The property was lovely and the ability to park my car at the property was great. It is spacious and everything we needed for our stay. It is only a short walk to the shops and seafront where you can start your walks on the South West Coast path.

Great location. Been to Swanage several times and this is a great place. Downstairs space is fantastic - comfortable sofas and a large well equipped kitchen. All within pretty easy walking distance of the beach and town centre (there is a hill but it is fairly short). The house is quiet and pretty private with little or no disturbance from the road and easy offroad parking straight outside the door Great communication from the host. All in all a positive experience

Wonderful stay in Swanage

Stayed at the property for 5 nights and I can't fault it. The downstairs space was generous, and the kitchen well equipped. The location was amazing! It was about a 1 minute before you reach the local fish and chip shop and you're immediately in town. Planning my next visit already!

Lovely cottage

Lovely stay in Dorset cottage, property is ideally located close to high street and main parade a must with car park space, really well equipped. Only downside is very small main bedroom but don’t dwell on that as the property as a whole far makes up for it and photos are accurate.

A comfortable, cosy and well appointed property with the owners responding promptly to any problems.

We enjoy it!

We are travelling from Germany and spent two weeks in Swanage. The cottage was great, fully equipped and lovingly furnished. The Beds were very comftable. A highlight is also the own parking space in front of the house! We spent a great time and we could also meet Sarah at the end (many greetings). If we come back to Swanage, Sunnybank will be our favorite choice.

really amazing in every respect

We felt good and comfortable in Sunnybank from the first moment, enjoyed the large balcony for meals and a bottle of wine in the sunny evenings. The flat is located perfectly with only little traffic, but just a short distance to town, shops, beach, restaurants and pubs (don´t miss The White Swan). Really nice and helpful contact to Sarah; thank you very much. It´s a long way to go from nothern Germany to Swanage, but it´s worth it and we´ll surely come back.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

Host profile image
Sarah and Andy have owned this property for several years and decided to let it out so that others could enjoy it. Our children have enjoyed many wonderful summers in Swanage and now return as young adults to spend time with their friends.

Why they chose this property

A super cute property with enough space for a family to kick back and relax. So close to the town, beach and gardens and no need to drive anywhere unless you want to.
