Explore the picturesque Isle of Purbeck and enjoy all the colour of Swanage from this modern retreat.

While away sunny days on beautiful beaches, then spend quiet evenings unwinding in the large garden, listening to the sound of the babbling brook.

Step up and into the red-brick cottage to find yourselves in the hall. Leave your beach bags and sandals and stroll on through to the kitchen/diner. Unpack your provisions and put the kettle on for a cup of tea to enjoy with a slice of Dorset lardy cake at the table. Also at this level is a handy utility room, with a washing machine for your towels and a WC. Make your way up to the first floor to unwind in the lounge.

The Coach House is in the perfect location - a short walk from the promenade and beach, and very quiet. The surrounding countryside is lovely, with lots of places to walk and visit. Jan told us we could walk up the road to the Grand Hotel, where there is a path down to the quieter North Beach, which turned out to be a less crowded and very peacefulRead more place for an evening swim. We had a meal at the Grand Hotel, which has a magnificent view over the sea and the town; and we had a couple of boat trips too. A great place to stay! Hide

Enjoyed our stay here Garden a little over grown so unable to take advantage of warm evenings. Kitchen equipment excellent although cupboards could do with an upgrade but were clean. Bedside cabinets a bit rustic. But the art was awsome a very pleasant little hide away close to beach.

A really comfortable property, great location and well equipped. Parking was a bonus as there was a bus stop nearby so we hardly used the car. About a 15 minute stroll into town, 5 minutes to the beach. Loved the art and ceramics on display. Highly recommended.

It was beautifully decorated and the beds and lounge furniture were very comfortable and it had everything we needed including the welcome goodies in the kitchen and bathroom. The owner herself was a lovely lady who came to sort the TV out and gave us very helpful local hints

Lovely property, clean and bright. Having the private outdoor 'wild' garden space to sit in the shade was a bonus.
