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.

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!

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.

Great holiday home in perfect location

This is now the second time we have stayed at this property and we find this house a perfect base for our holiday in Swanage. The house is in a fantastic quiet spot and very close to everything. No need for a car unless you wanted to travel out of the area however the bus stop and train line are a very short walk (5 mins max) from the house. We had another very comfortable stay here and there are so many extras, like toys, dvd’s and beach items that can be used along with a fully equipped kitchen. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

About the host

Hosted by Katie

Host profile image
We have been coming on holiday to Swanage for the last 8 years and this is our holiday home from home. As a result the house is very well furnished for a holiday house. We love visiting Swanage as the area is so beautiful and there is so much to do whatever you are interested in.

Why they chose this property

Our house is very much a home from home. We have furnished it in a way we hope guests find comfortable and after staying in many holiday homes we hope we have provided what people expect when they come away from home. There are black out blinds and curtains in every room so you are not woken early. The beds are all comfy with good quality bed linen. The towels are large, soft and fluffy. The shower is powerful with instant hot water. The kitchen is very well stocked. We can cook a roast dinner or bake cup cakes. There is plenty of cutlery and crockery so you do not need to be washing dishes after every meal. We provide dishwasher liquid, cloths, washing up liquid, soap and a couple of toilet rolls to get you started. If you happen to have a rainy day or just want to take it easy there are lots of games in the house or DVDs to enjoy. There is DAB radio in the kitchen.

The house is very central but still in a very quiet road. You really don't need your car when you visit. The beach is less than 5 minutes walk. If you forget something when you visit the beach it is easy to pop home. You are close to all the shops and restaurants and amenities that Swanage has to offer. It is a great base for all the festivals that Swanage has throughout the year.
