Property code: OC-WY464

This picture-perfect, 19th-century farmhouse built from local Purbeck stone is packed with charm and provides the perfect setting for a peaceful getaway with family or friends at the heart of the Jurassic Coast.

Quaint to the core, the charming lounge is bursting with character, featuring flagstone flooring and a roaring wood burner that sets a truly warming ambience. The cosy second lounge offers another peaceful spot to unwind weary walking muscles at the end of a busy day’s adventure. Flooded with natural sunlight, the spacious lounge/diner features contemporary country cottage style décor reminiscent of times gone by, whilst the light and bright conservatory with a glass roof and large windows overlooking the garden offers plenty of space to plan tomorrow’s adventure as you enjoy some sublime melting sunsets. Sharing the same charm as the ground floor, the four bedrooms upstairs, one super-king-size, one double and two twins, each offer a haven of tranquillity to retire to. Outside, soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine from the comfort of the colourful rear garden, packed with mature planting. Outside, you’ll also find private parking for one car.

Proudly poised on the spectacular Jurassic Coast on the Isle of Purbeck, the coastal town of Swanage boasts both timeless charm and a vibrant seaside atmosphere. Offering the opportunity to hire deckchairs, kayaks and pedalos, as well as a charming promenade lined with amusements, the gloriously golden Swanage Beach less than a mile away provides something for the whole family to enjoy. Lose yourself in breathtaking coastal views across the Jurassic Coast and spot an abundance of wildlife at Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve, 2 miles away. Corfe Castle, the iconic royal castle ruins established by William the Conqueror, can be reached within 5 miles.

The house was perfect for us, a group of four couples. Ideally located, comfortable, relaxing and well catered for. Beautiful period property with a very short walk into Swanage and the sea front. Would definitely stay again.

Great location in such a nice town. It is a bit tired but clean and great to have two living rooms and a large kitchen diner. Beds were comfy and heating worked well. We would stay again. Parking space is for a small to medium car only.

The situation of the cottage is good, being five to ten minutes walk from the town centre! Having a convenience store almost opposite is also very useful. Off-road parking, again, very convenient. Having, effectively, two lounges is also a positive feature. The heating system was very efficient and the controls easily understood, making for a warm Read moreand comfortable stay. We stayed at the cottage over Christmas and except for a few minor issues, had an enjoyable stay! Hide

We had a wonderful stay at Swanage. The kitchen is really well equipped which was fantastic as we cooked everyday. It was in a perfect location and easy to access to wander into the town and also make the most of the incredible coastal walks. Thanks so much for hosting us!

Lovely property, great kitchen/dining area which is where we spent most of our time during the day. The lounge was a bit small for 5 adults. All bedrooms are a great size and beds very comfortable. Kitchen/dining area great for socialising.

The house is large and well equipped, walkable to the town centre, the draw back is the parking space which is a bit tricky to negotiate if you have a large car but we managed ok with our ford kuga. The garden at the back is very small and overlooked so not really a great space to sit and relax.

Lovely cottage and very roomy. The neighbours were a little loud out front on occasion but you cannot help that! Very short walk into town and local amenities. Small shop close by and a bus right there too! Parking was a little tight but manageable.

The cottage is conveniently located with easy walk into the town centre. A good selection of Inns/Restaurants are also close by. Good public transport both buses and train station very accessible. The cottage is a good size with ample bedroom accommodation for the four adults and three children in our party. Not enough space for two cars howeverRead more. Hide
