Set in the semi-rural setting of Herston Yards Farm, a wonderful holiday park resting on the outskirts of Swanage near the Dorset coastline, lies this charming, three-bedroom holiday lodge, Oaks. With an exquisite, wood-clad exterior, a well-appointed, open-plan living space, a tremendous proximity to an on-site shop and pub, this delightful home welcomes a large family or group of friends who are seeking their next relaxing escape within the gorgeous setting of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. After you've settled into your new home-from-home, get to work in the lodge's fully-equipped kitchen, where you'll find all the appliances you need to cook up a hearty, home-cooked dinner. Savour your meals at the dining table, or take your feasts outside onto the outdoor decking, where you can raise a toast to your getaway, and even indulge in a long, hot soak in your very own private hot tub once you've finished wining and dining. After the sun has set, treat yourself to an indulgent, rejuvenating shower or bath before you tuck yourself in for a well-earned rest in any of the three inviting bedrooms, each one featuring a Freeview-enabled TV. When you're ready, head out and explore what your local surroundings have in store. Head over on foot to The Shop and The Old Mess Room, two nearby on-site locations that allow you to stock up on homely essentials and enjoy a tasty, sit-down meal, respectively. Your trip to the region would be incomplete without spending a day in Swanage, the town offering visitors a chance to take a peaceful stroll along the idyllic spots of Swanage Bay and Pier, as well as embark on a historic train ride along the popular Swanage Railway! Perfect for any season, book Oaks for an unforgettable escape to Dorset.
Swanage is a small, family-friendly beach town on the renowned Isle of Purbeck, at the eastern extremity of Dorset's renowned Jurassic Coast. Swanage is arguably best known for its lovely, gently sloping golden sands. The small town is well renowned for its annual jazz festival, which is held in July, and for its abundance of stores, fine taverns, and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood. The charming Victorian wooden pier is a lovely spot to promenade, go fishing, or just sit and take in the sights. It's also a popular starting point for divers. Regular vintage steam engine excursions transport tourists on a charming 6-mile journey, chugging through gorgeous countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle, from the town's terminal on the historic Swanage Railway. With beautiful coastline walks, dolphin sightings, and wildlife viewing in addition to comfortable viewing areas and a well stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air, nearby Durlston Country Park makes for a fantastic day out. Take the frequent chain ferry that travels over the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks and the short drive to Studland, which has one of the best beaches in the nation and is bordered by heathland. Any time of year, you can have a wonderful holiday here.

We moved two single beds together and discovered mould and a mouldy mouth guard on the floor on one side and lots of rubbish

The place was very roomy although it could have accommodated more people. Liked the fact too that the site itself was just outside Swanage itself but close enough to get to easily. My Grandaughter loved the fact it had the bonus of a hot tub. My only one reget that we were too early in the season (due to school term dates) for some facilities on the site to be open (ie restaurant and pub).
