This was the perfect house for our family to stay in whilst attending a wedding at studland bay house. So much space and the garden was wonderful. We loved the proximity to the beach for morning swims and the location was great
We were 10 women of a certain age, away for a girlie/swimming weekend.
The house was absolutely lovely and accommodated us all perfectly.
Beautiful location.
Would thoroughly recommend.
The property is a stunning place to stay. As a family of 10 (3 generations) the house was perfect. The space inside and out was brilliant, ensuring that there was space for everyone to be together, but also spaces for people to have quiet time if required. We loved the amount of toys, games and outdoor equipment that was provided for us. The location was perfect, only a few minutes from the lovely beach. The information sent to us prior to our stay was great, giving us lots of information and tips about the house and local area. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The property is ideal for an extended family. Loads of bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms - to save embarrassing morning queues - and a lovely, big mature garden. All this within a few minutes walk from a great sandy beach, and a few minutes further to a great traditional seaside town centre.
Beautiful house with an amazing location only minutes from the beach, swanage town centre & the costal path. The house had plenty of space and all the facilies we needed.
I recommend this house for a family holiday. The location is perfect for a walk to the beach, shops and the South West Coastal Path. The facilities in the house are wonderful for all ages. We had plenty of room for all of us and enjoyed fun games in the garden. The owner was most helpful and easy to contact. Having never been to Swanage before we all loved it and will definitely return.
3 generation holiday in Swanage. The property was ideal (and has lovely Edwardian features) as it was located within easy walking distance of great beaches and the town. The accommodation worked really well with the two reception rooms permitting Frozen II to play in one whilst adults could relax in the other ! The Aga was a source of many conversations...it proved a bit of a challenge but was fun.
Lovely house and garden with many original features, we could all spread out. Everything was supplied from waste bags to a warm Aga!
Close to beach and bay. Host supplied all the information required and what shops supplied all necessities and suggested places to visit.
Ideal for a family or friends get together. Plus we had lovely weather.
We had a very comfortable stay in this beautifully presented large family home. It was very well equipped and had plenty of space for everyone. The location is great with a short walk to the beach and town.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021

Lovely spacious and very comfortable house
Six of us stayed for a 5 day cycling get-together. The house could easily accommodate more and with 2 sitting rooms there's plenty of space to chill out. The house was very clean, nicely decorated and furnished, warm, and despite it's size, cosy. We loved it and are already planning to return.

Wonderful family holiday home away from home
We absolutely loved our stay at the White House. It is the perfect location for a family holiday. Our stay felt as if very kind, generous friends had lent us their house for our holiday. So many lovely touches of things available for our use: for example an extremely well stocked kitchen, wonderful stores of toys and games, lots of beach toys, lovely furnishings and all wonderfully bright, clean, tidy and comfortable. We were 6 adults and 5 young children, and there was plenty of room for us all.
For me, a good night's sleep is so important, and the beds are all very comfortable and even though the rooms have beautiful big windows, they are kept dark at night with blackout curtains. For those sleeping in the lighter room there are eye masks provided - such a lovely touch.
The table in the kitchen is large enough for all the adults to sit around comfortably in the evening and the outdoors table is great for kids dinners or evening drinks, looking out to the views of the hills. The garden was bigger than we realised it would be, with lovely flower boarders.
The beach is a very easy walk away and we loved the size of the entrance porch - perfect for dumping our sandy buggy and toys and towels and keeping the house (relatively!) sand free. We were two families, both with double buggies, and they both fitted in the porch out of the way.
Swanage itself is a fantastic holiday location. Lots of beaches, both within walking distance and others a drive away. Great walks, fun attractions in the town and further afield.
We will most definitely return.

A very comfortable base, ideal to explore Purbeck
This beautiful house is ideally situated in the heart of Swanage and is the perfect base from which to explore the wonderful Isle of Purbeck. The immaculate grand reception rooms are complimented with sumptuous bedrooms and a very well equipped kitchen offering wonderful views of the Dorset countryside. We cant wait to go again!

