The Mount

This house sounds amazing and it certainly lives up to expectations! From the moment we stepped through the lovely front door we felt at home . It is grand but welcoming and extremely comfortable and a family group of 10 adults 3 toddlers and 2 dogs were accommodated with ease. The location is excellent being close to the charming seaside town and within a spit and a stride of stunning coastal paths and the country park I think of all the large family holiday homes we have stayed in over several years this one really does come out tops and I would heartily recommend it !

The Mount is the most perfect house for a large group - we were 14 adults, 2 children and a dog. There is loads of space, comfy beds, masses of hot water, plenty of plates, mugs etc and 2 dishwashers! It is the little touches that make the difference and make The Mount so special - fluffy towels and bathrobes for everyone, a beautiful garden, toys, books and games for all ages, really well equipped kitchen, washing machine etc. We have already re-booked for 2019!

Huge house with great facilities (including snooker table) that comfortably fit all 14 of us. Plus the Hosts are lovely - after foolishly leaving a single shoe behind, Elaine kindly sent it back to us free of charge.

We have just had a lovely family Xmas at this superbly equipped property. There were 16 of us in our party and its size was more than adequate for our needs. The house has some lovely period features and has that real lived in feel. Everything worked well and the hosts Elaine and Carl were extremely friendly and attentive, catering for all our needs. I can thoroughly recommend The Mount which is ideally situated in Swanage which has a rich and fascinating history and is surrounded by some beautiful countryside.

Our large group of eight adults, three children and two dogs enjoyed a wonderful week at The Mount in August. As we were celebrating several events (birthdays and retirement) other members of our extended family joined us in the gorgeous garden for lunches and games afternoons. The house is so spacious and very well equipped providing everything we could have wished for! We enjoyed walks to the beach and nearby Country Park, played croquet, badminton and cricket and had plenty of space to rest and relax when we needed it! Elaine and Carl helped to make our week at The Mount a memorable one!
