A lovely contemporary new build home in the charming seaside town of Swanage. Sleeping four guests across two bedrooms, it’s ideal for small families or a group of friends seeking a stylish base on the Dorset coast. Start your day with a stroll to the sandy Swanage beach (0.4 miles) or along Swanage Pier (1 mile), where you’ll find stunning views, as well as opportunities for swimming, fishing, diving, water sports and boat trips (in season). Later, explore the natural beauty of Durlston Country Park and Durlston Castle (1.5 miles) or head to historic Corfe Castle on the steam train. Dorset’s fabulous coast to Old Harry Rocks (3.4 miles) and Studland Beach as well as the countryside is there to be explored. In the evening, take a night off from cooking and venture to one of the many pubs and restaurants tucked within the town centre (0.5 Miles).

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a welcoming hallway and to the left you find the bright and airy lounge/kitchen/diner to the left. Bathed in natural light and thoughtfully decorated, take a moment to make yourself at home before rustling up some dinner for your loved ones in the sleek kitchen. Get everyone together to eat at the stylish four-seater table in the dining area and then make a beeline for the sofa to catch up on your favourite TV shows. At the end of the day, you’ll find two beautifully styled bedrooms waiting for you. The first features a king-size bed, while the second is a lovely twin room. A stylish shower room with a WC is also on the ground floor. Follow the narrow staircase up to the mezzanine-style snug on the first floor, where the sofa bed and bean bags make a great hangout spot for younger family members, or take a soak in the contemporary family bathroom next door. Due to the setting within the eaves, there are some areas of restricted head height on the first floor, which adds to the charm of the property.

Head through the doors from the kitchen/living/dining room and you’ll find a lovely, private garden – the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine. Light the charcoal BBQ and relax while the kids play freely in the enclosed space. A handy storage area at the side of the property is perfect for bikes and water sports equipment. Off-road parking is available for a large car or two small cars.

• 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size and 1 twin room
• 2 bathrooms – 1 bathroom with WC, 1 shower room with WC
• Electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine
• 1 Smart TV in the lounge 
• Enclosed garden with raised, furnished deck, patio, lawn and charcoal BBQ area
• Off-road parking for 2 small cars or 1 large car
• Shop, beach and pub all 0.5 miles
• Storage area for bikes and water sports equipment
• Please note that there are some areas of restricted headroom on the first floor due to the characterful eaves of the property

Very well refurbished cottage. Everything looked brand new when we arrived. So comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the different walks into town, to the beach or through the allotments with our dogs.

Wow, what a great property in a perfect location. Everything your could want and more. One minute stroll down to a large dog friendly park in a quiet area. Yet only 10 minute walk from the beach and dog friendly town. 10/10

Heathers is such a beautifully created holiday home. We loved the addition of the space upstairs our boys spent lots of time chilling in there. The house has everything you need and is in close proximity to a huge green space for the dogs and kids with a fab play park. (2 min walk). It is a level walk to town and the beach (approx 10mins). Off roadRead more parking is a bonus and although close to a main road it is so quiet. We will definitely be back! Hide

Lovely property, really well equipped. We had a lovely stay. Our first stay in Swanage. Property is just a short stroll to beach, shops etc very convenient. Swanage is very dog friendly and we enjoyed cafes, shops and beach with our dog. We hope to stay again sometime.

Excellent holiday home. The quality of the property fit out and facilities are first class. This combined with its quiet location but still near to the town centre/sea front make this a property we would not hesitate to return to.

We, 3 adults and 2 dogs had a wonderful stay at Heathers. The house is beautiful, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Dog walks in Studland are amazing, lots of pubs & restaurants to easily walk to, the host was easy to contact and always on hand if you needed help. We cant wait to return.

Nice new build with excellent facilities. Impeccable attention to detail. Our puppy had his first time at the seaside, so great being so close to the beach. Which was open to dogs in the winter months.
