Set on the outskirts of the beautiful seaside resort of Swanage, this charming former quarryman’s cottage is a lovely retreat for couples and smaller families seeking a relaxing getaway. Perfect for exploring a stunning part of the Isle of Purbeck, the stone-built property is full of character and features exposed stonework, wooden beams and a free-standing roll-top bath. Tastefully decorated and stylishly furnished throughout, this delightful holiday home offers fresh and cosy accommodation for up to four guests, with ample room for a pet dog to join you.

Entering this sweet cottage, the ground floor offers a welcoming lounge with exposed Purbeck stone walls, providing a lovely space to snuggle up and watch a movie. Heading through, there’s a charming open-plan kitchen/diner perfect for preparing and sharing a family feast. The ground floor also features a stylish family bathroom. A steep wooden cottage-style staircase leads up to the first floor where you will find another lounge, with cosy seating and a TV, with bi-fold doors allowing plenty of light to stream in. The first bedroom is on this level: a cheerful king-size room with views across Swanage. On the second floor, a spacious attic room features twin beds, a TV, a games console and wooden beams in the high vaulted ceiling. From the first-floor lounge, bi-fold doors open onto a lovely sundeck providing a fantastic spot for dining alfresco with your canine friend. A leafy path leads further into the garden with additional seating.

Dogs are welcome throughout Swanage, with popular attractions including the Victorian-era pier, Monkey Beach, The Downs and Durlston Country Park.

We were all extremely impressed with every aspect of our stay. Tom, our Cocker Spaniel loved the garden and sunbathing on the deck, as did we.

Apart from there being no upstairs toilet we found the cottage to be quaint and cosy.Particularly liked the first floor lounge and decking area,a real sun trap.

The cottage is lovely. So comfortable and with a wonderful outside decking area and garden. We had glorious sunny weather, and the bifold doors whilst relaxing later in the evening were well used. It was helpful to know from the website info about steep stairs in the cottage, so you know before you decide to book. However, the owner has bannisters Read moreon both side of the stairs so they were not an issue. Swanage and its beach are lovely and a doable walk from the cottage if you don't want to drive. There are buses too with stops just yards away from the cottage. Plenty of shops and pubs around and, of course, the wonderful Swanage station and the steam trains taking you on a short ride to Corfe and further. Hide
