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

Weve just returned from a fabulous week at Puffin Lodge. The property has been very tastefully refurbished to a very high spec. Much thought has been given to whats needed for a very comfortable stay. The welcome basket and milk were much appreciated after a long journey. Swanage is a fantastic base to explore Dorset. We visited Lyme Regis, CorfRead moree Castle, Weymouth and of course the stunning Durdle Door. Theres also much to explore in Swanage itself. Great communication from the owners. We look forward to returning to PL, thanks for a fabulous stay. Hide
