Louise contacted me before the stay so I knew the arrangements for getting access. The annexe was spotless and very comfortable. Highly recommended.

I had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at Louise’s annexe. Warm greetings, all features mentioned in the listing, lots of thoughtful touches, brilliant communication, plenty of parking and an easy walk to the beach/steam railway. Neighbourhood was lovely, with stunning views. There’s a beautiful walk up the hill behind the property. I went for a relaxing break and that’s exactly what I had. I would recommend, and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Louise!

Lived up to the expectations. Lovely clean room with separate small kitchenette and bathroom. Quiet area so my daughter and I slept like logs...sea air probably contributed too. Ideal for two people as a base to explore the local area. Not far to walk into town down the hill. Very pleasant and we would certainly stay again. The owner Louise was fab and nice little touches made us feel most welcome. We visited just after Easter and there happened to be some mini eggs in a bowl in the room, much to the delight of my 5 year old. The fresh bread and jam delighted me! Great communication from the owner throughout. Have a happy visit.

Clean, inviting interior, lovely little garden outside. Louise was lovely and very quick to respond to enquiries.

This accommodation was good value, cosy and comfortable. It is in a quiet area with good access to the town and lovely coastal walks. Louise is a friendly, helpful and pleasant host.

Very good communication prior to arrival from Sarah and Brian. Spacious room with a lovely big bed, and it was fun to see the steam trains passing! Quiet residential area, maybe 10 mins walk from the centre. The hosts provided plates, spoons and knives - useful for snacks. Overall a very good experience.

We loved our stay in Swanage. So very pretty. Sarahs place was an easy walk to town. Loved the harbour and walks on the headlands and Corfe. The room was very well equipped clean and comfy. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.

I really enjoyed my stay at sarahs . Both Sarah and Bryan were very welcoming and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Would highly recommend and will definitely be there again. Thanks for making my break a memorable one

The room was very clean and very beautifully decorated. The ensuite bathroom was amazing and it was really convenient. The hostess was extremelly kind and she was really hepful and supportive with us despite our unfortunate circumstances. Thanks for everything!

Sarah's room is exactly what we needed for a night in Swanage. It's spacious, clean, bright and airy with plenty of room for the three of us. The small extras of tea,coffee, small fridge, bowls, plates etc were very welcome. My daughter loved seeing the steam trains go past the end of the garden. We'll definitely be going back and would thoroughly recommend the room.

Sarah was a great host making us feel welcome and very accommodating even when we had to change our time of arrival a couple of times. Very easy going and warm and friendly. The house is situated about 10 mins from the Swanage seafront although we really used it as a base to go to the Monkey Sanctuary and to Lulworth Cove. The accommodation was good value for the money and all very clean and tidy and we would definitely stay there again if we were in the area.

Communication with Sarah was great before we arrived, so once we were there everything was as expected and better. We were only stopping for one night so didn't need much - but we had everything that we could have wanted. Great location (short walk in to town for dinner), comfortable beds and a lovely shower. I'd definitely recommend staying here. And we saw the steam train go past!

Room nicely fits me, my wife and 1.5 year old son as well as my sister. The owner was kind enough to provide us with a baby cot (not to mention very friendly and kind). Location is easy to find and within driving (even walking) distance to the town. Room was very clean and neatly kept. Really enjoyed the beach/seaside theme of the room and bathroom. Nicely done! The bed and sofa bed were both extremely comfortable! The attached bathroom is handy and it ensures your privacy. Occasional sounds of the steam engine whistle behind the house adds up to an extremely pleasant and lovely ambiance to the house. Would recommend the room to anyone.

Stayed here as a couple, loved the flat, perfect size for us really convenient for the beach and shops, also parking was not a hassle at all. All the little bits we could have wanted, clean, cosy, nice little town. Gorgeous! Very friendly and helpful host too.

Magda was lovely and was helpful as she could be, however, we had no hot water all weekend. She sent over her friend to try and fix it, but he was unable to. The flat was lovely and had everything we needed, it was just a shame that we couldn't have a shower.

