    Stairs were awkward but manageable. Lack of recycling facilities, especially food waste.

    Access to the Common at the rear of the property. Close to shops, pubs and other amenities. Bus stop close by. Great location for the local area.

    Lovely cottage, lovely location but the big negative for us was the stairs? You couldn't fault the house for fixtures and fitting, every thing was provided to make your holiday comfortable. However with bedrooms upstairs and bathroom downstairs you can't ignore the stairs multiple times a day. The stairs are steep, with small treads and unsuitable handrail makes up and down very physically challenging. So if you have any mobility issues or young children then perhaps give this rental a miss? Rear Garden was good with gated access to common land and footpath to centre of Corfe. However the moles have taken over the large rear garden lawn area making it less enjoyable to use.

    Liked the location, comfy living room & large back garden leading out onto the common. Only major downside was having the bathroom downstairs and bedrooms upstairs so having to negotiate steep narrow staircase to get to/from bathroom at night.

    The downstairs toilet was a bit of an inconvenience at night. Some instructions on how to work the oven would have been useful (we got there in the end 😃)

    Great location, easy to walk to the village and opposite a lovely pub. The beds were really comfortable and we all slept really well. The kitchen had everything we needed and the cottage was beautifully clean. The garden was HUGE and had lovely views.

    Unfortunately, as the cottage is on a busy road, when sitting in the living room in the evening, it is very noisy, which cant be helped, however there are big gaps around the front door which let in the noise and some drafts. Some draft insulation around the door and a heavy curtain across the front door would be ideal. The traffic quietens down after 11pm and we always got a good nights sleep. The 'welcome' folder wasn't found until we had been there two days, It had been put on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf behind the dining room table...suggestion would be to leave it on the coffee table. Heated towel rail in the bathroom didn't work but the electric heater soon warmed the room up.

    The beds were super comfy...had the most amazing nights sleep. Lovely hot shower. The cottage had a cosy feel and once the heating was on it was very warm. Although on a busy road it was just a short walk into the village. The cottage was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed. By the end of the week, it felt like home and we were sad to leave.

    The key-safe took several attempts to open. The stairs required care owing to their steepness and would not be suitable for anyone with impaired mobility or balance.

    The location was perfect. A bus-stop close to the front door, the centre of the town close by and the back garden leading onto the common with a network of paths.

    There was no freezer which was a bit awkward being as we had taken frozen food with us. Although the fridge worked well and there was a small freezer compartment. The toilet/bathroom door did not lock and the rental company changed the handle but unfortunately it still did not lock. Also toilet paper did not flush from the pan. The rental company were aware and planned to rectify these minor issues. Don,t let this put you off booking.

    Location was great with plenty of places to eat and drink. Charming village which we had visited before. property was great apart from a few niggles which didnt spoil our stay (see below)

    stairs are very steep (we were aware prior and made decision two members of family would cope). no mirror in main bedroom- minor point little space to hang wet towels.

    location, cleanliness, downstairs was great as was the lovely garden out to fields at the rear.
