Family get together by the sea
Beautiful location. Very well equipped house. Comfortable beds, nice linen and towels. Enough fridge space. Only thing was for 2 bathrooms and 9 people the hot water system was not quite sufficient. A couple of electric showers would have helped a lot.

Fantastic House
the house was perfect our a work team of 7. The flexibility of the bedrooms was amazing as we could have some of the beds split into twin beds. Fantastic living room with lots of space. Thoughtful Welcome Pack was also available there when we arrived. Everything we could possibly need was in the kitchen and simple instructions for things that we needed to know. Beautiful walks literally across the road. We would not hesitate to stay again.

Long weekend at Compass Cottage
We had a lovely stay at Compass Cottage and we were blessed with lovely weather too. Good accomodation for 5 friends, nice and sociable and plenty of seating/space in the lounge. Everything you need and a lovely sea view. One minor point - a little bit of overkill on all the notices left round the house - would be better kept all in one folder. There were so many it put me off reading them!

Absolutely Perfect
We had a group of 8 staying and up to 11 for dinner. The house was perfect and unbelievably well stocked. The owner was fantastic - making sure we arrived safely, the welcome gifts, Xmas trees all up. While the weather was wet and windy it did not stop us hiking the wonderful Jurassic coast path. Absolutely brilliant stay and cannot recommend this property highly enough. PS don't try and go up and down the steps at Houns Tout in 50 mph winds, calf deep mud and heavy rain. Terrifying!

Charming and comfortable
The property was well equipped particularly in the kitchen. Overall cleanliness good. Social areas are excellent for large family groups. Beds very comfortable. The village is lovely and cottage is in a peaceful setting but close enough to explore area's of interest. Cottage manager very helpful. All in all a very good autumn get-away.

Great Family Vacation
We had a great week at Worth Matravers it is a great base to explore the area with Swanage and Wareham not far. We travelled the coast easily and enjoyed some walks close By to Winspit Quarry. A great family vacation, the house was great for our family and if like us you are a big family then the use of the campsite at the top of the hill was perfect for us all to meet and enjoy a family holiday. The house had everything we needed, plenty cutlery and kitchen equipment, and we enjoyed evenings in the large lounge area a great space for catch ups, wine and games.

All You Need
Great property, spacious, clean , no shop nearby so need a car . Brilliant pub up the road but only does snacks. No restaurants in walking distance. Kitchen in property has a you need . Nearest shop in Swanage . Views are great , but not from back garden only from master bedroom and lounge. But bench out front. Lots of parking . Bathrooms could be up dated but all in working order. Overall a good quiet place to stay .

Great house and location
A fantastic location and ideal house for a family gathering. The house was comfortable and clean with plenty of living/dining space and very well equipped with everything we needed plus thoughtful touches. It was great for a young child with plenty of space to run around plus a clean, sturdy, comfortable cot provided - I mention this particularly because in my experience cots provided in hotels/holiday cottages are often awful! Highly recommended, I would happily return.
