Retreat to this exquisite Grade II listed stone cottage in an older quarter of Swanage. Enjoy the abundant character of the former Dorset quarryman's home, which dates back to 1750 and welcomes up to four guests and one canine companion. Soak up the fresh air in the delightful courtyard and bask in the glow of the wood burner indoors. Wander around shops and dine out in the town, and walk less than 1 mile down to the seafront and stroll along the Victorian pier.
Make your way through the courtyard and enter the enchanting cottage for a warm welcome. You'll find a galley kitchen, where you can prepare delicious homecooked meals, and a utility area. Amble through into the lounge, with its flagstone floor, to light the wood burner in the stone inglenook fireplace and settle down in front of the TV. Dine in here before heading up the winding cottage-style stairs to bed. Both your inviting bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom on the first floor. Wake up and take breakfast out into the courtyard, gazing out towards the beautiful Purbeck Hills. With its restricted head height, steep stairs, changes of level and beams, this charming cottage is unfortunately not suitable for children under three years old or those with restricted mobility.
Discover the many beaches of this enchanting corner of Dorset. Spend time at Knoll Beach, which is 4 miles away and is part of a nature reserve, or take a trip to Corfe Castle on the heritage steam railway from the station 1 mile from the cottage. Soak up the glorious scenery on the trip and experience 1,000 years of history in the dramatic ruins of the castle. Follow a section of the South West Coast Path from the town for spectacular cliff-top views.
