This charming, two-bedroom cottage boasts a peaceful setting on the outskirts of Swanage, offering the perfect base for families or couples to enjoy both a coast and countryside holiday. With Swanage’s long, sandy beach, wide range of shops, and pubs and restaurants all within 1 mile, guests are ideally positioned to discover this traditional seaside town. After memorable days out together, return home to the warmth of the lounge that awaits, with its cosy seating and crackling wood burner.
The Grade II-listed cottage has a beautiful blend of period features, contemporary furniture, and home comforts. On the ground floor is a cosy lounge, with comfortable seating to sink into after a long walk. Relax here as the wood burner warms your toes, watching the Smart TV or taking in the picturesque views through the window. From the lounge, move through to the charming kitchen, which has everything needed to create tasty dishes, and a dining table to seat everyone. Narrow, cottage-style stairs lead to the two bedrooms that complete the property; a double room and a cosy twin. Outside, there’s a gated front garden with a lawn and wooden seating, and to the rear is an enclosed courtyard with furniture – the perfect spot to unwind with an evening tipple as the dogs relax in the setting sun.
Nearby, guests can stroll into the town centre, taking in the promenade, Victorian pier, and sandy beach along the way. Attractions in the town centre include the popular Swanage Heritage Railway, and the various boat trips and charters at Swanage Pier (both within 1 mile). The quaint village of Corfe Castle, which has a cute array of independent shops and eateries, as well as the evocative ruins of a 12th-century castle, is just 5 miles away. For some of Dorset’s most beautiful sights, head to Studland Bay (4 miles), Old Harry Rocks (4.5 miles) and the world-famous Durdle Door (18 miles).