Magdalena was an amazing host. She made our stay wonderful and I would 1000% recommend staying st Magdalena's flat. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to returning. Thank you Magdalena! Xx

We had a lovely stay at Magdalena's flat. She met us outside the property and showed us around to make sure we had everything we needed. The flat is spacious, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. It has everything you need. The living room has plenty of seating and has a TV and DVD player. There are a few DVD's there for us to play. The kitchen is well equipped so we were able to eat in a couple of times. She made sure there was milk, tea and coffee so we could make ourselves a drink straight away. The bedroom is great with lovely linen and pillows. Had a great nights sleep. The bathroom has a bath with a really powerful shower above. There were plenty of towels as well as shampoo and soap. The radiators made sure the flat was warm and cosy. Magdalena texted regularly to make sure we were happy which meant we knew she would sort out anything that was a problem. The flat itself is right in the middle of the town and very handy for restaurants, pubs and shops, all in a minutes walk. This meant we had no need to drive anywhere in the evening. People have mentioned that you hear people in the street, but that is to be expected being right in the centre. We did not find this a problem at all. Finally, it was great to have our own parking place at the back of the property. We would definitely look to stay again if we are in Swanage.

This is a comfortable and well equipped flat in the heart of Swanage, close to public transport and with its own car parking space. Magdalena is a great host and made sure that we had everything that we needed for an enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.

Magdalena was very nice and attentive, the place was very clean, tidy and well equipped. It was very central to Swanage with good parking (which is rare in Swanage). All in all we couldn't fault our stay or our hostess and would gladly return.

The host canceled this reservation 75 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This apartment is perfect for a weekend stay in Swanage (and indeed for longer). It is well appointed, warm, comfortable and well decorated. Location is perfect - everything is walkable so leave the car in the reserved space, on site and off you go. I will definitely stay here on my next visit to Swanage. Communication with the host is also first class.

This has everything you need for a stay in Swanage. Stones throw from the beach, free parking, quiet area and the apartment is wonderfully equiped. We slept really well for our two night stay. David and Gill are wonderful hosts and cant do enough to make your stay a great one. Highly recommend.

Great location only a few steps to the beach, quiet area and parking. The flat was well equipped and lovely and clean. Many Thanks

The accommodation had everything needed for a holiday, David & Jill were very welcoming. Lovely location very close to the sea, very clean & comfortable.

Wonderful location! Close to nature and a ten minute walk to the middle of swanage, but the house is conveniently tucked away so it's nice and quiet. The appartment has everything you need and you certainly get a lot of space for your money. Communication and check in/out was easy. We were greeted by David and Jill's daughter who was very kind and explained everything we needed to know. She was also just around the corner of we needed anything or had questions. The other neighbours were very friendly and quiet as well. All in all a cosy and convenient place for any type of trip.

A lovely place for a weekend away! Thank you!

Fantastic location, a stones throw from the beach. David and jill were on hand when we arrived to give us the tour, then we were left alone to our own devices. Would recommend if you want a reasonable priced stay with some Great local attractions/walking spots such as Durlston country park. On a side note kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils you will need too cook.

Great place for visiting Swanage and its surroundings.The flat is very spacious and has everything you need. It takes 2mn to get to the sea and you can walk easily to the town center.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was a good size for us (a couple with a newborn). There is a comfy large bed and room for a travel cot. It is spotless and well equipped which is ideal if you are planning on cooking. Nice outside space and very welcoming owners! We'd definitely consider booking again. Many thanks!

This is a lovely quiet area of Swanage but within easy walking distance of town and countryside and with easy parking. We were made to feel very welcome on our arrival and we were delighted with the studio apartment. It had everything needed for a short break and we were very grateful for the efficient heating system for our December stay. The soft furnishings and bedding were particularly lovely and very reminiscent of an expensive hotel.

