"We highly recommend Leap House a clean and comfortable home."
We found the beds comfy and the parking was fine for our estate car. Where the property is position is a few minutes walk from some lovely shops and restaurants and nice walks along the river. Wareham is also the most ideal place to explore other areas of Dorset we do plan to return. Thanks Becca

"Fantastic place to stay and would thoroughly recommend."
We really enjoyed our week exploring beautiful Wareham and Dorset. Leap House is just a stone's throw from the town centre but it was so quiet and peaceful. The house was really great - lovely private terrace at the back which we used every day; and the most comfortable beds and best equipped kitchen of any holiday cottage I've ever rented. (There was no washing machine, but that wasn't an issue for us at all as we were only there for a week).
Only a couple of very minor niggles - the parking at the rear was quite tight (we weren't able to get a spot on the road at all); and the 'hole' under the carpet just inside the doorway of the master bedroom really needs fixing! Still 10/10 from us :)
Thank you for taking the time to complete the feedback. It as lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Leap House. Regarding the issue with the 'hole' in the carpet, as soon as we were aware of this issue, house keeping were sent straight out and this has now been resolved. We look forward to welcoming you back to Leap House again. Property Owner

"A great property in a great location with everything needed for a comfortable stay for the whole family."
Plenty of space for a family of 4 (and more). Only negative is the parking space is very tight for a bigger car but with perseverance it wasn’t an issue.

"Leap House was the perfect holiday home for our post-lockdown family holiday - modern, spacious and super clean."
The location was perfect as it's just a couple of minutes walk down to the quay, and Wareham was a great place to be based to explore the local area. Having parking was a big bonus too as it made coming and going so much easier. I've already recommended Leap House to friends and family and we're thinking of booking again for next year as it's such a great spot!

"A lovely house about 1-2 minutes walk from the High Street, shops and restaurants."
There is parking with the house which is useful, it is very tight but we managed to park our Passat estate there. Would highly recommend

"Really great location and well equipped "home from home", though would be further enhanced by a radio/ sound bar and some blackout curtains (it got light very early!"
)
The house is well located for exploring Wareham and the surrounding Dorset coastline, yet is quiet and tucked away for peaceful nights.

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Leap House, it was extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and had everything you would need."
The beds especially were lovely and comfortable and cosy. The kitchen facilities were spot on, with every utensil you need. I felt very much at home. The only small issue we had was the parking, the car parking space at the back of the house is fine, it's just the neighbour does not leave you much room, its shared and the neighbour certainly did not make it easy to squeeze in. We did manage to park out the front of the house a couple of times, but those spaces are taken very quickly so it's down to pure luck. All in all we would definitely return, we loved Leap House.

"Lovely house in great location."
Could really have done with a washing machine as we had young children, a two week stay would have meant multiple trips to a launderette. Other than that it was very comfortable and a nice place to spend a week.

"Some soap to enable guests to wash their hands after using the lavatory would have been thoughtful."
My sister runs a holiday let and always provides this. Absolutely no welcome pack for guests at all......
The house was clean but it lacked atmosphere. It felt like an empty shell really.
I resent being asked to strip the beds at the end of our holiday in addition to making sure the place is left “clean and tidy”. You might as well pay me the cleaning fee.

"Leap House was lovely and comfortable, well-equipped and centrally located to the town."
It was just what we wanted to explore the local area from. We ate out in the town at several very nice restaurants/pubs but if we had wanted to cook the equipment and facilities looked excellent. It we visit this area again we would be happy to stay here.

"Very well situated house in Wareham centre, walks from the door into the surrounding countryside and all local amenities in the town plus regular bus services and a train station."
Comfortable and clean cottage with *most mod cons and dedicated off road parking for one car at the back of the house (parking on the street in front of the property is often possible depending on time of day and how busy the town is)
* it would be really great if there was a washing machine in the property/garage although there is a Laundrette in the town.

"Leap House is a lovely well maintained and well equipped property in a great location."
2 small things to note are that nearly all the bedding is feather. Very cosy but not so good if you have a feather allergy. The parking is ok and a bonus in this town but a bit tricky at first. We have a Ford Focus and we fitted in fine but anything larger would be a problem. Very little chance of on road parking outside the property, we only saw spaces on 2 occasions and not for long. As a possible alternative most of the town car parks have free overnight parking which was from 7pm until 10am. The location is lovely in the town of Wareham, great local facilities and lovely things to do locally. Specially recommend the walk around the town walls including a visit to St Martin's church, a visit to Arne bird reserve, a walk around Studland over the heath and back along the beach (don't miss Studland church a real gem!). Also Durlaston country park near Swanage which has a nice cafe serving good food. Our weather was very mixed but we found many lovely things to do.
(Owner Response) Thank you for your feedback. In regards to the bedding we can supply non feather on request of booking. With the parking, we note parking for 1 car, previous guests have been able to park larger vehicles such as VW Transporter Van and 4 by 4s. We hope you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"A very comfortable, exceptionally clean, nicely furnished property."
We'd be very happy to stay there again.
Black out curtains would be great as the blinds in the bedroom let in too much light. We found the two chairs in the dining room very low, whereas the bench was the correct height for the table.
The parking was good but a little tricky for a large car.

"Leap House is situated in a peaceful setting overlooking the Castle House Grounds yet was a short walk to the Quay and equally in another direction towards the lovely Walled Town of Wareham and local shops."
The accommodation delivered what it promised . It 's neutral decor and comfortable rooms were spotlessly clean. The lounge/diner was well furnished and the kitchen very well equipped with everything you would need if you wished to stay in and cook now and again. Bedrooms too No metal or plastic coat-hangers either but instead plenty of good quality non slip ones which although a small point were indicative of the attention to detail which makes a difference when away from home . Very importantly for us when we are away for a bit of 'R and R is the chance to get a good night's sleep. Here the beds very very comfortable with good pillows and lovely bedding.. We shall certainly return as we have family in Wareham and this is the ideal place to combine a family visit with a bit of a Jolly.

"Had a fantastic few days at Leap House earlier this month (March) It's town centre location and parking space made it a perfect base for exploring the town of Wareham with its interesting shops , pubs and plenty of places to eat."
Only a short drive to other attractions such as Corfe Castle with its preserved railway link to the seaside town of Swanage, or Monkey World and the Tank museum also only a few miles from Wareham. Leap house was warm and comfortable with a modern look to the decor and great kitchen! It was perfect for our party of three although the front double bedroom lacked wardrobe space. Not a problem in our case as we used redundant space in the other rooms. Altogether an enjoyable holiday !
