Enjoy a family holiday in Swanage. This flexible property would be ideal for a mid-size group, such as a family with some younger kids and a teenager who wants to be included but needs a bit of space. Swanage has plenty to offer to keep everyone entertained. Make the most of this wonderful location by heading out to explore the Dorset coast and do a bit of fossil hunting, or simply relax on the beach with an ice cream.

As you walk into the property you’ll see a spacious lounge/diner, finished with wooden touches. There’s a large window which fills the area with natural light, and to one side you’ll see a staircase. It’s a nice spot for eating, relaxing, watching films and chatting. Continue through an archway to find a gleaming modern kitchen, finished with a wooden floor. Head upstairs, where there are three bedrooms. The king-size room is light and airy, as is the pretty twin room, and finally there’s a lovely single bedroom. The upstairs is completed by a family shower room with a shower, WC and a bidet. The cottage has an enclosed rear garden, secured by a wooden fence, where you can stretch out and bask in the sunshine.

Swanage is a friendly and bustling area, and you’ll have plenty of fun places to eat, shop and explore. It’s on the coast, so the beach is only 0.5 miles away, and full of other holiday-makers. If you’d like some quiet, take a walk on the stretching cliffs and relish the fresh sea air. There are plenty of fascinating geological features, including Old Harry Rocks (5 miles) and Durdle Door (16 miles). Historians are sure to have a good time at Durlston Castle, 1.5 miles.

A lovely light spacious property and very well equipped. Short walk downhill into Swanage centre and an even shorter walk to The Black Swan Inn which serves great food. Only issue was the refusal to allow us to slightly delay our departure time by 30 mins max to allow my partner to shower after completing the local very hilly parkrun prior to our lRead moreong journey home. This is the first time we have experienced this as all of our other holiday property rentals over the years have been more than happy to accommodate our request. Very disappointing! Hide

We had a really great holiday in Swanage. The location of this house is pretty good - not too far to walk down to the beach and shops. We felt there was a good amount of space downstairs - it was bigger than we expected. The sofas are comfy! The kitchen was fairly well equipped and the house was reasonably clean, although not as clean as we would'vRead moree liked. The shower is hard to use because the head is breaking off. Hide

We liked everything about the cottage. Location up a hill but only 10 minutes walk to town and beach and bus station. Lovely views from the house. Very quiet. Easy parking. Nice to sit in the garden. We only used the car once all week as good buses and the train.

The house itself was very spacious and light. Location was excellent for sightseeing and only a short walk into town. Single beds were not very wide, ok if youre a small adult or child.

This is a lovely house with every amenity and very comfortable to stay in. The only problem is that there is a long steep hill to get to it from the beach and high street which is far more than the 500 meters stated in the brochure. Not suitable for the elderly and anyone with walking difficulties. We needed a taxi to return each day.

We found this property to be comfortable and well equipped for our needs. A short walk into the town and also easy access to walk over to Durlston Country Park and Anvil Point Lighthouse.