The apartment was perfect for our 2 night stay, it had everything we needed! We arrived late at night and David had left us chocolates and milk, a lovely treat. Thanks David!

We were made very welcome. The studio apartment was very comfortable and the facilities were of a very high standard. The location was excellent. A short walk from the apartment took one to the coastal path. We soon realized that the area would require more than the week we had to explore! The apartment also had its own private entrance but the hosts were on hand if anything else was required. The apartment also had its own private patio area which added an extra dimension to the stay. We would love to return ... a real gem of a location PeteM

We had a great time in Swanage. David was very welcoming and helpful. He gave us some indications about things to do nearby and had lots of info in the apartment. The apartment was very clean and cosy. The kitchen was great and has everything you need if you decide to cook. The area is quiet and safe.We even had some home-made cookies waiting for us! We would definitely recommend!

We had a great stay in Swanage - the studio was perfectly kitted out, with clearly a lot of care and thought put into what guests would need and want. David was an extremely considerate host and nothing was lacking at all. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thank you!

Great self contained flat with very well equipped kitchen. We were greeted with home made cake and milk in the fridge. A great base to explore the Dorset coast. Thank you David

This a welcoming, comfortable, warm and well equipped place to stay. It is great if you are into walking as it is very close to the coastal path. Great value for money.

Stayed here for the night with my partner and two children. Lovely studio with a very comfy bed! Highly recommend.

Wonderful location near to the beach. Although compact it was very comfortable and clean. Our breakfast was left in the fridge as requested and the supplies were very generous. In good weather you could sit outside and be in a small and pretty garden. Website is accurate and photos also.

I can't recommend this place enough! The accommodation is lovely, nicely decorated and well proportioned. We were really impressed with the quality of the vegetarian breakfast Hamish provided. The location is nice and quiet, a £5 taxi takes you into the centre of Swannage, the fact that this place is opposite the Grand Hotel makes it easy to order the taxi home too!

Lovely, private lodge in garden. Great facilities in room. Welcoming host and lovely veggie breakfast. Great location close to sea front in quiet cul de sac.

Great accommodation in a beautiful location.

An airy and spacious flat. Pleasant for a few days in the beautiful bay of Swanage. Comfortable Some better kitchen equipment and a blind over the porthole window would lift this.

I stayed at William's beautiful penthouse with some of my family members. We were delighted with the accommodation which has a lovely light and airy feel to it. The beds were amazingly comfortable and although the sofas in the lounge were not so as they are sofa beds, we were very comfortable relaxing in various ways. Located just a few moments walk away from the beautiful sandy beach of Swanage Bay. Each morning I took a short 10 minute walk via the promenade into the quaint town to buy amazing fresh bread and croissants for breakfast from the superb little Haynans bakery (8 Institute Way). William was a great host, communicated well and timely right from my initial enquiry, throughout the booking process and during our stay. I can't recommend William's penthouse enough - it's the perfect space to share with family and friends alike. In the few days since being home, I have deliberated over dates to return in 2017 and am delighted to be visiting again not once but twice! Well done William for providing such lovely accommodation and being a great host - Thank you. Mark Rowlands

This property is a beautiful penthouse flat set in a very convenient location in Swanage. William's communication throughout was very prompt and informative. This accommodation offers fantastic value for money for what is offered, in one of the loveliest towns in England.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Apartment was lovely and spacious. Close to the beach, shop and restaurants. Surrounded by outstanding beauty. Perfect.

This flat was great and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to stay in Swanage. The location is perfect as it is close to the beach, supermarket, shop and the main town. Check-in and check-out was really simple and we had no problems. The actual flat was lovely, it was extremely clean and included everything you could need and having a balcony was an extra bonus. Thanks again William :)

This apartment is a excellent choice to explore Swanage and the surrounding area. It is in a great location as its less than 5 minutes walk to the beach and town centre. Its very spacious inside and would easily sleep 3 couples or two families if you throw the kids together in one room (or let some kids sleep on the sofas which were sofa beds). It has its own parking right outside and lift to the door. It was well furnished. We had a slight problem with the boiler (just had to find the right switch!) and Bill was very helpful in trying to find a solution for us. He even phoned me back the next day to make sure everything was ok. As a bonus Bill offers you 25% of a meal at his restaurant in Swanage and although we didnt take him up on his offer would do next time. Would definitely recommend staying here whatever you're situation.

