Less than a mile from the beachfront, this inviting holiday bungalow offers fresh, light and cosy holiday accommodation for up to four guests. Perfect for exploring the bustling Victorian resort of Swanage, the cottage has plenty of space for a pet dog to join you as you explore the beautiful beaches and spectacular countryside of the Isle of Purbeck. With the additional benefit of access to a colourful beach hut overlooking the bay, this delightful, stylishly furnished, single-level retreat features a lovely garden and makes a great base for discovering a tranquil corner of Dorset.

Entering this airy property the cosy lounge allows light to stream in from the French doors, and provides a relaxing spot to snuggle up and unwind with a movie on the Smart TV. You will find plenty of equipment in the kitchen for rustling up your favourite meals which you can share in the delightful dining room. The bungalow has a stylish bathroom and two cheerful bedrooms: a double and a twin, each with a bay window with views towards the Purbeck Hills. Outside, the large garden has a decked terrace perfect for enjoying a meal on a sunny afternoon as your dog plays on the long lawn. An additional terrace at the end of the lawn makes a charming spot for evening drinks.

You will also have access to your own beach hut overlooking Swanage Bay. The Victorian dog-friendly pier is a mile away, with a pet-welcoming stretch of beach nearby. You can also help your dog explore The Downs, Prince Albert Gardens and Durlston Country Park, or take a boat trip along the coast or a steam train to Corfe Castle (5 miles).

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

We had a fantastic stay at Hillcrest. Great location short walk from town, handy hints at a shortcut in the book inside the house. Such a well equipped property with everything you need and more for an easy and comfortable stay. We travelled with two small children and a small dog, great garden for them all to have a run in, the twin room was so coRead moresy, ideal for the kids who also liked the novelty of having a TV in their room! (Would be just as comfortable for adults) The beach hut was a fantastic extra and worth every penny. Would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a relaxed and comfortable stay in Swanage. Hide
