Property code: OC-WY415

Located in the centre of Swanage, this beautiful, traditional cottage makes a wonderful getaway for couples and small families looking for a cosy retreat in a popular seaside resort. Full of character, and featuring a Purbeck stone facade, exposed timber beams and stonework, this delightful property offers fresh, light and welcoming accommodation for three guests and a pet dog eager to explore a stunning part of Dorset.

Entering this tastefully updated cottage, the pretty lounge features exposed beams, a wood burner effect electric fire and plenty of seating, making a lovely space to snuggle up and relax at the end of a fantastic day out. A flight of steps leads down from the lounge and into the cosy kitchen/diner. Beautifully designed, with original stonework and stylish tiling, this is an ideal space for cooking and enjoying your favourite meals. The family bathroom is also on this level. An open-tread staircase leads up from the lounge to the two upper floors of the house where you will find the two country-style bedrooms: a sweet single and a charming double. Outside, the small courtyard garden has a bistro table and chairs, and makes a lovely spot to dine alfresco on a sunny afternoon with your four-pawed companion by your side.

Situated along the high street, the cottage is within easy reach of everything Swanage has to offer, including the dog-friendly pier and the equally dog-friendly Monkey Beach. Your pet will be welcome in numerous local pubs and cafes, or you can head over to enjoy a stroll along Prince Albert Gardens and across The Downs or Durlston Country Park. Exploring the area further, you can accompany your pet to the Blue Pool near Wareham (10 miles) and the Model Village and Gardens in the picturesque village of Corfe Castle (5 miles).

Two Hoots is a wonderfully quirky historic little cottage in a great location for exploring Swanage. We easily found on street parking a few minutes walk away,

Hopefully the bedding is checked without relying on guests to strip the beds. It should not be assumed that any bedding left on the beds has not been used. Some guests might not like having to strip the beds at the end of their stay. This wont prevent us staying again but it was quite unpleasant and should be noted.

Perfect location and size for 2 of us, me and my adult son. It's great being able to walk into the town for beaches and a wide variety of cafes/restaurants.

Property was in a great location, within walking distance of the beach and town centre. Parking nearby was difficult to find and the property itself was a bit cramped for 3 adults and a dog.
