Spend your days exploring the Victorian Pier, or perhaps try your hand at fishing, diving and sailing, with boat hire available from the harbour. This stunning coastline is the ideal base for long walks via the South West Coast path or you can head inland and explore the many picturesque villages nearby, including Langton and Worth Matravers. A steam railway line runs from Swanage itself to the village of Corfe Castle, home to historic castle ruins that are cared for by the National Trust. Situated in one of the oldest parts of Swanage and nestled in the centre of a small terrace, this delightful Grade II listed former quarryman's cottage dates back to 1750. It blends contemporary comfort with many original features, including a charming courtyard garden that leads to the entrance. Once inside you are met with a galley kitchen, equipped with an electric range style oven and hob, accessed via a curtain is a utility area with washing machine, fridge/freezer and microwave.

Next door is an inviting lounge with a beautiful flag stone floor and striking fireplace complete with wood burner. This room is the perfect space in which to relax after a day spent exploring as it also has a Smart TV/DVD and dining space so you can enjoy leisurely meals together.

An optional stair gate on the landing provides peace of mind for those with younger children. There are two comfortable bedrooms, one a king size and the other a bunk bedroom (suitable for one adult or two children), which share the bathroom. The bathroom is Jack and Jill style and accessed through either bedroom and has a hand held shower over bath and WC.
