Perfect house, perfect location
The Gatehouse is a lovely house, with a great layout for families or friends sharing. It is immaculately presented, very comfortable, very easy to cater for stay-in evenings, everything works excellently. An easy walk into Swanage town and very easy drives to the fantastic South West Coastal path and the villages en route. We had a very pleasant New Year stay here - we highly recommend this property for a visit to Swanage and Purbeck.

Anniversary Celebration
We cannot speak highly enough of this property; it delivers everything and more than you would expect from a holiday rental. Additional ongoing comms with Sally (owner) throughout the week were very efficient. A boiler problem rolled over to us from previous week however it was corrected. House location means you are only a 10 minute stroll from the town. And garden is private plus well equipped for all to enjoy. Most likely a return to property for the four of us.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Low

Host profile image
I have been enjoying holidays in Bournemouth and Swanage for over 20 years. After bringing our own children down here and seeing how much they love it we recently decided to buy a holiday home here.

We work in London but living in East Surrey means we can get down to here in a little over 2 hours!

The beautiful scenery, access to a multitude of nature walks and so many beautiful beaches makes for a relaxing holiday every time we visit.

Why they chose this property

We spotted The Gatehouse being built on a long weekend trip. We drove past and got chatting with the builder and instantly fell in love with the property.

What makes this property unique

The house being in Purbeck stone and in keeping with the 150 year old Manor House coupled with the benefits of a new-build home, well insulated, double glazed and modern appliances makes the house truly unique.

The open plan living space, onto a large secure garden makes the house perfect for a family. The unique high ceiling features in the bedrooms all made the house very appealing to us.
