Edwardian house in Swanage, Dorset, England - Close to Country Park and Beach Period Features
This semi detached home "Kelston Villa" is located in Durlston, a quiet elevated area overlooking Swanage bay and adjacent to Durlston country park. The Jurassic coast cliff walks begin approx 300m south of the property. The town centre is approx 500m north down the hill, so you get the views of the bay and are away from the bustle of the town.

Why Denise Taylor chose Purbeck
Period property in quiet prime location overlooking Swanage bay. Completely refurbished for 2010.
Kelston Villa is conveniently located for the town and Durlston country park is just up the hill providing access to the Jurassic coast, fantastic walks and scenery.
What makes this house unique
Close to Durlston country park, good location for walkers to Jurassic coast. Close to Swanage beach (10 min amble). Dogs welcome (max 2). I do rent for short breaks out of high season (jul and August, half termsEaster and Christmas)
Guestbook comments from the owner
Denise, Just a quick message to thank you for providing such a lovely house.We all really enjoyed it. We are already considering whether to book for the same week next year. You seem to have catered for everything (a full length mirror would be a good addition). Finally we were all very pleasantly surprised to find out just how luxurious your house is and fell the photos on the website dont do the house or the views justice. But we did have the benefit of being there when the weather was fantastic. Many thanks Suzy and Andy Tookey (May 2010)

Amazing House in a fantastic location
Wow, what a fantastic house. Catered for all of our needs. Denise let us in early and was waiting at the house to give us a warm welcome. We had an amazing time, nothing negative to say. Thank you so much Denise, we will certainly be recommending your house to everyone we know. Hope to come back soon
Fantastic weekend!
We really appreciated the efficient emails prior to arrival and amazing flexibility for our needs. The welcome was good with flowers, milk and biscuits and the house was very clean and well appointed. The views were stunning and we were able to enjoy the BBQ and also the log fires!
Wonderful house and great location.
Fabulous home up a hill
What an amazing week away in this fabulous house! The house was beaurifully presented, even biscuits and milk on arrival! Much needed! The rooms are all very tastefully decorated, the lounge well appointed and the kitchen brilliant! Everything you need and more! The owners really have thought of absolutely everything!
The location is fab for a big runner the hills were a challenge! Husband enjoyed bike rides out across to studland.
Highly recommend this property if you've a large family like mine!
La Trattoria in town fantastic Italian, the ship inn, the white horse, the east bar, the bull and boat, crazy golf, arcades, pitch & putt, steam train, putlake, dancing ledge gosh there really is so much to do! Sea breeze on seafront do fab meals, fish n chips in town is amazing! Always busy always fresh!
Would highly recommend, badgers, foxes at night simply beautiful!
If I haven't already mentioned full working fires! We didn't get a chance to use the BBQ sadly. Board games were a huge hit! And the dad collection was ideal for a rainy afternoon.
Can't thank you enough for our stay! Can't wait to come back!
We celebrated our daughters 1st birthday in style X X
Wonderful family holiday
Wow! this house ticked all the right boxes with our party. Ages ranged from 3 and half to 65! The villa was immaculate and well laid out. The dolls house was a huge hit with my children who spent hours playing with it. The kitchen had everything we needed tea bags and coffee included. We had a Sunday lunch at the Black Swan and they have separate dinning area for family's with children. Huge portions! We loved our time in Swanage - beautiful part of the world! thanks Denise we will definitely be back.....
Great house in convenient location
We had a wonderful stay here, there were 8 adults, 1 teen and 1 dog, lots of space for all us. We enjoyed breakfast & dinners together around the table and had a BBQ one evening, the garden was great to relax in and got plenty of sun. Kitchen was fully equipped and all the rooms were comfortable. A short walk to the lovely town centre and beach. A steep walk back but manageable, I was 8 months pregnant, but a taxi from town was only £3 :) .No wifi, but this was a good thing as the teenager in our group interacted with us and we enjoyed doing a puzzle together. we really enjoyed our stay, thank you
Home from home
A group of 9 plus 2 dogs stayed in this property and we found it of a very high standard being spotlessly clean, well equipped, warm, nicely decorated and comfortable. The property provides everything that you would want for a break away with friends and family and we would plan to stay here again. Many thanks to Denise for her clear communications and instructions.
