The holiday couldn't have been any better, the property is presented perfectly and the workmanship is to perfection let alone the amazing customer service we experienced. After numerous holidays in the same area paying more than this one or slightly less we always got the feeling that no one really cared and take it or leave it as there's no where else for you to go. We also had to highlight health and safety issues and missing important items and reminding places we were renting from that its not our job to check the inventory just because the last guests didn't complain you should be checking everything during the handover clean for the next guests to ensure its safe and has everything you're paying for as advertised. But no not here, its clean, well stocked and there's other household items that are provided for your comfort. The property owners cant be any more helpful and friendly and accommodating if you want to ask about something and very understanding with the dogs which is important to us. Lets put it this way, if all my bedrooms and facilities were this good in previous jobs as a 4 star hotel maintenance manager I'd be well pleased. Why cant the other lettings around Swanage be as nice and as well ran as this one? I'm sure there is but for around £1000 a week you expect quality and this what Coombe Orchard gives. When you take your dogs out its just out of the front door and round to the side on the drive through a gate, best keep supervising your dogs as there's wildlife the other side of the stone walls. This place is perfectly centred for travelling about and walks with your furry friends. Its just off the main road into Swanage, and just to note we were not disturbed by the traffic either. And bring some extra throws as your dogs will love the massive bed, i know ours did along with us too. There's a lovely spacious bathroom with power shower which maintains the right temperature which also doubles as a bath with underfloor heating. There's also plenty of instructions for everything and local maps for walks rather than being left to work it all out which is nice and thoughtful.

The cottage itself has everything you need, superb bathroom, comfy large bed. As for the garden, its huge, our dogs loved it, in the summer it must be awesome!!! The local pub, The Kings Arms, is less than 15 minutes away, great food & very welcoming locals. The cottage is a great location, close to Corfe Castle, Tyneham Village, Studland & Swanage Town. All in all a great break. Mark & Kim. 28/2/20 to 4/3/20

- Miss Nichols, October 2019
“Great cottage,great owners”

- Mr Sloman, October 2019
“Lovely cottage in excellent location”

This was our 2nd stay at this cottage, spotless, pet friendly cottage with lovely large secluded garden, delightful owners who provide quality accommodation with many extras such as quality toiletries which make your stay even more special - will definitely be visiting again!

- Safari669246, September 2019
“An exceedingly comfortable quality cottage with friendly and helpful hosts, perfectly situated for exploring the Purbecks on the edge of lovely Swanage.”

The large garden was a real bonus!

- Mrs Horlock, September 2019
“Really enjoyed staying here.”

It was convenient to all we wanted and had everything we needed. Owner John was very welcoming and friendly.

- Mrs Kershaw, September 2019
“This is our 2nd visit to this cottage and we will definitely visit again - superb pet friendly accomodation, spotless and very attractive with a lovely garden - delightful owners provide quality accomodation and make your stay even better with quality tojletries, lovely welcome package and even provided dog bowls and blankets if needed.”

The only thing I would say would make it even more desirable would be to provide wi-fi - I,m sad to say we did miss it over the week, but it really didn't spoil our enjoyment of this lovely place!

- Mrs Sobey, August 2019
“This cottage was in a great spot to access lots of walking above Swanage and the surrounding countryside.”

It was a really good base and it was very clean with a fantastic garden perfect for our dog. One thing that would have made it slightly better would have been if there was access to the garden directly from the back of the cottage and if there had been a small patio area.

- Mrs Vayro, August 2019
“Lovely holiday,weather was good.”

Excellent cottage as usual

- Mr St John, August 2019
“This was a beautiful holiday cottage.”

The owners was lovely and showed us around. Our dog was in her element with a beautiful big private garden. We had a lovely break and even when we arrived we had a big bottle of Prosecco milk tea coffee and the basics to get you started. Even the bathroom products are really good quality. I wouldn’t hesitate anybody to book this holiday cottage. As a family I would definitely return here as it was such a relaxing place.

- Mr Stewart, August 2019
“We couldn't have wished for a warmer welcome, and recieved most useful advice on places to visit.”

The location was great for us as there was so much to see in this part of Dorset without travelling more than 20 miles. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable with a great bath and shower. Loved seeing the deer in the garden... A real bonus.

- Mrs Judge, July 2019
“Mr & Mrs Curtis provide excellent facilities this has been our 6/7th visit and we are likely to come again as we love the resorts of the Isle of Purbeck.”

- Mr Imrie, July 2019
“What a little gem.”

Best place we have found over the last 6 years visiting Dorset. Spotlessly clean, everything you could want, very generous welcome gifts for us and our dog. Glorious garden for the dog. Easy access to Studland, which we love. Good food outlets in Swanage, and you must try ‘Love Cake’ in Swanage High St for afternoon tea. Do make sure you know there is no WiFi, but it didn’t spoil our holiday. Will be going back again to this little gem. Thanks Gill. Bill & Pat Marsden

- Mr Marsden, July 2019
“The cottage was perfect for two people we even took our big German Shepard with us, the walks in the area were great, the area is very dog friendly.”

The cottage was great for buses and train and only about 30 - 45 minutes walk into Swanage. The garden in the cottage was wonderful for us and the dog. The owners were very nice people and supplied things you didn't expect. Would be only too please to return there in the future.

- Mrs Canham, June 2019
“Ideal location for visiting all the local beauty spots.”

Very peaceful. Beautiful large garden for sole use of anyone staying there. Exceptionally clean and superbly equipped with everything you could wish for in a self catering holiday. Friendly, helpful owners Jill and John. Looking forward to visiting again.

- Mrs Stevens,
“A warm welcome at the property by Gill the owner.”

Fantastic garden, large and great for our two labradors to run around in. Also included table and chairs and loungers for our use. The property was clean and well laid out. It had plenty of space for hanging clothes and storing provisions with a very useful fridge, freezer and microwave. Lots of thoughtful extras made this property really stand out. Milk and biscuits, tea, coffee, gravy granules - little things but make such a difference. I had taken washing up liquid and air freshener but needn't have done. A quick tip - there is a hairdryer in one of the drawers. I didn't spot this until it was almost time to come home as hadn't needed to use that particular drawer. Handy location for Swanage. I would highly recommend this property and would revisit myself. Stayed August 2015

- Mrs Karen Froud,
“We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 days at Coobe Orchard, Swanage - the cottage was cosy, spotless, the facilities were excellent and it was lovely and peaceful, which is just what we wanted!”

The owner welcomed us when we arrived and she was more than happy for our dog to exercise in the large garden. We would thoroughly recommend it to any couple looking for a holiday in this lovely part of Dorset!

- Ms Vallance,

The cottage (Combe Orchard) that we rented was superb. Spotless inside with all modern fixtures and fittings. The enclosed garden was great for our 2 dogs to run around and play. The location was excellent for a base to visit all of the local sights and only a 20 minute walk to the coast.

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.
