Kitchener Cottage Swanage very close to beach

Very clean, lots of space and comfy bed. Liz was lovely and helpful.

The property was bright, spacious, and modern, with good quality, well-appointed kitchen and bathroom. It was really well positioned in a great location - close to the beach, pier and town centre, and an easy walk to the bus and train station. Despite being so central it was nice and quiet. The owner met us on arrival, and saved her parking space for us in front of the apartment building, which meant we didn’t have to hunt around for a parking space.

Just a few negatives (and we still enjoyed our stay): The flat smelled musty/damp More thorough cleaning needed (shower heads & tray, skirting boards, back of TV) Wi-Fi and 4G were virtually non-existent in the flat throughout our stay so we had to go elsewhere in town to use the internet. Mobile signal (Vodafone) also very poor. And some suggestions for improvement: An information pack eg nearest chemist, doctors, recommendations for restaurants, days out etc would be helpful Leaflets, bus timetables etc should be kept up to date (we replaced quite a few from previous years with current ones from the TIC). Would be good to have books, games, pack of cards etc for rainy days I would replace the existing bed set up with a normal double or kingsize bed (currently 2 single wooden beds/mattresses pushed together with a large mattress topper covering both. Gap in between mattresses and one bed being slightly lower than the other means an uncomfortable dip in middle). But pillows and individual beds very comfy.

Beautiful apartment, great location, close to the sea, eateries and shops. The apartment is also close to the train station bus station, too. The owner was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Easy to get hold of and very accommodating. very pleased with the whole experience. The only downside is the internet connection, which wasn't the best.

The internet connection was weak.

Close to the beach, spacious, well equipped and quiet

Great location. Very clean and spacious. Plenty of restaurants and pubs. The Ship inn was excellent.

Parking was hard to stay more than 24hrs in one place. Bit noise from outside when in bedroom at night.

Very comfortable and roomy, with a calm and peaceful air.

The WiFi is not good
