Lovely cottage. Everything you need in kitchen but could do with extra mugs etc to save using the dishwasher with only quarter load
This is a lovely cottage in a fabulous location for just looking at the sea or walking the coastal path. It was clean, well equipped with very comfortable beds. There is good storage space for food, and a large fridge and freezer making it ideal for a one-off shopping delivery. A couple of small niggles. For a cottage that sleeps 5, there were too few glasses (only 2 or 3 wine glasses) and mugs to avoid constant washing up. Additionally, with the spectacular views available from the garden area, it was a shame there were no garden chairs or deck chairs other than those by the concrete table. We had a great holiday and would probably stay again.
Location is fantastic. Cottage is wonderful but the crockery & glassware badly needs replenishing.
Amazing location, peaceful, fantastic scenery and wildlife. Good facilities.
Fantastic location and great quality accommodation.
It is so beautiful : the cottage and the environment and the lovely cafe and the people!
Cottage beautifully presented and spotlessly clean in a fabulous location. Well done to the housekeeping person/team! We really enjoyed our stay. Points for improvement would be: 1) Insufficient bottled water provided considering that water from the tap couldn't be used for culinary purposes or drinking. We ran out despite not being full occupancy. 2) Crockery needs updating and expanding - cooking equipment was excellent but the crockery was sparse and a bit scrappy in appearance - although we weren't full occupancy it was barely enough 3) Welcome hamper rather poor - it might be better not to offer one than provide such a sad and not very useful pack. Rural retreats used to offer lovely welcome packs with bread, eggs etc. The teabags, although in an unopened box, were all mouldy and had to be thrown away. 4) It would be helpful to advise customers about the type of bedding used. One of our party was allergic to feathers and the pillows and duvets were all feather. We will enquire in advance for any future hirings so that we know to come prepared with alternative bedding, but listing feather bedding as a feature on properties might be helpful to others? Please accept these points intended as helpful feedback. We loved being at Anvil Point and attention to the above would make it an even better experience.
Outstanding property. Spotlessly clean with stunning views. Will definitely stay here again.
We loved it but would love it more just by adding some garden loungers đź‘Ť
Stunning location, general cleanliness and amenities good
Stunning cottage and surroundings. Magical legacy of these great landmarks always a joy. A real home from home, incredibly clean and comfortable with all needs considered. The area is absolutely crammed with beautiful places to visit and we hiked 60 miles in the week without driving more than 30 mins and some days not at all.
Absolutely loved this holiday. Second time of visiting in 11 months. It's one of the most idyllic places in the world. Red deer on the doorstep,.. beautiful.
The most amazing place - faultless in terms of location and quality of the accomodation. Would definitely return x
Lovely cottage. Very clean. Great views and fabulous setting.. perfect for dog walks.
High Standard of Cleanliness & Presentation. Superior Customer Service and Excellent Location of property
We arrived in very cold weather and one of our group was convalescing from a hospital stay. When we entered the cottage it was really warm and cosy, exactly what was needed. The place was very clean and a lovely touch was the Christmas tree in the sitting room with the fariy lights switched on ready for our arrival. The tea, coffee, milk, sugar, cookies and jam were very welcome, thank you. This cottage is definately remote and just how we like it, ideal for walking the coastal path or just chilling out. We enjoyed Christmas lunch on the steam train at Swanage which was excellent and there are some interesting independant shops in the town. On our last day it snowed!
Brilliant location, fantastic accomodation and furnishings. A one off experience.
It is a beautiful location and is very well appointed and comfortable accommodation. We did find the key safe by the front door difficult to operate and for winter visitors, they need to be advised to have a torch with them so they can see the key safe.
It is in the most amazing location and was comfortable, clean and well equipped.
The location is superb and the cottage is clean and welcoming. Shame about the change in content of the hamper. When did this happen as we were in a Rural Retreat cottage in May and still had bread, cereals, fruit juice, butter. Now none of those items plus I wouldn't call a packet of Tesco biscuits a local delicacy!

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
