Good location for walking into the town centre. Be prepared for lots of hills and steep slopes, people with walking issues beware.

A lovely little cottage on Swanage high street. Exposed beams and stone work make it feel extra special. A very short walk down to the town centre and up the high street to The Black Swan.

Two Hoots is a lovely, historic stone cottage in the heart of Swanage. It is a charming place to stay, and close to all Swanage's attractions with the town centre, beach, shops, train station, theatre and pier only a few minutes stroll away. Two Hoots is also the perfect base to explore the surrounding Purbeck area, with fantastic walks along the JRead moreurassic Coast to the east and west that you can get to on foot in just a few minutes, as well as being only a short drive to Corfe Castle, Wareham, and RSPB Arne. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and hope to return before too long. Hide

A lovely cottage in a great location with all amenities. The owner kindly left flowers and biscuits for us which was a sweet gesture!

All in all, we enjoyed the cottage and local pubs/ eateries. Swanage and the surrounding area were a pleasure in the English summer that we enjoyed. It only rained all the first night but after that, the courtyard at the rear of the cottage became nicely sunny and a pleasure to be in

Lovely character cottage, close to lots of pubs, restaurants and shops and of course the beach, but tucked away on a quieter road. Courtyard tiny, but just enough room to sit and have a coffee. Very pleasant place.
