A bright, welcoming, three-storey, terraced property, this renovated period home is perfect for a family get-away. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom abode is less than 0.5 miles from Swanage Beach, with its award-wining, family-friendly waters, and traditional seaside attractions. The property is also about 500 metres from the main shopping hub of the town, where you can potter in the shops and dine out in eateries. Other great places to visit include the restored Victorian pier, over 0.5 miles away, and the headland of Peveril Point, a 1-mile walk, where there are fabulous, coastal views. Head out of Swanage as well, to enjoy the glorious scenery of the Isle of Purbeck, including the beach at Studland Bay, 3.5 miles away.

Enter the property to find welcoming accommodation with a stylish yet homely ambience. The lounge has a wooden floor and comfortable seating, where you can settle in together for cosy movie nights after choosing a film on the TV or a DVD. The dining room, with its parquet floor and table to gather round, is next to the kitchen. The cottage-style kitchen, accessed by taking a step up and with cream units and wooden work surfaces, is fitted out with everything you are likely to need during your break and has doors on to the garden. Two double bedrooms and a bunk bedroom, all with blackout blinds, are on the first floor of the holiday home, together with a family bathroom. Another lounge, with an additional TV and DVD player, plus a games console, and skylight window, is on the second floor and makes a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the house for a spell.

The sun-soaked, split-level garden at this holiday home is decked and includes areas for simply sitting out in the warmth or for dining together. There is a BBQ for cooking supper out in the fresh air on occasion.

We had a lovely family holiday at Purbeck view. The house was immaculately clean and well equipped and appointed. Original cottages were very easy to deal with and arranged to extend our stay by a couple of days with no fuss.

A lovely house. Really good size and location. A surprisingly stunning view from attic and front bedroom. All amenities and equipment you would need and expect for a family. Very comfy beds. With two small children it was perfect. Storage (cupboard) would be an issue with bigger people. Lovely dining table and outside space, too.

We had a lovely family holiday in Swanage. We can recommend this accommodation for a family retreat. Although it is a little walk to Swanage front, it really was not an issue for us.

This was a fab home from home, light and airy with gorgeous features like the fireplaces, a brilliantly sized kitchen / diner area where we played cards while taking it in turns to cook and a lovely outside space. It was very family friendly - my children absolutely LOVED exploring the toys in both toy baskets (in dining room and top floor) whileRead more the adults had a go at some of the puzzles and I taught my daughter Connect 4. I also appreciated the well stocked plastic crockery / cups and the stairgate, which - even though the children are generally too old for one - it was good to use as the stairs were very steep. The location was great as well - right near the Black Swan and well stocked Spar shop and a nice walk into Swanage either past the church or down the High Street. The welcome pack a nice gesture and very appreciated - thank you. We hope to come back! Hide

Note: there were no dishwasher tablets or washing tablets in the boxes, which was contrary to the folder instructions... but that is a very minor point, aside from that, very happy with the property..
