Perfect house, perfect location
The Gatehouse is a lovely house, with a great layout for families or friends sharing. It is immaculately presented, very comfortable, very easy to cater for stay-in evenings, everything works excellently. An easy walk into Swanage town and very easy drives to the fantastic South West Coastal path and the villages en route. We had a very pleasant New Year stay here - we highly recommend this property for a visit to Swanage and Purbeck.

We cannot speak highly enough of this property; it delivers everything and more than you would expect from a holiday rental. Additional ongoing comms with Sally (owner) throughout the week were very efficient. A boiler problem rolled over to us from previous week however it was corrected. House location means you are only a 10 minute stroll from the town. And garden is private plus well equipped for all to enjoy. Most likely a return to property for the four of us.

Excellent house with short walk to the beach
My family stayed at this property for 5 days in July. Throughout the booking process and pre arrival Sally was really helpful and made everything run smoothly. The house was a good size for us with 2 adults and 3 children aged 10 to 23z the garden room was an extra bonus as it gave space. The garden was a good size with plenty of seating, parking was really easy. We cooked at home some nights and the kitchen was well stocked, there were also plenty of takeaways within walking distance and most delivered. We also walked I.to the town which was a relatively short walk, fast on the way down! Swanage itself we found to be a great base to visit lots of attractions on the Jurassic Coast. Throughout our stay Sally was very responsive, I will definitely return!

9 nights stay
We spent 9 nights at the cottage. Great location, about 15 minutes walk to town and beach. Plus a very well stocked convenience store, a couple of pubs, chippie and Chinese takeaway, all within about 5 minutes walk. Property was very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. Only negative was no tumble dryer, which wouldn’t be an issue if you are there for a weekend. Beautiful looking home from the outside too. Thanks Sally!
