Fabulous property & host

We had such a lovely time in Swanage and our stay in Anvill Lodge made it even better. Cat & family are brilliant hosts and the location is perfect for exploring the beauty around this area.

Swanage short stay

Very clean and well equipped. Excellent kitchen and lounge.Close proximity to walking on the SW coastal trail. Other attractions - enjoyed steam train from Swanage to Corfe Castle, Purbeck Way, Old Harrys Rocks and Studland beach. Just 2 items that the house could have done with, scissors and hair dryer. Need to be aware that property is on an unmade road up a steep hill from the town.

Fantastic short break at the lovely lodge

The lodge is perfectly positioned on the coastal path for quick access to the sea and Swanage itself (about a 10 minute walk). The property was spotless and well appointed with a new kitchen and a great outside space to eat - including a BBQ, which was lovely!. Cat is very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed for the stay, including suggesting a great walk and pub stop in Worth Matravers. You can tell that she looks after the lodge well and had thought about what people might need while they’re there. Overall our stay was wonderful and this lodge is such a special find if you’re looking for a convenient base for some fantastic walks around the coast! Thank you for having us!
