The location is perfect, next to 2 pubs, 2 take aways & a convenience store. It has it's own private parking space at the rear & secure garden for our 2 dogs. Swanage town & beach is an easy 15 min walk but if you prefer there is a bus stop outside. There is loads to do in the area. There were 2 bathrooms in the bungalow - one en suit - which was very useful for us. The owner kindly set up some Xmas decorations for us & left a card, bottle of wine & chocolates which were very welcome ! We would definitely come back & recommend to others. The only things we needed were a few coat hooks in the porch to hang our wet coats when it rained but it's a great place & that's an observation not a complaint

- Mrs Stevenson, December 2019
“Sanjernin is in a good location.”

The property was well furnished and decorated. The beds were comfortable. The perpetrators was well equipped. We had no problems finding the bungalow and the gardens were dog secure. Unfortunately the property has a severe damp problem. The problem is not just one of insufficient ventilation in a property unoccupied for a while. The smell was bad and permeated all our clothes including outdoor coats which are difficult to desmell. The bedroom carpet in the front bedroom was wet by the window not just damp. There is significant mould growth in at least one corner of that bedroom, in the shower room, up the curtains in the sitting room and on the French windows. For someone on steroids this could be very serious. It is a shame because otherwise our stay at Sanjermin would have been very enjoyable. The weather was atrocious (from 26th Oct to 2nd Nov) and normally we might have stayed in and read books (there was a brilliant supply of these in the property). Instead we had to drive around in the car. We hope it will be possible to fix this problem as in other respects the property was just fine.

“Loved the bungalow it's was practically perfect for our requirements, the only thing that I would change if I could would be another parking space ( maybe a section of the large rear garden ) as I had the vehicle with the dogs in so needed the space at the rear to safely load and unload them , my mother and friend who are both getting on a bit sometimes struggled to find a space out the front , if if had just been the one vehicle though then it would have been perfect :-) We hadn't been given key / lock up instructions on departure so left it as we found it , thank you to Sykes and the Whites for helping us have a lovely holiday ( I've been home a day and I want to come back ) .”

- Mrs Brooke, October 2019
“No thanks.loved the whole area.”

- Mr Bibby, September 2019
“There was an inaccuracy of the access instructions on arrival.”

It states that we should enter by the front where as we needed to access by the back route via three other roads to get to the rear of the property. After a long journey this involved ringing Skye who were very helpful but it was, with little remaining phone battery that we managed to find our way around the back. A map should be sent to holiday makers

- Ms Dudley, September 2019
“Home from home, excellent accommodation.”

- Miss Collins, September 2019
“The bungalow was nice and spacious and we had a pleasant stay.”

The main improvement would have been to provide towels- it’s pretty old fashioned not to nowadays (and the listing wasn’t clear). Otherwise it was fine. Good heating and hot water and outside space.

- Mrs Moore, August 2019
“This our 3rd year staying at Sanjernin.”

We are very happy with everything and will be booking for 2020. The only thing that can make things even better would be if WiFi were available.

- Mrs Fairclough, July 2019
“High price for low quality accomadation.”

Where to start. First off, says in documentation, seaview. There is no way you can see the sea from this property. Description says towels provided. There were none, so we had to buy one along with washing up liquid. A note said we could use milk in the fridge to make a cup of tea on arrival, it curdled. The crockery and utensils were cheap and nasty and looked if they had been bought from a local jumble sale. There was so much clutter around we couldn't see how the property could be clean. The pillows must have been years old as none of them had any substance to them. The curtains in the front bedroom didn't close correctly. The flooring in the bathrooms was poor quality. The shower mat was filthy. The enamel was worn away on one of the washbasins. No wifi. The outside window sills and doors were filthy. One of the WC's had a permanent dribble on it and one of the taps had a constant drip. We wanted to make sandwiches but the can opener didn't work, so we had to throw the part opened can of tuna away along with six buttered slices of bread and go round to the petrol station to buy some. If you compare this property with another we rented in the New Forest, which was excellent, I would say that the rental charge should be nearer £500. It is also expensive compared to other similar properties in the area that we could have rented at a similar times through specialised cottage rental companies. Perhaps you should consider refunding us £300. About the only positive thing I could say is that it was in a good location and it was roomy, but that isn't the be all and end all.

- Mr Appleby, June 2019

Thank you for your feedback. The owner sends her apologies that towels were missing for your stay, had you advised her or the office we could have arranged for them to be dropped off for you. There is a full set of crockery and glasses at the property, the tin opener is an older version but works fine and the owner feels she provides all the basic cooking utensils at the property that guests may need. The curtain rails have been treated with WD40 and will now close with ease, and the pillows are changed at the end of every season. The bath mat is changed weekly for the comfort of guests and is freshly laundered once each booking has departed. Thank you for making the owner aware of the toilet, she has not been previously informed that it was not working efficiently by any other guests and will have this looked into. The property is classed as a 3 star and it does have all of the facilities that we would expect it to have for guests. The listing does not advise that the property as having wifi, but this is something the owner will look into. We are sorry that you were unhappy with your time at Sanjernin, both the owner and ourselves were on hand to assist with any issue that arose during your stay and it is regretful that we were not able to do this during your stay.

“Lovely place to stay close to town and beech, perfect for dogs.”

- Mrs Marchant, April 2019
“We had previously stayed at Sanjernin so we knew what we were going to get.”

The facilities are a little basic but overall it is clean, warm and good value for money and we would stay there again.

- Mr Cunningham, April 2019
“This is our second year staying in Sanjernin.”

We found the bungalow to be very well equipped, esp the kitchen. The bungalow is very clean, tidy and inviting. The Costcutter Supermarket is almost next door and had a very good Butchers counter. There is a bus stop outside Costcutter that takes you into Swanage. The is no Wifi in the bungalow but this is overcome with the use of your own Dongle We are looking to book for another two weeks next year. Stayed July 2018,

- Mrs Siobhan Fairclough,
“Another lovely relaxing week here, everything you need,and thanks to some lovely weather,breakfast on the patio most mornings.”

We will be back! thanks to the cleaner who made it spotless for us. Stayed May 2018

- Mrs Jenny Sutton,

Stayed October 2017.

- Mrs Jenny Sutton,
“Accommodation excellent and very spacious .”

Very clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this property. Good proximity to Swanage and to local shops.

- Mr Alan Fishwick,
“We have been coming to Swanage for many years.”

We were delighted with the high quality of SANJEMIN cottage. It was, by far the best accommodation that we have stayed in. We have even asked if we can book again for 2018– Stayed July 2017.

- Mrs Siobhan Fairclough,
“Probably our 10th time there and we have booked again for 1 week commencing 9th September.”

Says it all I think. Stayed March 2017

About the location

SWANAGE

Wareham 9.7 miles; Poole 20 miles.

The small, family-friendly seaside resort of Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck and is probably best known for its wonderful, gently shelving golden sands. The little town offers visitors plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and is also well known for its annual jazz festival, which takes place each July. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers, it’s a wonderful place to watch the world pass by. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a picturesque 6-mile journey, chugging through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. Nearby Durlston Country Park offers a lovely day out with spectacular coastal walks, dolphin spotting and wildlife watching, together with comfortable viewing points and a well-stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air. Take the short drive to Studland, which has one of the finest beaches in the country, surrounded by heathland, together with the regular chain ferry, which crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks. This truly is a delightful holiday destination at any time of the year.

Note: Steps up from parking area. Note: Towels are not provided. Note: No Wi-Fi
