The Sloop in Swanage offers a central location with sea views, appreciated for its cleanliness and spaciousness. Guests enjoy the proximity to local amenities and the property's charm, despite some challenges with parking and accessibility for those with mobility issues.
Most guests found The Sloop clean and tidy, with only a few mentioning areas that could benefit from more attention. The overall impression is of a well-maintained property.
The location is highly praised for its central position in Swanage, sea views, and easy access to local restaurants and amenities. It's considered ideal for exploring the area.
Guests generally find the beds comfortable and the property spacious. However, some noted issues with thin towels and challenges for those with mobility problems due to internal steps.
The property is well-equipped, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as unreadable cooker dials, missing sink plugs, and a lack of storage. The small garage is also a recurring concern.
While some guests appreciated the provision of tea, coffee, and milk, there are no consistent mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate a level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score cannot be accurately assessed.

A lovely venue for a pre-Christmas weekend. The property was very clean & tidy & well presented. Heating hadnt been left on so was very chilly when we arrived but warmed up by the following afternoon. Parking was a challenge but luckily other apartments were not occupied so we used a space allocated to another neighbouring property as the allocated space was far too small for my Land Rover!
