    “The accommodation had everything you could need, all very clean, very spacious.”

    Bill and Shan were perfect hosts; there when you needed them and very friendly. I had a broken foot when we arrived and Bill even managed to supply a shower stool, which was great. The location was very good for all the places we had planned to visit and Bill made another suggestion that we took up. We would have given it a 5* review, the only negative comment we could make is that the mattress on the double bed downstairs is in need of replacement. Other than that, perfect.

    Thank you for your feedback and it is very useful . We are sorry the mattress was not to your liking, it is a n orthopaedic mattress, which is relatively new. We do find that mattresses are a personal issue and may not suit everyone. We have not received any issues regarding the mattress before, but we will check it ourselves and replace it if it is necessary. 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.

Note: This property only accepts children under 3's and over 12's due to the large pond on site.
