Lilac Cottage

The Hoy's Leicester
Review Submitted: September 30, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The perfect cottage to stay in for your holiday, very clean and homely with a lovely back garden. Fully equiped for all your needs and just a short walk into the town and beach. Would highly recommend Lilac Cottage, we will certainly be going back next year....and the best bit, your dog is made welcome too!

Couple with young child Aug 2009

Review Submitted: August 21, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The property was exactly as described. Clean pleasant family friendly cottage, closely located to the town and beach.

For those who have never been to Swanage it is perfect for a british family holiday. Good atmosphere, beach excellent with plenty going on for kids. Most days we just walked down to the beach but there is also loads to do in the area, if the weather isnt as kind as it was to us.

Dealings with the owner were prompt and professional. We would certainly recommend this to friends.

Weekend Break

Suvic New Forest
Review Submitted: May 18, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This is so much more than just a holiday let as being the owner's seaside holiday home it comes equipped with just about everything you are likely to need. Only 5 minutes from town, downhill, perhaps a bit longer coming back uphill and only a few minutes walk to get out of the houses and into the countryside you can forget all about the car. And if you do not want to go anywhere just enjoy a bottle of wine in the sunny secluded garden.

A great Easter Break

Fleur, Paul and Dog Bella Essex
Review Submitted: April 24, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Lilac cottage were a perfect retreat for an Easter break. The cottage is so homely, clean and had all the mod cons needed and more. The garden had a BBQ and we enjoyed relaxing on the seats on the decking sorrounded by pretty bushes.

The cottage is so close to Swanage and perfect for the beach and lovely walks with our dog and very close to other local attractions. I would definately recommend lilac cottage and i thought that the owners had gone out of their way to make it home from home, allowing you to use CD's and games and leaving loads of information about the local attractions..

Charming home from home.

Judith, Sarah & Su Herefordshire
Review Submitted: March 9, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
A very well equipped,spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished cottage in a peaceful spot with a secluded paved garden. It was warm and welcoming when we visited at the beginning of March. Parking outside, though on a steep hill, made unpacking the car very easy, and must be a bonus in 'peak season'. Great area for families, with award winning beaches nearby, or couples who want to tour the Purbeck countryside. Wonderful coastal walking all around. Close to Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove and easy walking distance of Swanage. Highly recommended!
