Set off on a coastal adventure and stay in the lively town of Swanage, where you can admire Victorian architecture, visit the dive sites, and taste the fresh, local cuisine. This spacious and bright property with a sunroom, sea views and a pretty cottage garden filled with shrubs is the perfect base for six friends or family members who are seeking a tranquil seaside getaway.
As you enter this single-storey property, you’ll find yourself in the well-organised and compact kitchen, which is decorated with nautical tones and has a traditional cottage feel. In the centre of the room is a small breakfast table. After you’ve cooked a hearty homemade meal, gather with all your guests in the warm and welcoming dining room with floral decor and wooden furnishings. Soak up the panoramic views of the garden and sea in the bright, neutral-toned sunroom, with a splash of coastal decor. More seating can be found in the comfortable lounge, which boasts two large leather sofas and an armchair. There is also a family bathroom and three bedrooms – two twin rooms and a double. Outside, you can enjoy sea views from the lawned garden or patio with furniture.
Set on the outskirts of Swanage, you can enjoy peaceful surroundings while being within easy reach of the town’s amenities. Less than 0.5 miles away is Swanage Bay and the South West Coast Path – if you head along here, you’ll reach views of the eye-catching white stacks of Old Harry Rocks (3 miles). Head into the centre of the town (1 mile) and stop at one of the local pubs, tearooms, or cafes for a pick-me-up before exploring the 19th-century Swanage Pier and checking out the antique shops.
