We loved our week in Hazelnut cottage. The location was absolutely perfect and had footpaths going off in every direction.

A cute little cottage in beautiful spot, views for miles from the front, including Corfe Castle. Visiting at the end of Summer meant that the cottage was in need of some TLC, the walls are exceptionally thin between properties and you can hear everything that happens in the house next door, which is a shame as it partially ruined our time in the coRead morettage. The cottage itself is comfortable and has everything you need for a holiday, there is not a secure garden at the rear, as shared access. Hide

The cottage was lovely. It was homely, roomy and comfortable. The bedrooms were spacious and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was lovely with a powerful shower. The location was great with lovely views and just minutes from Swanage. We would definitely go back to Hazelnut Cottage again.

This is a cosy and comfortable cottage with good facilities, well equipped kitchen with lovely views. Although having the microwave on the fridge/freezer I found quite dangerous. We were also disappointed that the cottage wasn't decorated for Christmas as promised, and we had to purchase additional wood to be able to use the open fire.
