A lovely cottage, right on the sea front with the advantage of it's own parking space. There's a few stairs up to the flat but the benefit is the most amazing views over the bay. The sunrises are particularly spectacular. The cottage has pretty much everything you need, washing machine/dryer, small dishwasher, iron & ironing board. There's even somRead moree beach chairs and mats and equipment to use. It's also close to the centre of things in Swanage with several pubs restaurants and pubs within a very short walk. Close buy are Studland beach for swimming, Kimmeridge bay for fossils, Monkey world and we did a fishing trip from Swanage pier. Hide

The location was very convenient for the beach and town centre shops. Only slight downsides were parking - you have to get expert at tucking in well and turning in small spaces, the stairs - only a problem if you are getting on in age and your family want you to carry all the bags up and down, and the proximity to bars which were a little noisy on Read moreFriday night.

The property is central to facilities that Swanage offers, with uninterrupted views of the bay. The car did not move from the front parking as we used the easily accessed bus service when we travelled out of Swanage. We found that pre-booking for dining out was the norm.
