Lovely cottage and very comfortable. Easy walk into town avoiding the high street as the path up from the cottage is very steep. Dog walking just a short walk away across the railway line. The town is very dog friendly. On street parking was not a problem but could be in high season.

A lovely characterful property, handy for the centre of Swanage. We enjoyed the space but did find the parking an issue - so basically left the car all week after we got a spot near to the house. With fun bus trips around Poole Harbour and train to Corfe, shops within walking distance (the Salt Pig was such a treat for local fish and meat) this wasRead moren't a big hardship though! Would say the 3rd bedroom is only really suitable for children. Hide
