Swanage Driftwood, Swanage

5 stars Beautiful house in beautifully surroundings, as a family of 10, we could not fault anything, cleanliness was superb, so well done the cleaners, location superb, facilities superb, a must stay for families who love Swanage. For the price, I could not wish for anything more, I will definitely be booking again and also highly recommending it to friends and family. I've been visiting Swanage for just over 50 years, and apart from staying at the Grosvenor Hotel back in the early 80s, the Driftwood will now be my new favourite place to stay..

This house ticked all the boxes, with plenty of space for everyone. We stayed over Christmas and there was even a Christmas tree provided. The downstairs utility room was great for kicking off muddy shoes and hanging up coats. The kitchen was well equipped they even provided foil turkey trays, as well as a hamper of lovely goodies. The location was perfect, and we loved our stay.

Lovely, comfortable house in the middle of Swanage. We were eight and there was plenty of room for all of us. Very good communication from the owners and some lovely little touches that made our stay very enjoyable. Thank you.

Wonderful property, great location. Already booked again for next year. 3rd year in a row. Utility area downstairs is a real bonus for the property x

Great property with lots of space for 8 of us, location the best weve had in a dozen visits to Swanage, you cant get more central. The house has a lovely homely feel and you can tell the owners really care. Its modern and comfy. Have booked again for next year.

It was a perfect house for a family weekend away. Room for everyone, great location for those who cant walk easily in the family. Perfect !

Great property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely accommodation and a nice little treat was on the table when we arrived. The property was spotless and really felt at home. We had one minor issue which Martin resolved in about 30 minutes of giving him a cal. Very professional and a lovely owner. We can't wait to re book for another visit. We'll placed and close to all shops and the beach

A beautiful house with plenty of space for our 3 family groups. Great open plan livingkitchen area. Perfect location in the centre of town. Car parking was affordable and easily available in the nearby car park. We had a wonderful weekend in this lovely property.

This was our 5th year of staying at this house. Its ideal for our family needs and so close to the town etc . We had a problem with the heating at first but the owner came to correct it straight away. Very happy

Great house for large group. Plenty of room for everyone. Great location just yards away from high street and seafront. Would highly recommend

We love Driftwood, this was our third stay here and it is such a beautiful house in a great location. The welcome pack was lovely and it was personalised to acknowledge that we had stayed before. Just in case you were unaware the locks did not work on the bathroom doors downstairs and the little bathroom on the top floor, so maybe this could be fixed for future guests. This house is very special as is Swanage and we will definitely be back to enjoy it again!!

Wonderful property in a great location. Plenty of room for the 10 of us. Utility room ideal for leaving beach equipment, shoes etc. Great communication from hosts. Booked again for next year xx

Having stayed last year as well. Loved the location, shame no parking with the property is the only downfall but always found somewhere if not close to the property. House size perfect for our large family. Beds comfy and equipped well.

We found the toilettes upstairs and in the on suite challenging for men because of the sloping ceilings, you had to arch your back! The oven wasnt clean and the filter in the tumble drier was jammed solid I found three brass rings, a pile of sand and the fluff was dried solid! The water in the shower in the on suite didnt run away so you were standing in over an inch of water.

We had a lovely stay at Driftwood . It is such a lovely house in a lovely location with everything we could have wanted for our stay xxx There were 9 of us and at no point did we feel like we were under each others feet so that was brilliant

We had a three generation family holiday in Driftwood, Swanage and it was perfect for everyone. Theres plenty of space, the three bathrooms are brilliant no waiting for your turn. The kitchen is really well equipped we dont cook on holiday but if you want to theres lots of pans, dishes etc. The utility room is a bonus and we put all our sandy gear in there and made use of the washing facilities. Great property in a handy location. We didnt need the car when we stayed in Swanage as the beach is just down the road.

We really enjoyed our stay at Driftwood. The location was brilliant, just a few steps from the shops, restaurants & sea. Driftwood was perfect for all of us, the children enjoyed sitting around the big table together. We had everything there for all to enjoy. The only thing that wasnt good was whoever used the oven before us had left it very dirty. We didnt clean it & left it how we found it. The scones & clotted cream were much appreciated. Not sure if we would need such a big house next time but if we did we would certainly book to stay again. Mr & Mrs C. Kirby

Lovely property ,we love the fact when you come out the front door and turn the corner you have views of the sea and town centre is 5 min walk away. There are 2 patio areas where we loved sitting in the evening but they could do with a bit of garden maintenance, but apart from that we had a great holiday experience.

Great stay lovely property in a convenient location

Relaxing accommodation and location was fantastic to enjoy Swanage. Great holiday for kids and my 3 year old grandson was overjoyed when he found the Brio train set. Took up most of the lounge area! Not having parking was inconvenient but always managed to park elsewhere. Broad Street car park very close but didnt need to use the car unless venturing out of Swanage.

