Escape to the coast with your other half and stay in this elegant and charming cottage with chic interiors and a courtyard garden. The central location of this property means that the local pubs, tearooms, and attractions of Swanage are within easy reach and further afield, you’ll find the iconic Old Harry Rocks. Also nearby is Dancing Ledge – which is the perfect spot for a romantic evening picnic while the sun sets over the sea.

Make yourself at home in the spacious lounge, which is filled with natural light through the large bay windows. Snuggle up on the sofa under the glowing chandelier lighting in front of the open fire. Continue into the stylish kitchen with bold flooring to find a dining table and a Range-style cooker. Rest your head in the boutique bedroom with French-chic decor and unwind by running yourself a steamy bubble bath in the bathroom. Outside, is an enclosed courtyard garden.

During your stay in Swanage, you’ll be less than 0.5 metres from the 19th-century pier and Prince Albert Gardens. Stroll along the coastal path to reach panoramic sea views at Peveril Point (0.5 miles).

Nestleton is a lovely property, well equipped with everything one could possibly need. However the very steep Park Road is quite a strenuous climb to the property. This was our second stay in Nestleton, the first a few years ago. Loved Swanage, but the weather was cold, wet and windy for most of our week which rather spoiled it.

Lovely well placed apartment, which is a 10 minute walk from Durlston Country Park. Really enjoyed our stay which was helped by the amazing late September sunshine. Lots of amazing walks from the flat to Old Harry's Rock, Studland Beaches, Swanage Beach, etc etc. Comfy bed, large lounge, adequately equipped kitchen, (if you like to cook on your holRead mores) and a great location to head out on foot or in the car. Could do with a few more home comforts to make the flat a bit more cosy, especially in the Autumnal months. Would come back for sure! Thank you for sharing your place with us, Swanage, Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove were just perfect. Hide

The flat is a great size for two people and the kitchen well-equipped. It is really close to the town. Parking , we had to park quite a way from Nestleton and the hill is very steep.

Nestleton is a lovely property. It has lots of character and is well-equipped for a short stay. The outside space was appreciated during the heatwave. It's very handy for local amenities.It's a short 2 minute walk from the High Street and beach and less than 10 mins to the train and bus stop. The walk up to the property might be a little steep foRead morer some, but thankfully, it is near the bottom of the hill. Would stay here again. Hide

Spacious flat in good location, clean. Not the cosiest, hard floors only and lacking any feeling of homeliness. Nice bay window at the front, but be aware all other windows face out onto walls, so not a bright property. Free on-street parking and only a 5 min walk into town. Its a ground floor flat and there is a flat upstairs. Expect tRead moreo be able to hear the upstairs neighbours if its occupied. Hide
