There are many great attractions on offer in the traditional seaside town of Swanage, including a bay backed by a golden sandy beach, a good selection of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants as well as amusements suitable for all ages. Head to the Victorian Pier, try your hand at a round of crazy golf or hire a pedaloe and spend some time on the water. This picturesque coastline is also a popular base for long walks via the South West Coast path or you can head inland and explore the many pretty villages nearby, including Corfe Castle, home to historic castle ruins cared for by the National Trust. Travel by steam train and really make a day of it. Ride the ferry to Brownsea Island or visit the RSPB site at Arne and admire the wildlife

Its a beautiful house and very comfortable. We reported ants and someone arrived that day to tackle the issue. Our only issue was the drive has a hump that grounded our car, damaging the undertray. Ours is an estate car which is longer than an average hatchback/suv etc. Other reviews mentioned parking on the drive could be tricky.

A very comfortable holiday home with excellent views of the Purbeck Hills. It is in a quiet residential road and has 2 pubs, a Costcutter shop, Indian restaurant and fish and chip shop all within a 5 minute walk.

Quite a large semi but only one small WC upstairs could be a real problem especially when catering for 4 people. Really needs a downstairs loo too. Plumbing is real guesswork as some taps have hot on the left (which is the correct standard) others have cold flowing from the left. Found this very enjoying at times. Otherwise, a good place to stay apRead moreart from all the hills and a really steep driveway. Hide