Unfortunately due a delay on my part I wasn't able to meet William but the welcome and handover of keys went smoothly. The apartment was excellent, nice bedrooms and a spacious lounge and all in first class condition. We had all the amenities as described and the location was perfect for getting into Swanage. Overall a great experience and would definitely return.

Eine schöne drei-schlafzimmer-wohnung. Groß und sehr sauber, alles was benötigt wird, war bereits vorhanden: Handtücher, Toilettenpapier, Kaffee :-) Die Wohnung ist sehr zentral gelegen, nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß zum Strand oder zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Ein Parkplatz ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Fragen hat der Vermieter sofort beantwortet. Wir haben das Wochenende sehr genossen und würden dort jederzeit wieder hin.

Brilliant stay, great hosts thank you!

The Waverley Court flat is in a great location, very central, just 100m from the town centre and Swanage steam railway station and 100m from the beach. The flat is perfect for a family of four, well equipped and all round just what you need for a few days exploring the Purbeck area.

Nice little flat, in a great location

Very clean, close to beach and shops. Would recommend.

Nice clean tidy flat, great location to explore from and nice comfy beds to relax into after a hard day at the beach making sand castles. I would definitely return. Thanks Charlie.

Great place to stay. Very close to beach and town. Will probably go back again in the future.

Check-in and communication with the host was very efficient. Apartment is very clean with all the utensils you need and central to everything. Highly recommend this apartment

Charlie was very helpful as we could not arrive until late on our first day. Charlie made special arrangements for us to pick up the key

Top Mark's all round, great location, good size rooms and living areas, couldn't have asked for anything more!

It was very easy to locate Vanessa's apartment and it was also in a great location in Swanage. We only spent one night here but had an enjoyable time walking around the town. Vanessa's apartment was clean and spacious and very comfortable.

Convenient location and comfortable, well-sized apartment. A very helpful host was able to provide portacot, high chair and stair gate that was a great help with our toddler.

A wounerful apartment in the centre of Swanage we all had a fabulous weekend break, will defiantly be back again in the future.

Vanessa was really welcoming from the start, supporting extra requests such as a high chair and travel cot. The flat was fab and even closer to the sea front than I thought! Some lovely touches such as milk and cookies, were really welcoming. Vanessa responded super quickly to all our various questions and has made our stay a wonderful holiday which we will remember for ever! I would highly recommend staying and am sure you will have a similar experience.

The flat was absolutely wonderful. Larger than expected and beautifully decorated and presented. Spotlessly clean and with everything provided that you could need for your stay - and some lovely Dorset ginger biscuits as a welcome gift. Seconds from the promenade and with a convenient parking space about a minute away. We never met the host as the key was in a safety box by the door, but she was prompt to reply and very hospitable. As soon as we arrived we wished we could stay longer than one night.

Myself and a group of friends spent New Years in Swanage, we all agreed that our accommodation contributed greatly to us having such a great time there. The flat is open, sort, clean and location is excellent. Vanessa is also a great host, the communication was excellent and it was also lovely to arrive to a message welcoming us, prosecsso and biscuits. The small details definitely made a huge difference. We also accidentally left an item of Jewellery behind which Vanessa kindly offered to mail back. All in all a top class experience, I couldn't recommend enough.

