Spacious apartment near Swanage
Very spacious and quiet apartment. The washing machine was much appreciated! And the host left a welcoming bottle of wine.

Good location with plenty of walks
Overall it’s a great flat, in a location surrounded by plenty of walks eg dancing ledge and more on the south west coast path. We communicated with the owner as there was slight confusion over amenities and we also had to let them know the cafitere exploded too. On the amenities list it had hot tub when on arrival there was no hot tub, although on investigation this seemed to be a glitch/problem with Vrbo, rather than the host to be fair to them. The listing has since been updated.

This was a lovely comfortable flat with a comfy bed and all good facilities. It was nice to be in a village and close to walks to the coast and a short distance to Swanage. The area is tasteful, natural and not spoiled by poor development.

A good place for a short break
The bed was one of the most comfortable ever in the lovely big bedroom. Well equipped kitchen. Nice living room. Third bedroom, if used, not easily negotiable with step and ceiling issues. Would stay there again.

Thankyou I’m glad you found the bed comfortable and enjoyed the apartments well equipped kitchen and living room. We’ve never had any issues regarding the third bedroom as mainly children sleep in the 2 nd and third bedrooms. We do place a sign stating mind the step as you enter the room as the cottage is in the roof this room has a scaled ceiling. Fab weather for the folk festival and a busy Swanage to end a lovely summer.

Lovely place to stay in Langton Matravers
We had a fantastic holiday in Langton Matravers, staying in The Cottage. Well equipped, with a dishwasher and a washing machine. The host, Nicky was very quick to sort out two broken light bulbs. A great place to stay. Lots to do in the area, walks, beaches, pubs. Highly recommended and will be back.

Good enough
Easy to find but first surprise was a reminder on our 'welcome' email that bath towels were NOT included. No WiFi, no means of safely opening kitchen skylight and poor TV reception (occasional picture break-up). The accommodation is all upstairs with only the one entrance/exit - could be tricky to exit safely in event of fire. There was a nasty drain smell in the bathroom/washing machine area.

This was quite upsetting to read .... The welcome email on the website explains very clearly check in details, key safe number, check in times and a reminder about linen and towels etc. Just a polite detailed email explaining where to park giving post codes etc and hopefully helping you make the journey and the start to your holiday a pleasant one.. No WiFi is stated again on the website .. along with NO towels provided .. ( we never have had a problem before) !! When you book a property it is a really good idea to look at what the property has to offer as well as reading the previous reviews.. ( which are all very good 5 *) The smell was unfortunate and could have been easily resolved if you had contacted me and made me aware immediately of the problem. The roof window in the kitchen is approximately 12 feet up and even with a pole is incredibly difficult to open safely, this is why a pole is not provided. Due to the amazing weather (25-30 degrees) the atmospheric conditions clearly effected the signal of the TV which I apologise about but this was out of my control I’m afraid.. I’ve yet to stay in a first apartment with more than 1 entrance unless it has a roof garden. Fortunately living close by we are always able to address any concerns that may arise and have always kept our holiday guests very happy but communication is vital.

An adequately equipped property in an ideal location with direct access to coastal paths. Having a dedicated parking slot was a definite plus. Good pub within 5min walk and good range of amenities within a short drive.

Fabulous Cottage/Flat in Langton Matravers
We had a brilliant stay in the cottage, (first floor flat) in August. The cottage was clean, tidy and welcoming. A dishwasher was a bonus! Crockery all matched with nice cutlery. Good sofas and enough space to move around. Lovely shower. Would stay again. 😁

Nice little cottage
We had a lovely stay here. Clean, well equipped and good communication with owner. If you have teenagers, remember there is no WiFi available. I didn't find any takeaways that would deliver but the food at the Red Lion pub was lovely. Would have liked a little more space in the kitchen as we self cater a lot but the inclusion of a dishwasher was handy and very well stocked with cooking equipment. Loads of amazing walks, Corfe is stunning and the City Cruise boat trip to Poole Harbour was fab.

Stress free stay
This holiday flat had almost everything you could want, excellent location with the bus stop to Swanage and Poole right outside your door, if like me you want a break from driving. Footpaths all around, with one to Dancing Ledge right opposite the cottage. The flat was very well equipped and very clean and tidy with lots of thought gone into making your stay as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. For visitors with children there was a plethora of toys, games and videos to keep them occupied. We found washing up liquid, tinfoil, bin bags and cleaning materials provided (just the kind of things you forget when self catering), and some eggs, milk and breakfast cerial to get us started. Unfortunately, the flat doesn't have WiFi although the pub accross the road does and I can understand some may take advantage if WiFi was on tap at the flat. All in all a very enjoyable break in Langton and I would stay in this holiday flat again and reccomend it without hesitation. Thank you Nicky.

Very Well Equipped Cottage
My family had a really lovely holiday. Everything we needed was provided. With the hot weather the two fans provided were life savers. The children had plenty of play toys and board games. The beds were very comfortable. The neighbours were very friendly. Car parking space provided. The welcome gift of a box of tea bags and breakfast items was very thoughtful as was the washing machine and dishwasher tablets.
