About this property

Refurbished house, close to the beach, quiet central location

Contemporary, renovated, well equipped house in a quiet cul-de-sac in the centre of Swanage, very close to the beach. The house has been renovated to a high standard and offers 3 bedrooms, 1 King Size, 1 double and two single beds (travel cot also available). The bathroom has a separate shower and corner bath. The newly fitted kitchen includes a dishwasher and washing machine/tumble dryer, double oven and microwave. The Lounge/Diner has a new large sofa and two comfortable chairs with a modern WIfi enabled TV and DVD player with plenty of DVDs. There are plenty of childrens games, toys and books and equipment for the beach. WIFI is included. There is a small courtyard garden with table and chairs. The house is set over three floors. The top floor where there is one bedroom has steeper stairs so not advised for elderly guests. The first floor has two bedrooms where stairs are standard.

The house is just a few moments walk from the long sandy beach, the shops, cafes and restaurants, the Victorian Pier and the Steam Railway. Corfe Castle, Durlston Country Park, Studland Bay, Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island, The Blue Pool, Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove are only short distances away. Children are very welcome but sorry no pets.
Parking is on the road and is unrestricted but does have limited spaces. There are other unrestricted roads nearby or a car park 7 minutes walk away (£50 for the week). The advantage is we are close to everything in Swanage. We don’t tend to need the car once in Swanage. Guests appreciate how close we are to all the amenities of Swanage.

Perfect break

We had a lovely week at the property. The location was perfect - so great to be so close to the beach and the town. Although we couldn’t park near the house, we found a spot up by the station just a few mins walk away. We would love to return!

Swanage break

Booking, checking in/out and overall communication with Katie the owner was smooth and efficient.We were walking the Coast Path and Katie kindly allowed us to check in early to drop of some essentials. The property was clean tidy and comfortable. The shower was great. The beds comfy and for 4 men the property was large enough to accommodate us comfortably. We had a great time.

Great house in central Swanage

We had a super time staying here. It’s a well proportioned, well equipped property in the centre of Swanage. It’s tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, and is near to shops, the beach and lots of eateries. I’d throughly recommend staying, and Katie provided fantastic information about the property and the area.

Perfect location and great house

We stayed here with family and it was a really lovely, well equipped, modernised house. The location was perfect for town, seafront and walking, but in a very quiet side street. The house was well decorated and clean. Lovely shower and comfy beds. Thank you.

Perfect location

This was a lovely, well equipped property, in a quiet, private town location, 2 minutes away from the beach. Our host was very accommodating and friendly. Although there was no parking, we had no problems parking our two cars all week on nearby streets.

Perfect location, clean and tidy house on 3 floors

The house is ideal for young families as there are 3 good sized bedrooms over 3 floors. It is so close to Swanage town and beach and very clean with everything you could possibly need for a lovely beach holiday! Slight downside for us was the fact there is no downstairs loo, and the stairs are very steep so my elderly mum struggled to get up and downstairs. Also parking is limited and is on a first come first service basis so is not always possible to park on the road, but we did manage to get one on day two and just stayed there all week as we were so close to the town!

Great location, clean property, well equipped for families

A well presented property, well equipped for self catering and also close to everywhere: eateries, beach, pubs, cinema etc. Parking tricky in street but you could unload and park in the nearby car park which in winter/spring is only a pound a day at time of writing. The stairs are very steep if you are not used to them and the ceiling on the stair well a little low if you are tall, but the rooms are very well proportioned, and warm in winter and the bathroom is also a nice size and warm. If you have children then there are tons of games and loads of DVDs for kids and adults, so even if it is a rainy day, you can still have fun inside : )

About the host

Hosted by Katie

Host profile image
We have been coming on holiday to Swanage for the last 8 years and this is our holiday home from home. As a result the house is very well furnished for a holiday house. We love visiting Swanage as the area is so beautiful and there is so much to do whatever you are interested in.

Why they chose this property

Our house is very much a home from home. We have furnished it in a way we hope guests find comfortable and after staying in many holiday homes we hope we have provided what people expect when they come away from home. There are black out blinds and curtains in every room so you are not woken early. The beds are all comfy with good quality bed linen. The towels are large, soft and fluffy. The shower is powerful with instant hot water. The kitchen is very well stocked. We can cook a roast dinner or bake cup cakes. There is plenty of cutlery and crockery so you do not need to be washing dishes after every meal. We provide dishwasher liquid, cloths, washing up liquid, soap and a couple of toilet rolls to get you started. If you happen to have a rainy day or just want to take it easy there are lots of games in the house or DVDs to enjoy. There is DAB radio in the kitchen.

The house is very central but still in a very quiet road. You really don't need your car when you visit. The beach is less than 5 minutes walk. If you forget something when you visit the beach it is easy to pop home. You are close to all the shops and restaurants and amenities that Swanage has to offer. It is a great base for all the festivals that Swanage has throughout the year.
