Good base by the Black Swan pub, which is excellent for food and beer. Very spacious, and might be good for families with children, as well as couples, singles.

Beautiful views and flexible quality accommodation. Being on 4 floors was a challenge for our older family but otherwise we loved it!

The four storey house was a perfect size for multi generational family holidays such as ours and a comfortable walk to the shops and beach. Our only negatives out of many positives, are that the house is nestled between two pubs so there's noise overnight as they leave, the off street parking isn't often available nearby and is a good walk from youRead morer car to the house. Also, you have to be fairly agile to be able to safely manage the steep steps down to the kitchen. However, there is amazing views from the rear sitting room of the town, sea, steam railway and the Downs which we missed for many days on returning home Hide

Brilliant property for a large family, or mixed generation/multifamily stay. Could not fault it. Great views across Swanage to the sea. Easy walking distance to everything.

Sea View Villa is furnished and decorated almost perfectly, offers a large deck for sitting outside, and it is located pretty close to Swanage centre and Swanage beach. There are toys for small children and barriers stopping them from falling down the stairs (there are 4 floors). A small grocery shop open Mo-Su and a great pub are ony a few yards aRead moreway. The only problem: it is difficult to find a parking place. Hide
