Quarrier's Rest

Amazing place to stay, I come to Swanage every year but first time staying here.

It was such a lovely place to stay and very well equipped. Would come again!

The cottage was extremely well equipped and homely It was in a quiet location with all facilities nearby.

Swanage is an excellent base for a holiday and Quarriers rest an excellent cottage to stay

This is a fabulous holiday house.

Beautifully lena and extremely well equipped. The garden is totally secure which was great for peace of mind as we took our dog. The parking is on street but we never had a problem finding somewhere to park even it it wasn't directly outside. Very highly recommended to anyone

Lovely cottage, enjoyed it very much.

Perfect location for Swanage town, and all the sights locally.

Arrived to a lovely clean and cosy house , the kitchen had everything you could need , the bathroom had a good shower and a large bath .

The beds were good quality and very comfortable , slept very well . The street was quiet and parking was not a problem . The house was close to lovely country walks and beach walks and close to amenities . The black swan pub was excellent ( book in advance) , the Spar corner shop was very close by . Lovely stay thank you .

We had a wonderful stay at Quarriers Rest.

The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed – modern appliances, plenty of utensils, and a lovely layout that made cooking easy and enjoyable. It felt clean, spacious, and very well thought out. The bathroom was spotless and beautifully maintained, with a great shower and bath, and quality fittings. It really added to the comfort of the stay. The furnishings throughout the house were stylish, comfortable, and clearly chosen with care. The beds were very comfortable, and the living areas felt cosy yet spacious – a perfect place to relax after a day out. Overall, the property felt welcoming, well cared for, and finished to a high standard. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. It also had the added benefit of being 2 mins from a really excellent pub (Black Swan) and 10 mins walk to the town/beach.

This cottage was one of the best I have stayed in.

It was cosy, comfortable, clean and had everything you needed. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom had a big shower and a separate bath. The kitchen is well equipped. Its location is superb with an easy 5 minute walk to the town and beach. The garden was secure for our dog who can be a bit of an escape artist. We found the parking to be fine. I would have no hesitation in recommending Quarrier’s Rest and will definitely be coming back in the future.

What superb holiday cottage .

Thank you Very tastefully decorated , fully equipped and extremely comfortable beds . Great location in a beautiful area many wonderful walks . Recommend food in the Black Swan. Highly recommend the cottage . Thank you

!!

We had a very comfortable stay at Quarriers Rest last week.

Our daughter and grand daughter were also able join us for a few days. The house is very generously equipped and to a high standard. The road side parking could be quite restricted but we were able to find convenient spaces when we needed them, We appreciated the good level of instructions and local information. The nearest pub is very popular and needs to be booked well in advance.

Property was as listed and we had a great stay.

Only negatives were car parking (which was advised as being potentially difficult) and instructions for what to do with rubbish when leaving the property as they were rather ambiguous. Should we plan to stay in Swanage again, we would definitely rebook Quarrier's Rest.

Really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen.

House reasonably comfortable and in a quiet road. I have two minor quibbles, so here goes. 1. Is there room for a handrail up the entrance steps, which are steep? The front door needed a very firm tug to close, which nearly precipitated me backwards each time I left the property. 2. There is no need for cushions on the bed. They are wholly redundant and just gather dust. Little room in the smaller bedroom to put them away! Suggest you get rid of them.

The property was in a grest location to be able to walk 8 mins to town.

The house was very nicely decorated and the bed and bath linen were particularly nice. There was everything in the house you needed (maybe the microwave could be swapped for an air fryer). The shower was fab but grouting needed a refresh. The outside courtyard was a nice little sun trap but maybe needed a little TLC (flowers, chair cushions, weeding, swept). The front bedroom door needs adjusting so it will close properly without force.

Great cottage.

Well equipped and cosy. Short walk into town and sea front (10 mins)

In a nutshell my wife asked me to book another week but alas work calls as usual.

. Great location, great house to stay in had everything you need just like home. Great town and really friendly people and nice to be woken up by the gentle whistle of the steam train. Honestly 10 out of 10 and would even consider moving here

Very pretty cottage.

Very well equipped. Very comfortable. Great location.

We enjoyed our stay, lovely warm home, very comfortable especially the beds.

Thank you.

We had a fabulous wintry January stay in Quarriers Rest.

The house was excellent and very well equipped with all that you need. Thoroughly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage which was really clean, tidy, well equipped and very comfortable.

We went in October so parking was not too much of a problem but I should think in the height of the season that could become very difficult what with the street being so narrow.

Another fab stay.

