The location of the cottage may present some challenges for less able people given the steepness of the road the property is one.

Had a great week at Puffin Lodge, from the moment we arrived we felt at home, was immaculately clean and very comfortable. Lovely welcome gift of treats from the owners, contact with them via text message to check we had everything we needed was appreciated. Location great for access to Swanage town and beaches and also for Durlston country park. The hill could be a challenge for anyone less mobile but we appreciated it for our daily work out!

We have been coming on holiday to Swanage for years and we couldn't really fault this property and we would definitely stay here again .If you do not know Swanage the only downside to this property is its location which is at the top of a steep hill , it doesn't bother me but my wife cannot manage the climb so I would park the car near the front every morning and drive back up .
