    Open plan with double bed in a single space with the kitchen and living area, and this could benefit from blackout curtains over the kitchen area as the morning light floods in.

    Well equipped kitchen. Clean and comfortable. Clever use of space. Helpful owner. Private covered parking area .Lots of local information

    Good value, great location, communicative host, well-equipped

    Everything was clean but there was some evidence of previous pets (a few hairs here and there on the sofa) as this is a pet-friendly property - not an issue for us, but could be for someone with a dog allergy. The good value price is reflective of the studio layout downstairs.

    We had a great stay at Magnolia. The location was perfect for an outdoors trip - in a quiet spot within walking distance on the pleasant river path to Wareham and at the gateway to many hiking routes and nature reserves. Richard was a great host, going above and beyond with communication before and during our stay. The property is well equipped with a full kitchen, seating areas and TV. Everything was clean, tidy and well-maintained, and we had everything we needed. We didn't get chance to use the bikes on offer but we really appreciated the availability. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was in good condition. We'd definitely stay again.

    Could do with a few more bits in the kitchen - pyrex dishes, roasting tins etc. Would've liked more room downstairs to chill - a big comfy sofa and a bigger TV. Upstairs space was wasted for us.

    Property was warm and cosy. Kitchen recycling. Good location with easy access to the beach, countryside and tourist spots. Close to basic amenities, shops etc. Was very quiet day and night.

    No significant issues.

    Good communication and a friendly welcome. Everything was really clean, a lovely space, liked the carport parking and electric gate, felt really safe and protected. Really liked being so close to Corfe Castle, Wareham and Arne heath land. Quiet, lovely small outside space to sit in, sheltered and private. Everything you need for a get nice weekend away. Perfect for walking in the area.

    There was nothing that we didn't like, we had a perfect holiday, thankyou.

    On arrival we were greeted by Richard who was extremely welcoming. LIVING - The mini home was set out lovely, double bed downstairs and 2 single beds and a Zbed upstairs. Maps and leaflets for activities can be found on the side so that you can plan memories during your stay. KITCHEN - was equipped with everything you need, even down to washing up liquid oven trays and measuring jugs. Fridge and freezer. Bathroom is located downstairs and is beautifully done (shower towels were provided). LOCATION - Magnolia is located within 20 - 40mins of fantastic and beautiful places to visit and situated in a quiet area for relaxing after a long day out. Definitely recommend staying here and we will be back soon, hopefully.

    There wasn't anything that we didn't like. If I was going to be super critical, proper salt, pepper, tea, coffee and sugar and extra loo roll would have been a nice added touch.

    Comfortable, well equipped accommodation with a friendly welcome.

    only slight downside , and it’s minimal but the bed wasn’t great to sleep on. although we are quite fussy sleepers.

    it was the perfect location! everything you would need for a short stay, it’s spacious and has all the basic facilities to get on with. The walk into Wareham town was a lovely little 15 minute stroll down the river which was great! Richard was really nice and met us on arrival and was super responsive when I messaged with questions.

    The single bad is a child size. The mattress of the double bed isn’t comfortable at all.. To get in to the property there’s Electric gate..made me confused to get in or get out. Also the shower room hasn’t got any heater. The bathroom is cold not nice in the winter time.

    Nice and clean little house for the family to stay..

    when I booked the property I managed to get a genius rate as I use booking .com on a Regular basis which was a saving of £15. I asked at the time of booking can we bring our small dog which the host said that was ok but the next day he knocked the door and said he did not know that we were bringing a dog and asked for an extra £15 which we paid but felt that he should have mentioned that at the time of the booking ? we felt quite embarrassed

    self contained and not in the main house
