About this property

Refurbished house, close to the beach, quiet central location

Contemporary, renovated, well equipped house in a quiet cul-de-sac in the centre of Swanage, very close to the beach. The house has been renovated to a high standard and offers 3 bedrooms, 1 King Size, 1 double and two single beds (travel cot also available). The bathroom has a separate shower and corner bath. The newly fitted kitchen includes a dishwasher and washing machine/tumble dryer, double oven and microwave. The Lounge/Diner has a new large sofa and two comfortable chairs with a modern WIfi enabled TV and DVD player with plenty of DVDs. There are plenty of childrens games, toys and books and equipment for the beach. WIFI is included. There is a small courtyard garden with table and chairs. The house is set over three floors. The top floor where there is one bedroom has steeper stairs so not advised for elderly guests. The first floor has two bedrooms where stairs are standard.

The house is just a few moments walk from the long sandy beach, the shops, cafes and restaurants, the Victorian Pier and the Steam Railway. Corfe Castle, Durlston Country Park, Studland Bay, Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island, The Blue Pool, Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove are only short distances away. Children are very welcome but sorry no pets.
Parking is on the road and is unrestricted but does have limited spaces. There are other unrestricted roads nearby or a car park 7 minutes walk away (£50 for the week). The advantage is we are close to everything in Swanage. We don’t tend to need the car once in Swanage. Guests appreciate how close we are to all the amenities of Swanage.

Good location , nice lounge and kitchen space. Top twin room good for children not so much for two adults. Parking outside can be tricky but overall very good stay for a weekend In Swanage this was my second booking on this property and I will reconsider in the future

Perfect break

We had a lovely week at the property. The location was perfect - so great to be so close to the beach and the town. Although we couldn’t park near the house, we found a spot up by the station just a few mins walk away. We would love to return!

Weekend visit to attend Folk Festival

Comfortable and well equipped holiday house in a great central location in Swanage! Although the weather wasn’t the best we enjoyed a few days away including a trip on the Waverley paddle steamer along the Jurassic coast.

Cosy cottage and central

We stayed over the New Year and would recommend, as Swanage stayed open and there was lots to see and do. The accommodation was perfect, being in the heart of town but still peaceful and close to beach. We found on street parking easy.
