Property code: OC-WY491

Less than half a mile from the beach and the centre of town, this charming mews-style property makes a great holiday home for four guests seeking a tranquil getaway in the traditional seaside town of Swanage. With ample space for a pet dog to join you on your travels, the bright and relaxing house is perfect for couples seeking a quiet retreat, or for smaller families looking for a cosy hideaway close to many of the town’s attractions. Featuring a pretty courtyard garden, this stylishly decorated and tastefully furnished property offers sea views and provides a lovely base for experiencing the Isle of Purbeck.

The property has a light and airy lounge providing a lovely space to curl up with a good book or watch a movie in the evening. At mealtimes you can rustle up and share a family feast in the fully equipped country-style kitchen/diner. Exploring further, you will find a refreshing family bathroom and two light, spacious bedrooms: a pretty twin room and a cheerful king-size room which has views of the bay and its own en-suite shower room. Stepping outside, a small, enclosed courtyard features a furnished patio providing a charming space for dining alfresco with your four-pawed friend.

Swanage is a fantastic holiday destination for dogs and their owners, with a pet-friendly pier next to a dog-welcoming stretch of beach. Your pet can join you as you explore Prince Albert Gardens, The Downs and Durlston Country Park, and there are plenty of pubs and cafes where you and your dog can enjoy a refreshing break. Away from the town, your dog will be welcome at the Blue Pool near Wareham (10 miles) and at the Model Village and Gardens in Corfe Castle (5 miles) which you can reach by steam train.

We had a lovely week away. The cottage was warm, comfortable, well equipped and in a perfect location. Couldn't fault it in any way - we'll be back.

Close to the town centre and country parks, which was great. Also close to Corfe Castle and Wareham. The walk back from the High Street is steep, but doable. The cottage is cosy and warm. Probably best suited to a young family. We visited Swanage over New Year and found it to be very quiet, with limited restaurants on offer. We wouldn't return at tRead morehat time of year, but it looks like a nice place to visit in Summer. Hide

The lounge was quite dark, the oven was complicated, good tin opener needed, the garden was very small with tall trees and we like to spend time in the garden relaxing at the end of the day. Location was great, double bed very comfy, dvd's appreciated.

Well situated to beach and lovely walks. The house was clean and great to have a welcome pack. Parking next to front door which would be most welcome to people who are unable to walk far. Would be definitely using this property again
