FAQs

How many people does 21W sleep?

21W has a maximum advertised capacity of 16 guests across seven bedrooms in the main house and detached annexe. The provider also lists sofa beds in the lounge and snug, but these should not be assumed to increase the current maximum occupancy above 16.

Does 21W have a hot tub?

Yes. The enclosed rear garden has a Jacuzzi spa tub alongside the lawn, patio and outdoor dining area.

Does 21W have a games room?

There is a dedicated games and snug area with a pool table, darts board, television, games console, games and books.

Is 21W dog friendly?

Yes. Pets are accepted at 21W, and the rear garden is enclosed. The provider does not currently state a maximum number of dogs on the main listing, so this should be checked when booking if travelling with several pets.

How far is 21W from Sandbanks Beach?

Toad Hall lists Sandbanks Beach at approximately three miles from the property. Canford Cliffs Beach and Branksome Chine Beach are both around two miles away.

Are parties allowed at 21W?

No. The property is in a quiet residential area and the booking provider specifically states that parties, large gatherings, hen parties and stag parties are not permitted. Quiet hours run from 10pm until 8am.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms at 21W

21W provides seven bedrooms across the main house and detached garden annexe, with a combination of super-king, king, twin, bunk and double accommodation. Several rooms are en-suite, while two of the first-floor bedrooms can be arranged as either twins or super-king rooms, giving larger family groups useful flexibility.

How does the bedroom layout work for 16 guests?

The permanent bedroom layout itself can accommodate the advertised maximum of 16 guests. This includes four guests in the bunk room, which has a double bed, single bunk above and pull-out trundle.

The detached annexe sleeps two and has its own double bedroom, shower room, kitchenette and lounge. This can work particularly well for grandparents, another couple or part of a multi-generational group who would benefit from having a separate space while remaining within the same property.

The provider also mentions sofa beds in the main lounge and snug. Because the live booking system currently caps occupancy at 16 guests, I would treat these as flexible sleeping options rather than additional capacity.

How many bathrooms does 21W have?

The headline property information currently lists six bathrooms. The detailed accommodation description also refers to a separate ground-floor shower room in addition to the family bathroom and bedroom en-suites, so guests with a specific bathroom requirement should confirm the exact configuration with Toad Hall Cottages before booking.

Facilities & Information at 21W

The main social space at 21W combines the kitchen, dining area, games area and snug. The kitchen has a double oven, large hob, American-style fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave and breakfast island, while the dining tables can be arranged in different configurations for larger groups.

There is also a separate lounge with a wood burner and television, plus the games area with pool table, darts, games console and books. A utility room contains a washing machine, tumble dryer and an additional tabletop oven. WiFi is included.

Outside, the enclosed garden provides a large lawn, summer house, Jacuzzi, mini orchard seating area and a substantial patio with dining furniture and gas barbecue. There is also an outdoor shower, which can be useful after beach trips.
