Sandbanks waterfront flat with panoramic views over Poole Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful flat with several balconies giving great sea views and views of the boats etc. The rooms were comfortable and clean. As we were on public transport we would have appreciated the offer of paying a bit extra for towels as they tend to take up a lot of room in luggage. Mark was excellent at keeping in touch with us. answering any queries. Supplies of cutlery, crockery and utensils were excellent. Sea views were wonderful. Plenty of chairs for sitting out. Luxurious showers. The only area that needed a bit more care was the area around the kitchen sink.But we were all retired nurses!"

This charming cottage has a secluded garden which is perfect for relaxing in.

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed a lovely girls weekend away in Bramble Cottage. The cottage was clean, warm and cosy and they supplied plenty of wood to enjoy a fire both nights we were there. The Village Inn provided a lovely welcome and great food for our first night. The bus stop opposite provided bus transport into Swanage for Â£3 return and you were able to track the bus so didn't have to stand out in the cold waiting for too long.The staff were very friendly and were able to fix a slight mishap with the door in a very timely manner.We are already planning our next trip."

Waterfront Cottage on the Beach In Beautiful Dorset Countryside Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing setting on Ower Bay, beautiful outdoor space. House itself is comfortable, has all amenities needed, and is cozy and clean but in a way you would expect in an older English cottage (low ceilings in some rooms, a few cracks in the paint on window frames etc). Emma was very responsive and helpful."
