  A very new property, decorated very nicely, with comfortable seating, a nice TV and with 2 parking spaces a bonus. Great location, although not for older people who are unable to walk up the hill from the seafront. A bonus to have an outdoor table and chairs. A nice and comfortable, spacious apartment. A few negative points - it would have been really nice to have had the welcome pack, as after a long drive on arrival, to have to then go out and buy milk for a cup of tea, when we had expected milk to be there was not ideal. We couldn't believe that in such a new property, the toilet rolls were not fixed to the wall. We have never stayed anywhere before where there was only 1 dishwasher tablet, half a toilet roll in each of the bathrooms - used and handled by the previous people I suspect - and only one bin liner for the main bin, which is not enough when self-catering. When using the oven for the first time, so much smoke came out that it kept setting the smoke alarms off many times and the oven tray was greasy and dirty. A few of the main cooking utensils were also dirty. There did not seem to be a way of fixing the plugs so a bowl of water could be used to shave/wash in (in both bathrooms), so this had to be done under a running tap. The blind fixing/pulley in one of the bedrooms did not work, so the blind had to be put up and down by turning the roll.

  Accuracy of listing details. Yes you have a nice area outside the front of the property but the next door neighbour/owners front door is part of this. The front door of the property is actually a sliding patio door. The owners have the front door. There is an interconnecting door in the property. Presumably through to the owners property. The bathroom is level with neighbours garden and no blinds are provided. Lack of privacy. No where to hang a towel in bathroom. No heated towel rail. The big issue for us was that you have no control of the heating of the property. This was set at 18 degrees so if you are not warm enough. Tough. Not good enough for the price paid. We have been coming to Swanage for years now and have stayed at much better properties. Won't be returning to this one.

  Excellent quality property, lovely furnishings and very well equipped. Loved the decor in the sitting room and the local prints in the bedrooms. Great sunny patio courtyard, very safe for the dog as completely fenced in. Given a lower score for comfort because of the beds. The mattress in the en suite was far too thin for a luxury apartment - could feel the bed frame underneath and has left me with a bad back. the other bed frame squeaked every time my daughter rolled over. This is the only reason we wouldn't book here again as loved it otherwise. I think the blub should emphasise that the apartment is up a steep hill - for anyone unfamiliar with Swanage geography. Minor point - it would have been useful to know there is a cafetiere to save taking ours.

  The mattresses and pillows need replacing, no mattress protectors on the bed or pillows. Cleanliness could be better, the crockery on the shelves were dusty. The lights over the breakfast bar were dusty and had no bulbs in them, shower blocked which our friend sorted and the front door key wouldn't always work, last thing much too small a TV for the size of the room. It was a gorgeous apartment and we really enjoyed our stay, it's just these things need to be sorted for a perfect stay. Don't mind you using the review, as for the things we picked up on, we hope you you can sort out with the cottage owners, as we don't want to put people off from going to this lovely cottage
