  Absolutely brilliant accommodation. Felt very homely and all the furnishings and items in the house are top quality. Yes, there is a bit of a short hill to the house but well worth it for the views of the pier, sea and Old Harry Rocks from the front room and front bedroom. There’s a large hatch connecting the lounge to the kitchen so if you are in the kitchen you still feel part of the lounge. Beds were so comfy and the showers were great! Close to everything you need in the town but on a quiet road that’s very peaceful. It is on the first and second floor so if you’re taking a dog, you will need to go out with them as there’s no direct access to outside but across a quiet road you’ve got immediate access to The Downs which is a popular dog walking area. We did a lot of walking and the Coast Path is a 2 minute walk from the house. Swanage was a welcoming town with nice pubs, cafes and restaurants. Walking the coast path and ridges was stunning. Couldn’t find fault with the property and would gladly return!

  We had a number of problems throughout our holiday. The front door keys were very difficult to remove from the lock, so we had to use the back door to enter and exit the property. On arrival, the internet was not working. The remote controls to the upstairs tv and set top box did not work. We were unable to access Netflix and Disney+ on the tv. The internal bathroom door handle detached from the door, leaving one of our party trapped inside. The bathroom door would only open partially, because the floor was stopping it. We had no hot water on the final three days of our holiday. This was fixed once, but was not working the next day. We had to phone about these problems on 5 of our 8 days in the property. We think it unlikely that you will include our review on the website, but we would appreciate it if you would ask the owners to consider a partial rental refund to compensate for the problems arising.

  The cottage is lovely. So comfortable and with a wonderful outside decking area and garden. We had glorious sunny weather, and the bifold doors whilst relaxing later in the evening were well used. It was helpful to know from the website info about steep stairs in the cottage, so you know before you decide to book. However, the owner has bannisters on both side of the stairs so they were not an issue. Swanage and its beach are lovely and a doable walk from the cottage if you don't want to drive. There are buses too with stops just yards away from the cottage. Plenty of shops and pubs around and, of course, the wonderful Swanage station and the steam trains taking you on a short ride to Corfe and further.

  After only booking a week before our holiday, we were pleased to find this gem! The cottage has everything we needed and the extra touches were nice to see - tea bags for our arrival! We all found the beds very comfy - the girls were hot on the last two nights upstairs so they de-camped to the top lounge! (very handy) We loved Swanage and Barney the dog had not been on a train, bus, or boat before! Everywhere welcomes dogs and we particularly enjoyed Sunday lunch at The Anchor & Ship Inn. Girls liked the waffle place and Baboo for iced coffee. Girls went paddle boarding on the pier twice (cheaper than the beach) and highly recommend.Thank you so much, we had a blast!

  We had wonderful time in Foxglove Cottage!

  Great location, on a quiet street, but only minutes from lots of handy shops. The cottage was really comfortable and pretty and we enjoyed having coffee on the sunny little terrace in the back garden. Lovely to be able to walk from the cottage along the river to the quay at the Quomps, and explore the castle ruins. Particular highlights were hiring sea kayaks from the nearby SUP School, having a cocktail in Dirty Gerties on their terrace below the castle, to swimming at our favourite and beautiful beach near Highcliffe Castle (a short drive away). Mickey was so helpful before and during our stay, and advising on parking and places to visit. A really perfect week!
