  • Inviting, modern bungalow in excellent location in the Dorset town of Swanage
  • Superb garden, with decking and lawn, for outdoor living in the warmer months
  • With colourful beach hut, overlooking the sand and Swanage Bay, for days on the beach

Property code: OC-WY421

This superb bungalow is beautifully decorated and offers welcoming comfort at any time of the year. Ideal for couples or small families, it’s within reach of Swanage’s many attractions, and has a fabulous added extra – a cute beach hut, which you’re welcome to use as you enjoy days on the golden sands.

Stylish, tranquil and comfortable, this lovely single-storey property has been thoughtfully equipped for a relaxing holiday. After exploring the area you can head back up the hill and get cosy in the cottage’s attractive lounge, perhaps opening the French doors to the garden to feel connected to the outside, or closing the curtains to snuggle up with a film on the Smart TV. Preparing meals, snacks and picnics is easy in the quality kitchen, and there’s an elegant dining room to add a sense of occasion to your meals together. The two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both have stunning views through their bay windows towards the Purbeck Hills. Completing the interior is a family bathroom. On warm days grab a drink (with ice from the fridge dispenser) and head into the enclosed garden, where you can dine on the deck while little ones play on the lawn. Another option for outside space is the cottage’s very own, well-stocked beach hut, about 1 mile away.

Set on Dorset’s scenic Jurassic Coast, Swanage is a traditional resort with much to do for any age. Relax on the beach or try some water sports, hike the coast path, play golf, book a day cruise or jump on a steam train and puff out to see the ruins of 1,000-year-old Corfe Castle. A variety of attractions are within 11 miles, including The Blue Pool Nature Reserve, Dorset Adventure Park, Corfe Castle Model Village, Kimmeridge Bay and Dancing Ledge.

This property was just perfect for our needs. The garden was safe and secure for the dog. The decking area was ideal to sit out and have breakfast lunch and dinner. It was so peaceful with amazing views. Ideal for my elderly mum to relax in too. Needed the car to get mum anywhere due to the steep hills but plenty of parking down near the seafront aRead morend easy enough for wheelchair use. Amazing place with a lovely welcome pack provided to make you feel at home Hide

We had a fantastic stay at Hillcrest. Great location short walk from town, handy hints at a shortcut in the book inside the house. Such a well equipped property with everything you need and more for an easy and comfortable stay. We travelled with two small children and a small dog, great garden for them all to have a run in, the twin room was so coRead moresy, ideal for the kids who also liked the novelty of having a TV in their room! (Would be just as comfortable for adults) The beach hut was a fantastic extra and worth every penny. Would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a relaxed and comfortable stay in Swanage. Hide