If this place is available, book it. When we arrived there was a coded key box on the door and very clear instructions on where to park. The apartment was very clean and kitted out with everything you would need from towels to cooking utensils. Your right in the heart of Swanage and surrounded by some great pubs and places to eat. Would 100% recommend! :)

Angie and Nick were wonderful hosts. Very accommodating and warm. Thanks guys. Everything in the guest wing was as seen in the pictures. The bedroom is specious and well decorated. The beds were amazingly comfortable!! In the guest kitchen we had a fridge with yogurt and fresh fruit salad and plenty of jams and fresh bread. Yummy. The garden is great to have a morning coffee in especially when it's sunny. Overall we had a great time and would love to come back! Keep up the wonderful work.

My wife, Sally, and I thoroughly enjoyed the three days we stayed at the Guest Wing, and Angela and Nick were the perfect hosts. Their home is nicely appointed for any stay from an overnighter through to an extended stay of a week or more. Angela is especially gracious and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. It is very obvious that she truly cares about her guests, and she was extremely valuable in helping us explore the area surrounding Swanage...she even led us on great walks along the coastline and nearby farming (URL HIDDEN) was great! The bottom line for us is that we will definitely return to the Guest Wing whenever we're back in Dorset...and, we sincerely hope that will be sooner than later!

We were welcomed with a hug and felt at home right away. Enjoyed visiting with Angela and Nick who could not have been more helpful in getting us oriented to the area. The breakfast room is a wonderful convenience as we could eat whenever we were ready in the morning. The guest wing is very private and complete. Loved it!

We were greeted like old friends. The bedroom was great. The whole place was spotless and Angie went out of her way to recommend restaurants beforehand as it was my husbands birthday. Angie even gave him a card! Really kind. Everything, absolutely everything was perfect. Angie has thought of everything to make your stay brilliant. Swanage is a great place to spend a few days in. There is loads to do. Thank you so much Angie and Nick

Nick and Angie's place in Swanage is the ultimate long weekender, mid-weeker or week-longer, and quick frankly, the more time you spend here the longer you will be in paradise. First, the hosts are WONDERFUL people and we felt like long friends within minutes of arriving. The room is wonderful with a great bed, sheets, pillows....like sleeping in a hotel, which is what the brand new bathroom reminded me of too. Every night we would come home to a warm welcome and genuine interest in our holiday. By morning, a wonderful breakfast was waiting for us which we looked forward to every day. Swanage itself is a wonderful place, with a great deal to do in terms of walks. We spent three days walking the coast and inland trails that have fantastic scenery. Their loop nature never meant we had to default to public transport which made us even more satisfied of our walks. Beyond Swanage is a place called Worth, with a wonderful pub and this is a favourite of the area next to "The Fish Plaice" opposite New Look which does AAA-grade fish and chips which we admit to eating more often than anywhere else. Angie and Nick were so kind to lend us flasks and other items for our walks, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Their local advice was excellent and very helpful.We will be back to see them and their lovely dog. Thanks so much for a wonderful time!

Had a great stay, Swanage is lovely and Angela and Nick's place is very spacious and comfortable. We were there in the winter, but I can imagine it would be pretty spectacular in the summer. Recommend The Corner Restaurant.

We enjoyed our stay at Angie & Nick's. Clean, attractive and comfortable private accommodation with a beautiful sunny outlook from breakfast room into garden. Angie on hand to give advice about walks, pubs, etc, and Swanage centre just 5 minutes walk away. Great situation! We hope to return soon, 2 nights wasn't long enough!

Wir haben unseren Wochenend-Aufenthalt bei Angie und Nick sehr genossen. Der Guest Wing ist wie eine Ferienwohnung. Alles ist genau so wie auf den Fotos, sehr sauber und huebsch eingerichtet. Das leckere Fruehstueck war so gross, dass wir uns davon praktischerweise noch packed lunches machen konnten. Angie hat uns super Tipps gegeben und Dank ihr hatten wir einen wundervollen "Wandertag" nach Worth Matravers, ohne uns zuviel vorzunehmen. Zum Ausruhen konnten wir uns abends einen Film Klassiker aus Angies und Nicks DVD Sammlung aussuchen. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefuehlt und werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

The apartment is spacious and charming. We loved the location; a walk down the hill to downtown Swanage. It's steep on the way back up, but I felt that I could use the exercise anyway! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen has everything we needed to make our meals.

