This is a lovely apartment with all the facilities provided that you could wish for for a comfortable stay. We had excellent speedy communication from the host following an enquiry before our arrival. The residence is located in a quiet location, with a pleasant stroll into town. Although we were only there for the weekend, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Nicely decorated apartment. Large rooms, lovely views and very well situated. Literally a few minutes walk down to Beach, which is quiet compared to main Beach in the Town. Everything provided that you may need. Loads of toys for younger children. Would definitely come back.

Recommended! Puffin cottage is a spacious, relaxing upstairs of a large home. It has a separate entrance to the downstairs. There's a little garden, and a car parking space, and a nearby beach (7 min walk). The beds were comfy, and the flat has an attractive coastal themed decor. For those with young children, it has an impressive toy collection, alongside books for children and adults. It has a well stocked kitchen, with thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, olive oil, soap, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tabs, etc. Bath towels, tea towels and dish cloths are included. We found the host, Stew, to be friendly and helpful. We'd recommend this place, and Swanage is a relaxing little town with beautiful walks, a big, clean beach, and good attractions nearby.

Property was well presented with lots of things for children. It also had kitchen extras that were a nice touch. Would have been good for property description to state towels were included and extras in the kitchen as we would not have bothered to take our own. Walkable into Swanage. Was perfect for our trip

Really lovely property. Everything you need for a great holiday is available within the property. Also being able to park your car on the drive was great as parking in Swanage can be very difficult especially at school holiday times. Thank you.

Stayed with 3 friends whilst doing the Jurassic Coast Challenge. Apartment was in a very handy position, walking distance to Swanage. Large comfortable rooms, loads of toys for children and fully stocked kitchen. We were in Flat 2 and was confused as to which driveway we should be in but met another resident who told us where to go and how to get in. Very comfortable accommodation although the shower was a bit temperamental going hot then cold until it had been running a while and water pressure wasn't very strong but was usable. I would go back.

We brought our grandsons, aged 2 and 5, for the weekend to ride the Polar Express.
The journey down seemed to take forever, but their spirits soared as soon as they walked into the living room and discovered the wonderful selection of high-quality, well-kept toys and games.
The flat is spacious, nicely decorated , well equipped and nicely located and we will definitely remember it when next we come to stay. Thank you.

We stayed over Halloween weekend. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too great but or accommodation definitely made up for the disappointing weather. Location is a 10 to 15min walk to Swanage town center but was a very easy walk. The accommodation was equipped with everything and more than what we needed good family sized Lounge and The Kitchen Dinner was fully capable of sitting 4 Adults and 2 children. Very grateful to the owner for accommodating us at such short notice and will definitely like to stay again.

Ideally located for the festival, flat is comfortable, roomy and quiet. Spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds.
Slight downside could be a bit cleaner and shower goes from scolding to freezing with no adjustments.
Would stay again.

We stayed for a weekend with our two young children. The flat is really well set up for toddlers with a fantastic array of toys and dressing up clothes that the kids really enjoyed. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the beach so was ideal for us to visit the beach frequently.
The flat was well equipped throughout and had everything we needed and more. If I had to find any fault it was that it could have been a bit cleaner and that the shower pressure was a bit low.
We had no issues with parking in front or on the drive.

Stay was lovely, flat very spacious and location is excellent. The wi-fi wasn't great and was very slow and cut out a lot, but other then that great stay.
Owner very responsive when we couldn't figure out why the shower didn't work [a switch had tripped] and we sorted it out quickly.
Would stay again.

We loved the proximity to the beach and to the town. Really enjoyed our stay, first time in Swanage. Very warm and comfortable.

Generally a comfortable property, great size, light and bright, in a good location. Furnished well and everything we needed was there.
Parking is tricky. If we'd been in a larger vehicle, parking on the drive would not have been possible given the space available. Access is rightly given to occupant of Flat 3, but this makes the space for parking very tight, particularly given the location of the neighbours boat. We were told plenty of street parking, but that was not the case when we were there. We felt the property could be cleaner. I also don't want to be stripping beds when away on a break.

Monday to Friday get away with sister and daughter. Accommodation was spacious with a well equipped kitchen which was great as we cooked in most evenings. Location was good, a short walk to the beach and town. Easy access to coastal paths and the ridge walk to Corfe castle. Nice quiet neighbourhood but only a 15 minute walk to some lovely places to eat. Wi-Fi was a bit frustrating but overall an active but restful few days away.

We have stayed in lots of different properties in Swanage over my lifetime both as a child and now as a parent myself.
This is my favourite!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the apartment, so light, peaceful and spacious for a family of 5. Very well equipped and in great condition. Our host answered any enquiries straight away. We appreciated being within walking distance to the beach and town, plus having the downs behind us. Happily would stay again.

Tidy apartment along the Jurassic Coast
My family of 6 and I enjoyed our stay in this tidy, 3 bdrm/1bath apartment. Within walking distance to things in town (the beach, local parks and playgrounds, train station, and shops) and a short drive to see much of the beautiful Jurassic Coast. We enjoyed hiking and visiting national landmarks during the day and having the beach mostly to ourselves in the late afternoon/evening. The street parking can be a little tricky to find a spot, and the drive way a tight fit for even a compact, but over all would stay here again.

Wonderful spot for a family break!
We had a lovely, relaxing Easter weekend here with my teenage sons. The flat was very well equipped and in a quiet spot away from the bustle of the town but only two minutes from the beach. We’d love to return for longer!