We love the cottage. It's cosy and comfortable and in an ideal location for us. We like to be able to wander down to the quayside or further afield head up to Durlston. We also love to venture over to the beaches on Studland and of Course Corfe Castle is nearby too. We've already booked future visits. Thank you for making the cottage so special.

We have loved staying at Quarrier's Rest.

We loved it's location and the cottage itself was clean and comfortable and had every thing we needed. We will be back.

The property was clean and tidy.

The beds were very comfortable and lovely quilts and linen. Lounge comfortable for 3 but no real 4th seat if 4 adults do stay. Kitchen was fully equipped. Bathroom very adequate. Just one thing the garden was ok but there were so many snails over everything in the garden.

The publicity for this property was very misleading.

The photos give the impression of a light and airy interior whereas, apart from the kitchen which was well lit, the living room was dim and gloomy and cluttered with, presumably the owner's accumulated belongings. Also the description did not make clear that the stairs were narrow and steep which would make life difficult for anyone with impaired mobility - particularly since the two loos were upstairs. I am 87 and stayed heremost of the time alone, so that it was lucky that I could still climb the stairs - but not do things like, for example, carry my suitcase up to the bedroom.

Had a lovely week staying at Quarrier’s Rest.

The cottage was lovely and clean on arrival and the cottage had everything we needed - a home from home. The cottage is well located with just a short walk into Swanage. We found parking around the cottage busy, however we never had any issues to park when returning from day trips. We love Swanage and would definitely stay again! A great holiday cottage with all that you need.

Overall the cottage was fine .

In the online description it said cloakroom,in my book a cloakroom is downstairs this one was on the landing next to the bathroom,I thought it was a bit misleading one of the reasons I booked this cottage was because of having to go upstairs for the loo was a problem when you have to go quickly. The outside area was dirty , varnish peeling off the bench the table was broken and wobbly and the chairs very uncomfortable. All things considered we would not book this cottage again.

Overall a lovely property with good facilities.

We were able to walk to the town and beach. However the bathroom toilet had not been cleaned at the back properly and was gross. Also the property slept four people but only had three comfy chairs. We put the rubbish out for collection as instructed to find animals had strewn it all over the road in the night, so we had to go out and sweep it all up. A local person was telling us of canvas bags some residents used as apparently this is a common problem.

House well equipped and comfortable but area noisy, barking dogs, screaming children and house close by being renovated.

When refuse bags was put out the night before as instructed it was torn open by foxes and gulls and scattered along the street which we then had to clear up the next morning .

Good position for the town (10 minute walk).

On road parking wasn’t an issue. Cottage very clean and comfortable

Great property, well furnished and slightly quirky.

Would recommend to family and friends.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful place.

Loved our stay. We've been several times before and we will be back!

Gorgeous property.

Clean and warm with everything we needed. No problem with parking at all. Loved the pub on the corner, the Black Swan and the coffee shop, Love Cakes. Swanage is really lovely, even when the weather isn’t the best. We had a really great stay. Thank you.

We were happy to be back at Quarriers Rest.

Everything as we remembered it. Clean, comfortable and great location.

We regularly stay in Swanage and we can say that Quarriers is by far the best location we have stayed in.

Fantastic location, wonderfully kitted out and we felt very much at home from the moment we stepped in. Parking is the norm in Swanage but we managed to park outside after the first day. We really look forward to returning. Thanks also for being dog friendly, Gracie definitely approved.

The cottage was lovely Perfect position for beach and the town ( walking distance) Everything in the cottage that you would require for a nice holiday Lovely bed , nice clean sheets and towels Everything spotless Will definitely book again

Excellent all round.

Exceeded our expectations. Beautifully presented. Love its location. We were new to Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck and have fallen in love with the area. We'll be back! Thank you for the welcome pack, it was gratefully appreciated.

Excellent just like home from home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Quarrier’s Rest.

Wonderful facilities and not a speck of dust or dirt in sight. The cottage is tranquil whilst also being close to all of the amenities. We would definitely consider staying here again.

This property looks like it has recently been refurbished, with immaculate paintwork and all the fixtures and fittings in excellent condition.

Downstairs, the sofa is and chair are very comfortable and the equipment in the kitchen is of a very good standard and is very well equipped. Even a Weber barbecue on the back garden. The garden is fully enclosed and dog secure. Upstairs, the beds are very comfortable with a good amount of space in the rooms. The bathroom is especially nice, very spacious with a corner bath and a very large separate shower. Ours was a very enjoyable stay, we would definitely stay here again.

The property was great.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable, lovely calm colours. Parking was a bit of an issue, but we managed - cheering when we grabbed a spot outside the house on the last night! Oh and there was no milk pan so scrambled eggs took three days to clean the pan!!
