Lovely cottage and very clean and well presented on arrival and only a ten min walk to town and the harbour. The parking however was a nightmare. A steep unmade road. with limited parking for guests who have to vie with residents for any space to park. This only really comes to light once booked and the details are sent by the owner. Would book the cottage again however the parking would us off. Overall a lovely stay though and will come back to Swanage again.

Enjoyed our stay. Many thanks

Great cottage. Very clean and in a good quiet location. Everything we needed. Thank you.

Great location in lively setting

Had a lovely few days. Cottage very nice

Well suitated property, walking distance from the centre. So, parking limited if there is more than one car. Very cosey accomodation with good size garden. Lovely stay.

Lovely stay, good location, plus free parking. Well equipped cottage with comfy beds. Would highly recommend it and The Black Swan too. We were walking the SWCP, so this was ideal.

We had such a lovely time, for the third consecutive Easter. My family really love this cosy cottage. My 6 year old tells me he wants to live there, not in our own house! It's very well located, lots to do nearby. The size of the cottage is perfect for my family (5) with dog. We hope to return when we can.

Brilliant location, lots to do within a short drive. Beach and numerous pubs serving good food a walk away. The dog loved it too! Cottage was beautiful and well equipped. Only one suggestion, I would have liked the option to pay extra for bedding and towels to be included too. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Very easy

Our family and us thought your cottage was lovely, just the sort of cottage we could live in,it was comfortable, clean and well stocked, it does need a couple more cooking utencils though i.e plastic spatula for frying pan so your pan does"nt get scratched and a large spoon for serving, other wise perfect.Thank-you.Janice W.

Excellent.

Good process and much enjoyed

Nice traditional cottage Quite at night and only 5 mins walk to the center of Swanage

Great location - lovely cottage showing it’s age - owner appears to have started an upgrade - if he keeps working through the property it will be fab.. Thanks for hosting us - perfectly comfortable - will be back when upgrades done

Pretty homely cottage in a great location which was very quiet. We had a lovely first family holiday staying here!

Great little cottage close to centre of Swanage. Great instructions and facilities provided by owner. New bathroom great although would benefit from an extra toilet, however realise this would be difficult and owner has made best use of space providing 3 bedrooms. Highly recommended and would stay again. Thank you

Accurately described in listing, we had a lovely stay

A real nest of a cottage with a lovely garden. We loved Swanage and the surrounding area. We would highly recommend the cottage as it was in a great location to get to the town but also experience peace and quiet.

Really happy with our choice of Lilac Cottage, it is a charming little property and the location was good. Whilst up a steep hill we actually didn’t even use the car for the duration of our stay, and enjoyed the short walk down to the beach, train station etc.. The kitchen was well equipped and the living area cosy. We would happily return for another break in future!

Cottage with a warm, Homely and inviting feeling. Everything that you may need, Steep stairs downstairs bathroom quite relaxing cottage

We had a lovely stay at the property with my parents, our 2 year old and our boxer dog. Enjoyed the garden, which was very quiet. Ten min walk to the beach, 3-4 minutes or so to nearest pub/shop.

Lilac cottage is located in a quiet cul-de-sac near the main street and within easy walking of the beach. It is tastefully decorated and furnished and well equipped. The garden is a little haven with a built in bbq. Great cottage in a lovely location.

What a lovely cottage. Had everything we needed and more. In a perfect secluded location, no noise at night. The kitchen was quirky, homely and very spacious along with the living room. All amenities where there to use… we told our own bedding inc duvet as easier (plus too lazy to make up a bed ;-) ) My 14 month old loved it too…! As soon as we arrived popped him on the floor and he was off exploring. Bathroom very nice bath/shower was obviously refurbished with a great depth to it. Owners were fab and communicative before we went therefore we didn’t needn’t need to bother them…. The only slightly negative was it didn’t half get chilly and didn’t want to keep boosting the hive system….! We did go in Feb though so It guess that goes with territory. Definitely would love to stay here again in the summer as had such a lovely time… been to Swanage countless times and this was our first GOLD star experience finding this hidden gem of a cozy cottage instead of a hotel… many thanks xxx

We are so pleased to have chosen this property again for our trip to Swanage. It is perfect for us, it has everything you could possibly need at your fingertips get tips. The location is excellent and peaceful. Nice surprise to see the bathroom had been refitted. We would definitely recommend to our family and friends and stay again as and when we return.

Very well situated near town and doggy walks.

Straight forward

Could do with some updating and a decent clean - particularly the bathroom and kitchen. Location was great. Instructions easy to follow.

What can I say.. everything was clean and as expected and beautifully set out for a lovely short break.. will definitely use again

Beautiful little cottage with a good size garden for the dogs to go in. Stayed for a few days with my partner, baby and my parents. Wifi was good, nice and close to the beach front so can easily walk in. Owners of the property communicated brilliantly, sending an email full of information so I had no questions for them after reading it.

We really enjoyed our stay - very comfortable and well equipped and wonderful location for beautiful Swanage.

A comfortable and quaint cottage with everything we needed. Would benefit from some modernisation and updating especially the shower
