Located in the seaside town of Swanage on the Jurassic Coast, this quirky converted chapel offers a magical base for your Dorset adventures. This characterful property has been lovingly renovated into a stylish and modern home, offering a window to the past while satisfying your modern creature comforts. Spend your days strolling cliff-top walks, fossil-hunting on beaches and sampling local flavours and attractions. Then return here for peaceful evenings sipping wine in the courtyard and socialising in the dramatic, open-plan living room.
Let Rover lead the way through the courtyard garden to your private entrance. Accessible via a ramp, the galley-style kitchen has all the essentials for rustling up family favourites along with some tasty titbits for your furry companion. This opens into a double-height, vaulted living room where plush sofas invite relaxing evenings in, while a mezzanine area makes a perfect reading nook and has a sofa bed to accommodate an additional guest. When it’s time to rest your head, choose between a ground-floor twin bedroom with an en-suite wet room or a first-floor double with a balcony, which looks over to the steam trainline. A family bathroom completes the interior and guests have use of an enclosed courtyard garden with outdoor furniture.
With a choice of beaches, some of which are dog-friendly all year, and a host of parks, Swanage is a delight for dogs. Just out of town, Durlston Country Park has cliff-top walks, a dog-friendly castle, and wonderful sea views – your pup will have to be on lead as it’s also a nature reserve. Heritage hounds can also join you to stroll along Swanage Pier and travel in style on the Swanage Heritage Railway.
