    “Dining room had mold and had an unpleasant smell.”

    We were unable to use this room. Rain came through the ceiling of the conservatory,, the floor had to be mopped and a bucket and pan used to catch the drips. The bricked area outside was quite slippery and uneven in parts. The stairs felt quite steep and would have benefited from a handrail on the left going up extended around the curve at the top. Despite all of this the house was comfy, warm and homely.

    Thank you for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed your stay! Regarding the points made above, we are lucky to have incredibly diligent housekeepers, no issues were reported regarding mould during the clean before your arrival and after your departure. But we will keep your feedback in mind going forward. Secondly, the outdoor brick courtyard and staircase are original features of this Victorian home. Although they add to the charm of the property your points have been noted, it may also have been due to the extremely wet weather that caused minor drips in the conservatory and water to sit in the courtyard. Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us. Property Owner

About the location

WAREHAM

Corfe Castle 5 miles; Poole 9 miles; Swanage 11 miles;

Wareham, affectionately known as the ‘Gateway to the Purbecks’ is an ancient Dorset waterside market town. Situated between the River Frome and quaintly named River Piddle, its charming riverside location makes the town a popular holiday destination. Dating back to Saxon times, the town was once surrounded by walls, and became an important port with boats bringing supplies up the River Frome from nearby Poole harbour. Today, the river provides a great playground, you can hire a boat from the attractive quayside and chug your way down the stream, take one of the regular organised boat trips, browse the colourful Saturday market or simply just enjoy an ice cream or a drink relaxing on the Quayside. Whilst seasonally there are also numerous popular events taking place beside the river. A short drive takes you to the Arne peninsula jutting out into Poole Harbour, a designated RSPB reserve, where you can stroll down to the water’s edge, taking in glimpses of the impressive bird population and often viewing some of the resident deer. The friendly seaside resort of Swanage is also easily accessible, where you can experience a traditional family-friendly day out on the beach, or take the coastal path and stop off for refreshment at Durlston Country Park. A real treat is to drive to nearby Corfe Castle and take the vintage steam railway to Swanage. Wareham offers visitors a super Dorset holiday destination at anytime of the year.
