Head further out across the Purbeck Peninsula to enjoy its many beauty spots, including Lulworth Cove, 15.5 miles away.

On the whole, a really nice place to stay. Good parking space. Very well equipped. Really appreciated the fact that there was an electric fire in the sitting room. It was really cold on the evening we arrived. Nice comfy beds. Really useful to have an outside clothes line too, it meant we could dry the towels off. All in all a very enjoyable weekRead more.

We stayed one week with Kids (7 and 11) and it was great. The house and the kitchen are perfectly equipped. Very quiet so we slept wonderful. City center, bus/train station, beach and walks are within walking distance, so the car remained mostly at the parking.

Herbert's Place was a lovely property. The decor was very smart, clean and 'seasidey.' The kitchen was well equipped. There was even a steamer which is very rare in holiday lets. Good washing line for drying swimming stuff! Comfortable beds and peaceful location close to the town centre and sea. Great little courtyard with a shelter awning over thRead moree table and chairs if needed. All the crockery and cooking utensils seemed new, and in very good condition, as were the furnishings. Quality Bosch cooker and hob, and very new dishwasher too. The parking space is a real bonus in Swanage. But you don't need a car once you're there. Short walk into town, paths to Durlston, and along the coast. And from the town there's the steam train to Corfe Castle. We'd recommend the Breezer buses too. Wrap up warm though on the top deck if you are coming back later! Hide

This is a very nice property and is decorated and fitted out to a very high standard. The owners have thought of everything down to the washing up liquid. The small rear garden is compact and tidy with table and chairs . Also there is a parasol with garden chairs to enjoy the sun in peace.
