Very clean Really lovely stay. There is parking for more than one car. I did ask but was told one car. Handy to know if more than 1 couple. Some cushions would be good in lounge as settees not good for back. Everything was lovely though. Would definitely stay again. ##### Frances J.

The property was spotless clean and the location supers with beautiful walks trough bluebell woods to Langton Mathers and the kings Arms pub. The steam train station is only a 5 minute walk away. Corfe castle is beautiful loved the Fox Inn pub. The walk from spyway carpark to Dancing Ledge and coast walk to Durlston Castle and Swanage recommended as was Studland. Defiantly would recommend this cottage. ##### Mark C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah S.

It was spotless and well equipped. The location is great for getting around and close to the steam railway. I was worried at first when I realised it is next to a caravan park but we didn’t hear a thing. It’s been so quiet here and we will return in the not so distant future. ##### Sarah S.

Haycraft Cottage is well appointed and very comfortable. The kitchen is new and has everything you need. The bathroom is fantastic. The only issue is that other parts are a little under lit, more lighting would be an improvement. Otherwise everything was perfect. The location is good, halfway between Swanage and Corfe Castle. Poole and Bournemouth not far, Studland Bay only a 15 min drive (dogs on lead on beach), Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door virtually around the corner. Lots of dog walks, especially from Corfe Castle to Haycraft Cottage. Good dog friendly pubs in the area, The Greyhound in Corfe Castle and The Halfway Inn (on the Wareham road) especially recommended. ##### ROGER This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen Oct 15, 2019 #### Excellent cottage, a good surprise at its size yet extremely comfy.
