Overview
Property code: 84019

A wonderful three-bedroom cottage in the heart of Swanage, the ideal location for those looking to enjoy days out at the beach fossil hunting and exploring the local history.

Nestled on a cobbled lane in the heart of Swanage, this three-bedroom cottage offers the perfect base for coastal adventures in Dorset. Sleeping six guests and welcoming up to two happy hounds, this picture-perfect cottage is ideal for a family-friendly break or a getaway with friends – and man’s best friend at your side. Sniff out adventure fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast by day, and let sleeping dogs lie by night as you unwind in the delightful cottage gardens and enjoy sociable evenings in the lounge.

Inside, this two-storey cottage is warm and welcoming, with everything your pack needs for a comfortable stay. The open-plan kitchen and dining room offers ample space for you to prepare and enjoy delicious home-cooked treats, with the patio doors thrown open so your pups can explore and play at leisure. The garden is a delight, with little nooks tucked amongst flowerbeds offering space to dine alfresco or just enjoy a cuppa or glass of wine in the salty sea air. Fill the air with laughter and chatter in the light-filled lounge as you catch up with your favourite TV shows or just enjoy quality time with your loved ones, pups snoozing in front of the open fire on chilly evenings. Upstairs, a king-size bedroom, bunkroom for two, and bedroom with zip-and-link beds offer flexible sleeping arrangements for your group. A family bathroom completes the interior.

Let your pups lead the way to adventure in the morning as you head for zoomies on the beach – Monkey beach and North beach are dog friendly all year, while Main beach has summer restrictions. There are plenty of opportunities for walkies too with cliff-top views from the coastal path, and Durlston Country Park and Nature Reserve within easy walking distance. History-loving hounds will love a trip on the Swanage steam train to explore the ruins of Corfe Castle, while sea dogs will be delighted with a trip on the Jurassic Coast Cruise.

This is right in the heart of Swanage - moments away from beach front, pier, shops and the bars and restaurants. It's a fantastic location if you want to be in the "thick of it"... The cottage is lovely and clean and spacious... and the kitchen is well equipped. We did find it a little noisy on Friday/Saturday night but we soon fell asleep after alRead morel the walking and relaxing in the sunshine. I enjoyed all the outdoor options to catch the sun and dogs loved the v.nearby park x Hide

Lovely cottage within minutes of the town, beach and restaurants, parking is only a short walk from the cottage as mentioned, and was quiet easy to get parked for free in the street mentioned on the site. Great pub 1 min from the cottage with very friendly staff!

Lovely cottage. Excellent facilities which are all high quality, really well stocked kitchen which made it easy to self cater in. Dog friendly with a sunny garden. Very close to town which was great. Fast response from the owner with an issue that needed sorting. Probably needs the boiler and central heating instructions in a more prominent place. Read moreWi fi dodgy but assume that was the supplier rather than a house issue. Needs a shower mat, slipped on the first day and hurt my hip replacement. Hide

We loved the location of the house as you could easily walk everywhere, the beach, shops, cliff top park and was relatively quiet despite being near the high street, a pub and Indian takeaway. It was our first visit to Swanage and we loved it! Kitchen well equipped. Very comfy beds and quality bedding appreciated.

Very lovely comfortable house to stay in with family and friends. Incredibly close to many restaurants, pubs and shops in the town. Brilliant hosts who communicated with us very well - recommended Highly recommend that people book restaurant and pub tables in advance as always busy The best place to eat is The black swan and the red lion

A beautiful cottage. Amazing location - really close to the town centre and beach and brilliant for dogs being so close to the greenery. The cottage is very well equipped - there is everything in the kitchen and it makes staying away so much easier. Really clean too.

The cottage is located at the top of a steep cobbled walkway. There is no parking however after unloading I did find a space on the next road and left my car there all week. The property is so conveniently situated in the heart of the town centre. There are numerous pubs, restaurants, shops, and takeaways right on your doorstep. The beach and pier Read moreare also very close by and there are lovely walks, albeit quite hilly. I was extremely pleased with our choice of cottage. Hide
