3 Bedroom Cottage in Swanage

With seaviews and just a short walk from the top of the Downs overlooking Swanage beach, our home is ideal for self-catering family holidays, for golfers wanting to take on the nearby golf course at Studland, or walkers wishing to explore Dorset's extraordinary coastline. Originally a coastguard cottage, it has immediate access to the fields leading to the Lighthouse and coastal paths as well as the beautiful woods of Durlston Country Park. This homely cottage has recently been renovated and furnished to a high standard but still retains a lot of features that give it a truly relaxing old charm. 
 
This house has 3 main bedrooms but also has a 4th dressing room with a sofabed so the house comfortably sleeps 8. The house is well-equipped with ample kitchen equipment, toys and games for children, an open fire, a pretty backgarden/patio ideal for barbeques. All bedlinen and house towels are provided.  
 
A short walk takes you down to the town with its sandy beaches, Victorian pier, boat trips, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and pubs. Swanage itself has over a mile of sandy beach and the award-winning National Trust beaches at Studland are only a short drive away. At both beaches, you can hire boats and have a go at numerous water-sports. From the pier, it is easy to catch boats to Bournemouth, the National Trust Nature Sanctuary on Brown Sea Island or even the Isle of Wight. For those days when it's not warm enough for the beach, there are plenty of local attractions including an indoor swimming pool, Putlake Adventure Farm, the pretty village of Worth Matravers, the abandoned village of Tyneham, and Arne with it's RSPB Nature reserve, Lulworth Castle and some spectacular walks along the Jurassic coastline. At Swanage Railway, there are regular trips on the steam train to picturesque Corfe and its ruined castle. From Corfe you can even walk back along the Purbeck hills to Swanage. Moments from the house, is an entrance to Durlston Country Park, the very opening of Dorset's famous Jurassic coastline, now declared a World Heritage Site. From here you can head to the Lighthouse and beyond.
