About this property

OUR LOVELY HOME WITH KITCHEN BALCONY WITH VIEWS OVER SWANAGE BAY/PURBECK HILLS

Just 5 to 10 minutes stroll to Swanage's Blue Flag Award Winning Beach, Victorian Pier, the wonderful Steam Railway, art galleries, restaurants, bars and pubs, we are letting our much loved home, over the summer holidays.

Five to 10 minutes walk from the front door will bring you to the Townsend Nature Reserve and on to Durlston National Park, renowned as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, leading to the Jurassic Coast Cliff Walks, Durlston Castle and the Lighthouse.

We have 3 bedrooms, 2 bright double bedrooms (one with fabulous view of Swanage Bay and Purbeck Hills) both with vanity units and the smaller third with full sized bunk beds with view of Swanage Bay and the Purbeck Hills. There is an open plan large kitchen/diner/family room with double doors leading to balcony and further views of Swanage Bay and Purbeck Hills. Stairs leading down to landscaped garden with covered seating area, barbeque and raised pond.
Cosy adult’s lounge to relax in, when younger ones are sleeping, with 50 inch TV and adults’ dining area. In the large open plan kitchen/family room there is a Large 50 inch flat screen TV. A Large Range Cooker and 5 ring hob and washing machine. Fully tiled bathroom with power shower over bath, wash basin and toilet. Separate Toilet and wash basin upstairs. Linens and Towels provided (for use on the premises only).

Off road parking, side gate leading to secure covered area for bicycles/ hiking equipment etc.

A truly fabulously convenient location just a 10 minute walk from all the attractions and conveniences our stunning seaside town has to offer, whilst being away from the bustle of the town.

Available are various boat trips to Brownsea Island, Poole, around local shoreline I.e Old Harry Rocks, Fishing trips, both local mackerel fishing and further out to sea day hires etc. Various Diving Schools at the Pier.
Extremely good (so we are told) and picturesque Purbeck Golf Club which is open to the public, there are other golf clubs in the area also open to the public. For the lesser experienced golfers there is crazy golf for the kids in the town centre.

Area is extremely popular with mountain bikers, there is a really good bicycle shop literally round the corner, they are very involved in all local bike events,. They hire bikes out and have a workshop team to fix all levels of bike.

Local convenience shop only 2 minutes down the road open early until late 7 days a week.

Location! We are in the middle of Purbeck's Jurassic Coast, a listed area of Natural Outstanding Beauty. Everything on your doorstep from Townsend Nature Reserve (5 minutes up the hill) to Durlston Head where the magnificent lighthouse is situated, then you can either take the coastal path to Dancing Ledge and on to Worth Matravers where you will find the famous Square and Compass pub, this is a truly unspoiled traditional pub overlooking the sea, it is very rustic with a serving hatch, barrels of beer behind hatch, a wide cider menu, pasties on a paper plate only food available. There are no fruit machines, pool table, tv's, juke boxes! It also has a Fossil Museum.

Another lovely place to visit is the Scott Arms at Kingston with its stunning garden views over Corfe Castle, they have a good food reputation and also often have an outside Jerk Shack food bar.

There is of course Corfe Castle itself, you can take the Swanage Steam Train to this.
Near by there are also Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove to visit.

If you turn left from the lighthouse towards Durlston Castle then it will take you back into Swanage via The Downs.

If you travel further towards Sandbanks through Studland there are miles of quiet unspoilt National Trust beaches.
You can also travel on to Sandbanks, Poole and Bournmouth via the Chain Ferry.
An absolutely fabulous place to have a meal or a glass of wine is Shell Bay Restaurant and Bar, next to the ferry - it offers amazing views (see photo).

Our home has great views over the Bay and of the Purbeck Hills and is close walking distance to Swanage, you won't necessarily need to take the car.

Our home is just off the High St so you don't get the late night noises of people 'strolling home'.

Two minutes down the road is our wonderful local pub/restaurant (The Black Swan) which serves delicious food (although it is best to book as they get very busy). Also to be found is a very good Chinese take away just around the corner.

There are of course a choice of fish and chips shops.

There is also a lovely old stone church and Mill pond just down the hill.

Please note if there are any accidents there is a cottage hospital just literally around the corner, but it is not a 24 hr/ out of hours hospital.

Family holiday
David and Francis were great hosts they sent us links that we could see what was going on in the surrounding areas. We were very lucky that the weather was brilliant i think we had a drop of rain on one day. The house was a good size and gave us plenty of options so we could just sit and chill. We highly recommend this let and we would consider staying here in the future.

Homely and spacious
Short walk to beach ( up hill on the way back ), shops , restaurants and local walks. Very spacious property, comfortable beds, good shower and well equipped kitchen. Lovely views , great location to explore local area. You can leave the car and walk local. Swanage is a super seaside town which has kept plenty of charm.

A really lovely stay. The views are magnificent and indoors there are plenty of areas to sit and relax in. A terraced garden also with multiple choices of seating areas .. there is a bench table in the garden, we had breakfast on the patio table on the balcony and also my daughter and I had an evening wine on the high stools & table looking over the sea and Ballard down. A short walk to the town & not too much uphill on the way back. Would recommend.

Swanage week
A well equipped property with plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. Ideal location for the town, beach and amenities of Swanage. The one drawback is the parking issue with that particular area of Swanage. We had 2 vehicles, one of which we were able to park on the drive of the property. Our other car had to be parked about 400m away out of sight from the property. All available on the road parking was occupied all week. Apart from that issue, though, we had a wonderful time in Swanage

About the host

Hosted by Francess and David

Host profile image
This is our much loved home by the sea, which we purchased in 2010, after many months of searching. Not an easy task finding a home with a garden, off road parking and a garage, so close to the beach.
***We have our own self-contained Annex - which enables us to carry out general/garden maintenance and the occasional catch up with friends outside of the house (from time to time) but please be assured we will not encroach on your stay in any way, should we happen to use it, as we have our own entrance/exit.

Why they chose this property

Our home has great views over the bay and of the hills and is close walking distance to Swanage town centre and the beautiful sandy beach, you won't need to take the car.
It is also just off the High St so you don't get the late night noises of people 'strolling home'.
Local late opening shop is 2 mins. away, as is our local pub/restaurant 'The Black Swan' which serves very good food (although it is best to book as they are usually fully booked), also there is a very good Chinese take away just around the corner.
There is a wonderful stone church and Mill pond just down the hill.

What makes this property unique

Location! We are in the middle of Purbeck's Jurassic Coast, a listed area of Natural Outstanding Beauty. Everything on your doorstep from Townsend Nature Reserve (5 minutes up the hill) to Durleston Head where the magnificent lighthouse is situated, then you can either take the coastal path to Dancing Ledge and on to Worth Matravers where you will find the famous Square and Compass pub, this is a truly unspoiled traditional rustic pub overlooking the sea, it is very rustic with a serving hatch, barrels of beer behind hatch, a wide cider menu, pasties on a paper plate only food available. There are no fruit machines, pool table tv's juke boxes - and cash only!
Or you can turn right from the lighthouse towards Durlston Castle then back into town via The Downs.
Another stunning places to visit is the Scott Arms at Kingston with its stunning gardens overlooking Corfe Castle, they have a good food reputation and often have an outside Jerk Shack food bar.