Great host, great apartment, great week!

This is a nice flat with good views , access to Swanage and fantastic walks in Durlston Country Park nearby

We chose Val's apartment as it was close to our niece's wedding venue and other relatives in Swanage. The apartment is in lovely condition, clean and comfortable. It is easy walking distance to the beach and Swanage town. This is the ideal location to stay for anyone attending an event at Durlston Castle. We were delighted to meet Val before we left. Thank you Val for the bottle of wine - most welcome.

Val was super helpful in every way. Lovely apartment with everything you need - was perfect location for exploring the local area - 5-10 min walk to shops and central swanage - beautiful views - right next to Durlston country park which is lovely for walks. Overall highly recommeneded! Thanks Val

This was our first experience of Airbnb and we were certainly not disappointed. Our host, Val, was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries. The apartment was indeed charming and in stunning decorative order, and very comfortable. The welcome pack supplied was very informative and we enjoyed some of Val's suggested walks. The apartment is located on a hill so you do need to be fairly fit! We had a lovely short stay in the apartment and a great time in and around Swanage which is a delightful seaside town. We wouldn't hesitate to revisit.

Great place to stay. Very comfortable, stylishly renovated, well-equipped and in a handy location, with a really responsive host.

We absolutely loved out stay at this apartment. The place is just beautiful and everything it promises in the profile. You can tell it has only recently been renovated and everything is clean and tidy. Beds are super comfortable, the lounge is cute and cosy. The location in Swanage is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy walk along the beautiful dorset coast line or sunny days at the beach, although the walk up to the house is unfortunately fairly steep. Val was a great host and communication and processes were easy and absolutely uncomplicated. I would definitely stay there again!

Great place to be, close to the seafront and close to the station.

When we arrived Tracie showed us the room and the rest of the facilities ,made us feel very welcome and introduced us to Tyrion the dog

Nice room, Tom and Tracie were quick to respond and very helpful hosts. We enjoyed our night's stay & the lovely breakfast in the morning.

Tracie made sure she was at home at the time we were due to arrive. She was very welcoming and made sure we knew where all the amenities were. The room was clean and comfortable, we had a great night's sleep. The bathroom was clean and conveniently placed close to the bedroom. Ryan was a great host in the morning. The breakfast provided was just as described. This was our first experience of Airbnb and we would certainly do it again based on this experience. We would definitely stay with Tracie again. We were only a short walk from the prom and dinner at the nearby Black Swan recommended by Tracie was great value and delicious. Thank you Tracie and Ryan.

Tracie was most welcoming and accommodating. Great help we could store my partners mountain bike inside. Lovely breakfast, very much appreciated as we had to leave early and quite a few items were on-the-go. Very close to seaside, but still nice and quiet.

Friendly hosts, clean and comfortable accommodation, quiet neighbourhood and pleasant walk into town - would recommend.

We found Tracie to be an extremely friendly and welcoming hostess. We were made to feel like a part of the family (we chatted with her and her family in the lounge while drinking mugs of tea and coffee). We got to play with Tyrion, her dog. The place is very clean. It's also within walking distance of the town centre. We also found no problem parking near the house.

Communication prior to the stay with Tracie was fine and when we arrived she gave us a very friendly welcome as well as advice as to where to eat in town. We slept very comfortably and there were plenty of options for breakfast in the morning too.

Lovely, cosy flat in a fantastic setting. Loved breakfasts on the patio in the sunshine and the direct beach access. Beautiful beaches, great cliff walks - a wonderful break. Great hosts. Many thanks!

Our stay at Gabrielle and Austin's place was lovely. Particularly enjoyed the refreshing swim between the groynes on the beach below, and the walk over the headland to Old Harry's Rocks followed by drinks on the lawn at the Pig on the Beach, Studland (next time, we hope to drop by the nearby old smugglers' pub!). Very much recommend!

