Swanage Escape

Spend quality time with your loved ones in this smart semi-detached holiday home on the outskirts of the coastal town of Swanage. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms, it’s a wonderful accommodation choice for large families or groups of friends who want to reconnect and relax on the beautiful Dorset coast together. During the day, pack up a picnic and head to Swanage Beach. In the evening, head out on to the cottage's deck, pour yourself a glass of something cool and crisp, and soak up the views of the rolling hills.

Kick off your shoes in the quaint porch and step inside and you'll be greeted by an inviting hallway that leads you to the spacious lounge with minimalist yet cosy decor. When it's time to eat, head to the stylish, bright kitchen to whip up some dinner for your loved ones. Host a sociable meal in the wonderfully light and spacious conservatory-turned-dining-room - a space that seamlessly connects indoor comfort with the beauty of the garden. Alternatively, slide the French doors open and step out onto the lovely rear deck if you’d like to dine alfresco. After dinner, chill out with a glass of wine in the garden (please note five steps take you down to the garden from the deck), or stretch out in front of your favourite TV show in the sitting room. At the end of the day, there are three stylish bedrooms upstairs to choose from - one king-size, one twin and one single. From the king-size room, there are wonderful sea views. A chic family bathroom with a convenient shower over the bath completes the layout of this smart home.

Grab your walking boots and embark on a nature-filled adventure at Durlston Country Park (2 miles). You'll find an iconic castle and hopefully spot some of its 250 bird species along its pretty walking trails. Alternatively, take a leisurely coastal walk to Studland Bay (4 miles), where you'll discover a beautiful sandy beach backed by heathland and dunes.
