Greenhaven - Swanage

An inviting, Dorset retreat, this modern hideaway embraces the best of coast and country. Situated in an elevated position above vibrant Swanage, it benefits from a peaceful setting while also enjoying good access to shops, eateries and the beach, just 0.5 miles away. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom holiday home nestles in leafy, mature gardens just 300 metres from the South West Coast Path and 1 mile from Durlston Country Park. Stroll 0.5 miles to the station to board a nostalgic steam train out to historic Corfe Castle, 6 miles out of Swanage. Make trips to the National Trust’s scenic Studland Bay, 4 miles away, with its beautiful, sandy beach, heathland and rolling dunes. Plan days out along the magnificent Jurassic Coast. Swim, snorkel and picnic at enchanting Lulworth Cove, 18 miles away. Pause to see the impressive, limestone arch of Durdle Door, 18.5 miles away, before returning to the cottage.

Tear yourselves away from the far-reaching views out along the coast towards Ballard Down and Old Harry Rocks, and enter this single-storey Dorset retreat. Climb the stone steps up to the front door and step inside to find light, airy accommodation that has been designed to maximise the far-reaching views. Wander into the L-shaped lounge/kitchen/diner, with its expansive windows and large, sliding doors opening onto a balcony with glass balustrades. Unwind in here on the soft seating to gaze out at the views or find a film for everyone to enjoy on the Smart TV. Head over to the kitchen area to prepare meals for your party with the fresh Dorset produce you have shopped for close by. Open the door to the garden to bring in a sea breeze. When you are ready to retire for the night, make your way through to one of the bedrooms. One of these is a king-size with zip-and-link beds that can also be arranged as a twin if discussed in advance. The second and third bedrooms are both twins. There is a separate WC, plus the family bathroom. One of the bedrooms has double doors to the garden. Wander outside here or via the back door.

Bask in the sunshine on the decking or follow the steps down to the lawned area, where there is ample space for children to play. Savour the scenery over a glass of chilled wine from the garden or balcony on fine days. There is off-road parking for three cars.
