Those craving an escape to the Jurassic Coast, look no further than this delightfully homely getaway nestled in the seaside haven of Swanage, ideal for a family break or romantic couple’s retreat.

You don’t have to leave behind your stunning scenery in the cosy lounge; throw open the large set of patio doors to unwind to the sound of birdsong carried through the breeze at the end of a busy day. You’ll also find a set of patio doors in the contemporary kitchen, adorned with sophisticated décor that’ll capture your imagination, inspiring you to get creative with your tasty local produce. The homely dining room offers the perfect peaceful spot to enjoy a glass of something chilled as you plan tomorrow’s adventure. There are two bedrooms on offer, one double and one twin, which each feature bay windows framing wonderful views out towards the Purbeck Hills. Make the most of your peaceful surroundings by dining alfresco on the decking in the large, enclosed garden as children let off some steam on the lawn. Outside, you’ll also find private parking for one car.

The coastal town of Swanage, located on the Isle of Purbeck, exudes nostalgia with its traditional steam railway, Victorian pier and gloriously golden beach backed by a stunning esplanade bursting with seaside attractions and amusements. Those looking to discover the Jurassic Coast on foot can join the South West Coast Path to enjoy the fantastic cliff-top views along the journey to Durlston Country Park and Nature Reserve 2 miles away. Hop aboard a traditional steam train on the idyllic Swanage Heritage Railway just under a mile away to journey through the beautiful Purbeck countryside and past the ancient ruins of Corfe Castle, 5 miles away.

This property was just perfect for our needs. The garden was safe and secure for the dog. The decking area was ideal to sit out and have breakfast lunch and dinner. It was so peaceful with amazing views. Ideal for my elderly mum to relax in too. Needed the car to get mum anywhere due to the steep hills but plenty of parking down near the seafront aRead morend easy enough for wheelchair use. Amazing place with a lovely welcome pack provided to make you feel at home Hide
