Summary of reviewsGuests enjoyed lovely stays at Caroline's cozy cottage with convenient locations, clean interiors, and comfortable amenities. Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday.

Lovely character property in a great location. A home from home really.A couple of small recommendations; a non slip mat in the bath and a bin in the bathroom would be useful.As the property allows a dog, we thought the court yard would be enclosed but found that the steps led straight out onto the road. This should be mentioned in the description.

It's a very nice cottage, but I would have liked to have been informed that the property is over three floors and the bathroom is on the ground floor, my wife and I are both pensioners and it was not very convenient coming down stairs in the middle of the night

We had a very happy two weeks in Rumpus Cottage.We could check in early which was really good and the cottage was ideal for us being within a short walk to Swanage and area.Fully equipped for a self catering holiday.The host Caroline was very friendly and helpful.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2022
Property is well described and well kitted out with everything you need. The bathroom does suffer with condensation issues and parking outside the property is a lottery so once parked we didn’t use the car all week and used the very good bus service instead to get around. Not sure we’d visit Swanage again as not our type of holiday destination but would definitely go back to surrounding areas
