We had a delightful stay at Court Farmhouse. The weather was good but it would be a great house even if the weather hadn’t have been. It was clean and very well kitted out with kitchen equipment, storage and toys/games/videos. There is plenty of space for 3 generations with children to play and move about. We loved the dining room/ kitchen link. The conservatory and utility is ideal for coat/boots and inevitable clutter. The two reception rooms are great to allow several activities at once. All the bedrooms are light and spacious. The stairs are very steep but there are stair gates top and bottom. Do remember it is a 10 minute walk to the seafront and small toddlers will find it a step. We took scooters and our 5 and 8 year old were whizzing along. There is space for a smallish car on site and also plenty of space in the street opposite. The shop over the road is handy and the co-op is on the way to the front. The garden is ok for sitting in and there is a fantastic playground not far away over the steam railway bridge. The beach is good for sandcastles and the sea is clear and only gently shelving. We loved Swanage and there is plenty for all ages in and around the town. Court Farmhouse is definitely a good base to stay in. - Mrs Keeling
