If anything the photos of the terrace/deck area donât fully convey what a great space it is having a panoramic view over the whole bay. Thanks to the sunshine and very helpful owner our whole family had a really memorable time.

Perfect location with great beach access and an easy walk in to town. The house is very spacious, clean and very well equipped. Beds are very comfy and showers are great.

Rachel
The location is amazing with access directly on to the beach. The house is well furnished and the bathrooms are modern with great showers. The beds are comfortable. Everything is decked out in a neutral palette which worked well. The boys loved the pool table and the paddle board. The morning sun on the outdoor space was amazing, it was very calm and peaceful. We just wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you to the owner for being available and friendly. Having never been to Swanage before we would love to re-visit.
