Sandcastles (No 10) is in the centre no need to travel to buy food. As it is at the back of the building it is quiet and peaceful. Lots of eating places for lunch and evening meal. Very hot week for us so grateful for Tower fan with timer, also on the 3rd floor we could have our windows open overnight. Queries during the week were dealt with promptly. Lots of places to visit without travelling too far. Worth exploring the alleyways for small shops and eateries. Check out the pier for boat trips and a lovely lunch. Durlston Country Park (10 min by car) has lovely walks and if you have mobility issues you can hire a Tramper (Robust mobility scooter)Enjoy your stay

We had a lovely 3 night stay over the Easter holidays. Great central location. We did lots of hiking and walking and enjoyed the local cafes, fish and chips on the beach and resturants. Thank you
