  Fabulous location for walking to the beach huts daily.

  I hadn’t realised there was no dishwasher at the property which was a bit of a disappointment having to wash up for 4 people nightly. The kitchen utensils/pots & pans do need looking at & renewing. The knives were all pretty blunt and a lot of the pans were quite well used with bottoms scrapped off. The downstairs shower head needs looking at as it just trickled out a few of the holes in the middle of the head & we all ended up using the upstairs shower despite picking a property with 2 bathrooms for ease. The info book said to put bins out on Thurs night for a Friday collection but we saw the residents putting theirs out Thursday morning luckily so we did same & collection is Thursday, so that needs updating. The WiFi seemed very slow when 4 of us were connected & if you wanted to browse internet you had to come off the WiFi. As I say it’s a great location but parts of the property & kitchen contents need a bit of TLC. Also it’s the only holiday let we stayed in that had no welcome pack at all.

  The house was lovely!

  Large, well equipped kitchen, lovely dining room and a good sitting room. There could have been more places to sit - when the house is full, you have to sit on dining chairs. The bedrooms are wonderful! Big, lots of storage, clean, comfortable beds. The bathrooms are lovely, especially the one on the top floor. With many people in the house, we appreciated the to extra seperate toilets in addition to the bathrooms. The little apartment was also very good to have when staying 14 people in the house. Being Norwegian, we could't manage the AGA in the kitchen, so we had to use the other stove. We would have preferred two "ordinary" stoves, but that is more our own problem. It was very helpful with the big utility room and being able to wash and dry clothes. There was also a good parking space for our four cars. The house is just a short walk from the beach and town centre. I would highly recommend this property for big families to enjoy a holiday in lovely Swanage

  My wife, myself and our four friends made the very best of our one week stay at 20 Ulwell Road.

  I say this, as the weather could have been a lot kinder to us. We were left a very nice welcome pack, that contained most of the 'immediate essentials.' The house is very well presented and had pretty much everything we could have wanted. I stayed in the ground floor bedroom/apartment, which was large. The furnishings in this room are a little bit tired, but perfectly adequate. The shower has some black mould on the seals. My one big problem with this room was the tap in the sink. It took around 5 minutes for any hot water to come through and when it did, there was just the smallest gap between cold and scorching hot. This needs fixing. The lounge and dining room are very nice, as were the other bedrooms, although one shower was not working. One pleasant call with the Owner was enough for this to be fixed. I would recommend the rental of this property to anyone.

  A beautiful modern property. Furnishings and fittings are nice and modern and there is a good supply of equipment and crockery (maybe a few more small plates would be good) in the kitchen. Ideal for families. Location is on the edge of the town centre and suited us perfectly. It’s up a hill from the centre but one of the routes isn’t steep at all. Good private parking with easy access to the rear of the house. Rooms are well proportioned with plenty of space. Stayed here before and liked it enough to return. As on my previous stay the only downside is that the WiFi doesn’t work and despite numerous attempts to contact the owner (without success) no explanation or help was given. I’m just pleased I didn’t need to contact the owners for anything more serious, Fortunately it didn’t spoil our holiday.

  Compact little cottage on the outskirts of Swanage. More than adequate for a short break although possibly more suited to a couple than for three. Good bed , nice linen and towels and a modern bathroom. We didn’t cook at all but appeared to be everything you would need to do so. There are some lovely local cafes and restaurants so we enjoyed trying them out ! Not the easiest of places to pull up to unload on arrival but after that we managed to park each day just a little way down the road where there are parking spaces off the road. Access to the little garden is up a few steep steps so be mindful if you intend to use the garden or need to let a dog out. We did have a nice time - but be aware it’s too far to walk to the beach really and we had to use our car which adds to the parking fees.