This property is beautifully decorated and furnished and is in a central location with close access to shops and beach. However, there isnt a large enough outside space for everyone staying in the house to sit and gather together, and there was no parking. The garage is used as a utility room. The bedroom on the first floor is large but there is no bathroomensuite on this floor so we had to use the 2nd floor bathroom because the ground floor one has no shower. As it is in the attic, its sloping ceiling meant my son and husband who are over 6ft tall had to tilt their head every time they used the toilet. The sink is very small and it was difficult to have a wet shave in it. Plus there was no shelf or cabinet for toiletries so they had to be left on the floor under the sink. It would however be suitable for children. The property would benefit from a shower over the bath in the ground floor bathroom, especially as it is the largest bathroom. We couldnt fault the ground floor king size bedroom with ensuite and patio area. The kitchen didnt have any pint glasses for a pint of beer or squash. There wasnt a sharp knife or set of knives so we had to use the only knife there which wasnt very sharp. We wanted to tenderise some meat for a meal and there wasnt anything to do this with, no tenderising mallet or rolling pin. The property had only one clothes airer which wasnt enough for the amount of people using the property, and the internet also kept dropping. The open plan kitchendiningliving room is a nice large space. The property is more suited to two families with young children and not teenagers.

Fantastic house, much bigger than expected and so well set out with everything you could possibly need and more. Big spacious airy bedrooms, well equipped kitchen with all appliances, plenty of bathrooms for everyone, two separate outdoor areas and an amazing garage to store all your beach stuff. Perfect for large families or for more than one family to share. Lovely and clean and beautiful furniture and fittings. Right in the centre of town so perfect location Id highly recommend staying here. We didnt want to leave driftwood and will definitely be returning. The only negatives are that its noisy at night time when you are trying to sleep as its situated behind a couple of pubs bars where people are drinking outside, and parking is a bit tricky as its double yellow lines right outside. Street parking can be found a short walk away. But its expected due to the fantastic location of being so close to the town and the beach. We didnt use our car all week!

We had a wonderful weekend at Driftwood for my mums 70th birthday. We are a party of 10 6 adults, 4 teenagers and I was slightly worried that the house would be a bit small for us but it was not. The pictures online of the living space and kitchen dont really do it justice, its bigger than it looks. The location is fantastic, very central to everything you could want and the house is beautifully presented and very well equipped. Cant recommend this place enough.

An excellent property right in the heart of the town. We never moved the car the whole of our stay and we were able to either walk or get the train for our days out. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again with family.

Such a brilliant location at my familys favourite place. We hope to be back next year

The location of the house could not have been better. The facilities within the house were exceptional. If I could change anything it would be the check in time...500pm was really late. But other than that I have nothing but praise for Dreams and the house.

A fantastic holiday at Driftwood. The property is lovely, all the rooms have a high quality finish and the space works very well. Location is great, right in the centre of Swanage and only a few minutes walk from the beach and all the shops. Only drawback of the location is the amount of late night noise from at least one local bar. Not much the owners can do about this, but it would annoy some guests more than us. Overall though Id recommend this property, we had a great holiday and staying at Driftwood helped to make it memorable.

We had a lovely time staying in Driftwood, Swanage, perfect location, everything was there to make our stay special, thank you for the items left for us especially the lovely bread and yummy apple cake.

The location of Driftwood is perfect & the open plan living suited us perfectly. We wouldnt hesitate to come back & stay here again.

We had a lovely week in Swanage Driftwood. The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The big loungedining roomkitchen area was great for the whole family to enjoy together in the evening.

The layout of the house was perfect for 10 people. The kitchen and utility facilities were excellent. The property has been well thought out to enable storage and cleaning of beach equipment.

Lovely Cottage, Swanage is a great town and the area has so much to see, will definitely come back. Thank you.

Great location for walking the South Coast path, lots of places to visit, especially Corfe Castle. The house was within walking distance of the town which was great. The town had a great selection of places to eat and lots of shops. A lovely beach and pier which was great to walk on any time of the day.

Driftwood is an excellent property we had a great time and would certainly return. It was very comfortable and well equipped and particularly nice in our case that the owners had thought of families and children, with some lovely childrens toys, childrens plates and cups and a good high chair etc. There are a three minor points which may be helpful for future visitors 1 The garage is really not suitable for storing a car unless your car is very tiny. It would be good to make clear on the details that the parking for one small car is in fact an internal garage. As it happens, the long stay car park 2 mins walk around the corner is good value we paid 33 for the week, and the garage is then a very useful space for pushchair, coats, shoes and general family clobber. 2 The Delonghi kettle is very stylish but is possibly the slowest pouring kettle in the universe! We got the old spare plastic one out from under the sink and used that instead! 3 The information booklet in the property doesnt say anything about recycling, only about what to do with the black general waste bin. We filled up the recycling wheelie bin and glass container, but didnt know what if anything to do with it. Many thanks for an excellent stay.

Our party of 6 ladies on a girlie weekend thoroughly enjoyed Swanage. Driftwood was fantastic and offered us everything we needed. The house was extremely well equipped and comfortable. The garage was a bit snug but we knew that would be the case and we managed to find on street parking close by for our second car. The bathroom on the top floor was a bit 'cosy' and it was a shame the big bathroom on the ground floor didn't have an overhead shower but this certainly didn't spoil anything and we were impressed by the constant supply of hot water. The goodies left for us on arrival were much appreciated. The location was perfect so close to the High Street with its terrific selection of pubs and restaurants. A great base for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend exploring Swanage!

Ideal property for family holiday with good size rooms, ample clean linen, crockery, glasses etc plus good facilities fridges, dish washer, TV etc. Excellent location close to town and beach and also headland area and cost path. Parking very limited but we expected that and there was a large carpark nearby plus free onstreet parking when the daytrippers had gone.
