Guests say
The Mayflower in Swanage is generally praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location close to the town and beach. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, spaciousness, and extra touches like games and ample parking. While most experiences are positive, a few guests mention issues with maintenance and a damp smell, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
Most guests found the Mayflower to be clean and welcoming, with several positive remarks about its tidiness. However, a few reports of dampness and a musty smell slightly lower the score.
The location is highly praised for being close to the beach and town centre, making it an ideal spot for visitors looking to explore Swanage.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the property, noting the well-furnished rooms and cosy atmosphere. A few minor complaints about bedroom furniture and soft sofas do not significantly detract from the overall comfort.
The property is commended for its well-equipped kitchen and amenities like parking and games. Some maintenance issues, such as a problematic lock and the need for refreshment, are noted, leading to a slightly reduced score.
While guests appreciate the extra touches like cleaning products and loo rolls, there is no consistent mention of gifts such as wine or milk, and thus it cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for thoughtfulness based on the available reviews.

It is a decent sized 2 bed flat, had everything we needed, was very comfortable, and warm. It has a private parking space, plus we could also use the one next to it, and it's within 5 minutes walk into Swanage centre. A proper home from home.

The apartment hasn't changed much but needs a refresh. Dining chairs uncomfortable. Sofas to soft and dated. Bedroom furniture now old single bed broke because of previous poor repair and broke again two days later due to bad repair again. We were told new beds are due to replace these. Also we stayed for two weeks and usually the bed linen and towels are changed weekly at other places we have stayed in Swanage but not at this flat . Again great position and parking for beach but needs a refresh won't stop here again though .
