Lovely location with excellent views over Swanage. Good walking from the door. Nice and peaceful. Cottage well equipped, very comfy bed. Would benefit from a mop for pet owners, a washing line in the garden to avoid over using the dryer. The lounge and garden very relaxing. The cottage was a bit dusty but the weather was very dry and there was dust coatings on the cars and roads. We had no problem negotiating the lane and narrow driveway. We recommend Dorset to visit with the beautiful coastline. Overall we really liked this cottage and would recommend a visit. Thankyou

East View was a lovely cottage with everything provided that you need for s great holiday. The garden was lovely (particularly for our toddler) and we spent a fair bit of time there. I think that adding wifi would make it terrific. I don't want to spend hours on my phone etc but if you are travelling as we were for a period of time, planning is needed and without much phone signal or wifi, this was difficult.