Magical break in wondrous location and surrounding
We are a family of three generations who stayed in the property for three nights over a long weekend. We were given the warmest welcome by both Vicki and the house - I truly cannot recommend both enough!
The facilities and location were outstanding in every way. We loved the light, bright airy rooms and excellent facilities as well as the vast garden space and barbecue. The beach is a stones throw away allowing all to access it at day or night. We even managed an early morning swim!
The Steam train to Corfe Castle is a must activity and loved by all. Our short break was old fashioned memory making. We cannot thank Vicki enough for our stay. We truly cannot wait to return again very soon!

Outstanding property
Large party of adults (9) stayed at this Stunning house I can honestly say you will not regret staying here it marvellous.
The owner Vicki was very helpful prior to our stay.
We arrived at the house and from the moment you stepped inside you could not help but be impressed. Everyone was excited to explore. The house was gorgeous, spacious and we had the usual fight over the rooms, every room was such a good size. The main bedroom had a massive ensuite - this included a bath and separate shower enclosure with power shower, although there was another bath with a mixer tap and shower attachment in the main bathroom .
The kitchen was a lovely gathering place for meal times whilst cooking/eating meals - was slightly nervous of cooking at first, but absolutely loved the aga! Also amazing for when you want to warm up after your days activities.
The choice of two livings rooms meant we were spoilt for where to relax in the evenings some liked sport and others didn't.
The house is a short walk from the beach, and about Ten minutes from the main town/high street. The main supermarket is a Co-op which was short drive away in the town centre, or there was a corner shop within walking distance. There are loads of activities to enjoy and the local area is beautiful, Some great walks, bike routes, fishing trips, pitch and put the list goes on.
Our group absolutely loved our stay and would thoroughly recommend this property A holiday or even a long weekend, you won't be disappointed.
Now it's just a matter of time before we will return to enjoy once again.

Wonderful stay in a great location
The house was very spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean and in a super location with no parking restrictions. The garden was a bonus for our family reunion. Easy walk to the seafront and town. Vicki provided excellent comprehensive information about the property and Swanage area. Very efficient communication by email. I would highly recommend this property for a family holiday.

Fantastic holiday house & great location
We are a family with four kids aged 7 - 3 and spent a wonderful week in Swanage.
The house is everything you could ask for and more - lots of space and light, great layout and exceptionally clean; comfortable beds, great kitchen with AGA and well stocked with beach spades, nets, etc and board games, kids toys & dvds for rainy days. Fantastic garden too for sitting out and eating as well as playing and mucking about in. A lot of thought and consideration has gone into the house and it shows. Superb and straight forward communication with owner made it very easy to make arrangements too.
Location is unrivalled - perfect to walk to beach and everything you could need in Swanage. Hours spent digging in sand, jumping waves, crabbing. We had a great time getting the steam train from Swanage to Corfe and visiting the castle - a kids dream day out. A very short 5 minute drive to the stunning beaches of at Studland Bay too. And lots and lots to do - more than a weeks worth.....
A truly restorative week enjoyed by all - we very much hope to return. Thank you

Gorgeous house in a great location
We loved our stay, you won't regret staying in this house.
The owner Vicki was very helpful prior to our stay and after too; we arrived at the house and had to explore as soon as we put our bags down. The house was gorgeous, spacious and we had to fight for our rooms, all were a very good size. The main bedroom surprised us with a massive ensuite - this was where the main shower was, although there was in in bath shower elsewhere.
The kitchen was a lovely communal area for cooking and meals - loved the aga! Also amazing for when back after a swim or walk to warm up.
The choice of two livings rooms meant we were spoilt for where to relax in the evenings.
The house is a short walk from the beach, which was ideal for us. The main supermarket was a short drive away, or there was a corner shop within walking distance. There are loads of activities to enjoy and the local area is beautiful, great to explore.
We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend for families or friends for a long weekend, I bet a whole week would be even better.
We are now wondering when we can go back next!
