Our long weekend at Rowena Cottage with Storm Darragh was lovely, it's warm and comfortable, well equipped and a great location but to say it was extremely windy is an under statement. We nearly got blown away! But having say that it was an amazing experience to be that close to the elements whilst being safe. It's somewhere we hope to return to in the summer when the sun's out and the sea is blue. Amazing scenery.

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.

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.

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!
