Situated at the top of a hill in the pretty village of Swanage, this contemporary property is ideal for families, including their canine members, to discover the Dorset countryside and coastline. Pop to the dog-friendly pub next door for a hearty lunch or an early evening drink, feast on locally-caught fish and chips in the harbour and stroll along Monkey Beach where dogs are welcome all year round.
Your holiday home is laid out over three floors giving a sense of space and airiness to your accommodation. Decorated in neutral tones with bright splashes of colour there is a calm and restful atmosphere throughout the property. Cook up a storm in the stylish kitchen/diner which is equipped with everything you need to prepare family meals and doggy dinners. Snuggle up in the cosy first-floor sitting room to watch a family film or play a board game as your hound sprawls at your feet. There are two inviting bedrooms on this floor, a pretty twin and a delightful single room, along with the family bathroom. Continue to the second floor where the double bedroom enjoys stunning coastal views. There is also a second bathroom. To the rear of the cottage is a pretty courtyard garden where you can enjoy a morning coffee as your pup stretches their paws.
Tails will certainly wag at the walks on offer from the doorstep of your holiday home. Less than half a mile away is the glorious sandy beach for long walks and cooling tired paws in the clear waters. Spot dolphins and porpoises from the clifftops of Durlston Country Park (1.5 miles) where you can walk through woodland and meadows in this peaceful nature reserve. For a memorable experience, take your pup on a steam train ride aboard the Swanage Railway (0.5 miles) for a nostalgic journey through the Dorset countryside.