We had a great time at Austin's and Gabrielle's place. They did everything possible to make the the stay as comfortable as possible. The view and the garden directly at the sea made a long lasting impression on us, and we are looking forward to come back sometime.

Really lovely area to stay, close to a great pub. Short walk along the front into town where there are all of the amenities you could wish for. Hosts have thought of everything in the flat, even tea in cupboard!

A tidy n comfortable flat but this place is all about the location. The rear garden has a sea view that is as good as you get and has the bonus of a stairway down to a quiet sandy beach with a lovely beach cafe to linger in. Enjoyed it greatly. Austin n Gabrielle were available n very helpful via phone and email

Lovely little place ,beautifully furnished ,clean and perfect situation for walking and beach .

Great flat and perfect location for the South West Coast Path or a walk to Corfe Castle. Wonderful views of the sea and easy walk into town. Neighbours were very friendly. Flat itself was very clean with everything you need. Instructions provided were clear and the owners were helpful and prompt in their communication. A couple of small issues were that I was travelling with a friend and intended to use the sofa bed as the extra bed (having checked it was suitable before booking). While this maybe fine for one night it was very uncomfortable with 2 metal bars running horizontally at shoulder and hip height. After 2 nights trying to find the ideal position I resorted to the floor. This might be because I am short (5ft) but even so, I suggest the flat is really best for a single person or couple sharing the main bed. Also parking during holiday times might not be easy. While there are 3 visitor parking spaces 2 of these were blocked off with cones and the street was full. We were lucky most of the time though and it may well be better out of holiday time. Note that BT open wifi is pretty pricey - @£5-6 per day. That said - the flat and location are certainly great and owners very friendly - would recommend.

We found the apartment very comfortable and in a lovely location on top of cliffs above the bay, with lovely sea views from the garden. Austin and Gabrielle provided a very comprehensive guide with information about the apartment and useful information on the surrounding area. If we holiday again at Swanage we would definitely stay at this apartment again.

The flat was lovely and was perfect for a trip with my parents. There was plenty of space for all of us and the view off the deck was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed having coffee on the balcony every morning.

We hadn`t been to Swanage for many years and found little changed. It is great for a restful break with lots to do nearby without the need for a car(URL HIDDEN) We would like to be back enjoying the view from the apartment right now and later if we could drag ourselves away, we could pop out for some fish and chips which would still be warm when we walk back with them. For us this seems one of the nicest places to stay in Swanage, great location, helpful host. Hope to go back one day.

Fantastic location and views. Would definitely recommended a stay here.

Our second visit, and we really enjoyed watching the view from the balcony in the evenings. There is always lots to watch as various sailors, rowers and snorkellers cruise past! A very comfortable apartment, and lovely to go to sleep to the sound of the sea. Frances was also very helpful with giving a partial refund as the front of the building was being painted during our stay.

Frances was prompt and helpful with communication. The apartment is fabulous both in terms of location and interior. I would definitely return. The highlight, for me was the sound of the sea.

Fantastic location, right on the sea front with a very short walk into town. I've loved Swanage since I was a child but it was amazing to be so close to the sea. Would love to return!!

Jan 2017 Just had the most amazing 3 days, beautiful apartment with stunning seaveiws, well equipped and such a relaxing place to stay. The sound of the sea was amazing. Fabulous location ........... will definitely be back.

A lovely warm and spacious apartment with stunning views of Swanage bay. We were made very welcome and Frances was very helpful. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that you need and the lounge spacious and some lovely furnishings. As it was close to Christmas, Frances had put up a beautiful tree and made the whole place feel like a home from home! The bedrooms were warm and comfortable, with the feel of being in a castle when you look out of the arched stone windows. The area is lovely and friendly with plenty to see and do, information is provided in the apartment and Frances has some great local knowledge if you need any tips. We would be more than happy to return here on our next trip to Dorset.
