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. Local attractions include Swanage beaches, Swanage steam railway, Swanage Victorian Pier, Corfe Castle, Studland Beach, Monkey World, Bovington Tank Museum and Lulworth Castle.

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

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)

Cosy & well appointed
We had a great stay in this lovely cottage. The house is well-appointed, there is everything you could expect and even more! The fireplace in the living room gives a warm and cosy athmosphere. Plus you can enjoy the sea view! We were 12 people including a little baby and we had everything required.
Thank you very much to Denise who was really nice and welcoming.
Spacious character house in a very good location
Very well suited for us, a group of walkers. Five bedrooms and two lounges, one with views over the bay. Just a couple of minutes walk to/from Swanage centre, and the coast path in easy reach. The house itself is spacious, has Victorian character and is comfortable, with all we needed for our short stay. The good weather enhanced the beauty of the area : wish we could have stayed longer!
A lovely, well-equipped house in a great seaside town. We all wished we could have stayed longer.
A very good house for a large group, we were 2 families of 5 plus a dog. Beautiful views and well located. Denise was very easy to communicate with and met us on arrival. I would highly recommend the house and would definitely return.
Lovely, comfortable house in great location.
We had a great week, House was ready early for us and Denise was very welcoming and extremely helpful. Lovely views from living room and we loved the open fire too. A great house, well equipped and with easy access to lovely walks. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing in the New Year here. Thank you, Denise.
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.
