Coastal Breeze Retreat

We loved the property so much we extended our stay. It had recently been refurbished and it was lovely and quirky. It was too cold to sit outside in the well utilised outside space. The kitchen was fully equipped and the location of the property is excellent. The owners use the property and there are locked units and wardrobes and cupboards but there is still plenty of space. The booking.com and Travel fox were excellent at helping us to extend. Would highly recommend with caveats.

Please ensure you do what we did and take videos and photos of the property as you enter and just before you leave. Include in you photos even innocuous items such as the bins, the number of light bulbs in each lamp. This is for yours and the owners security. As otherwise you may be asked to pay for something you did not damage. Please take a mattress topper or protector (we always take a big towel) as there are none protecting the main mattress. We read previous reviews and took an extra tea towel and spare clothes hangers but these were provided by the owners. We had such a wonderful holiday here, treating the home like we would ours, obeying all the house rules and removing our shoes and wearing slippers inside (bring yours). Our memories have however been shattered by being accused of damaging the kitchen bin and being presented by a Bill of £90 to replace this. We do hope noone else will experience this as it has been devastating. Please take heed and photograph everything. Then you can be sure to enjoy this beautiful place.

Good location for both town centre/beach and coast as well as the Swanage Railway railway station. Also, very pleasant views across the valley from the front rooms (ground) of the property.

We mentioned a few maintenance issues to the host and they said they'd be dealing with them. Also, it would have been helpful to have a couple of tea towels in the kitchen!
