Located on the edge of The Downs in the seaside town of Swanage, this homely two-bedroom property is perfect for a dog-friendly getaway in the Dorset National Landscape. Spend your evenings relaxing in the garden and fill your days with trips to the nearby castles, vast sandy beaches and natural beauty spots, like Old Harry Rocks.
Enter the property to find a well-sized, neutral-toned kitchen/diner with wooden cabinets and sparkling surfaces on the fitted L-shaped unit. Here you’ll also find a dining table with four chairs. Continue into the airy, rectangular lounge with nature-themed art and seats beside the bay window. Surrounding the flame-effect gas fire are two comfortable sofas. Completing the interior is a family bathroom and two bedrooms – a king-size with an en-suite shower room, and a twin room. Outside you’ll find a small, enclosed patio with furniture, as well as ample private parking.
Start your day with a walk around The Downs (200 metres) and continue to Peveril Point (0.5 miles) for far-reaching coastal views. Walk along the seafront to find an array of restaurants, cafes and shops on the way to Swanage Beachfront (0.5 miles). Pack a picnic and wander around the hills of the dog-friendly Durlston Country Park (0.5 miles). Also nearby are the impressive white sea stacks of Old Harry Rocks (4.5 miles). Visit the 1000-year-old Corfe Castle (6 miles), which can be reached by steam train from Swanage Railway (0.5 miles). If you’re in the mood for an adventure, catch two short ferries from Shell Bay (7 miles) to National Trust Brownsea Island.
