We all enjoyed the facilities of the garden, tvâs in the bedrooms, and close proximity to the sea and town. It was very well presented when we arrived, One criticism would be the bed pillows. Some were lumpy , not good or comfortable , Parking is a bit of a pain but when we found the long stay car park , it was very near the cottage and cost around £50 for the week. All in all we would recommend Seaforth for a stay in swanage.
