    “I would 100% recommend this property to any family visiting Swanage.”

    It was clean, well equipped and in a good location. Value for money was brilliant. There are a couple of points to make it perfect: 1. The temperature for the shower on the basement level did not work and it was very hot. There are 2 other bathrooms so not the end of the world but probably an easy fix. 2. There are quite a lot of bugs/moths on the basement level. Again, not the end of the world but probably should be looked into. 3. The blinds/curtains in the rooms are not great and it is ...

    It was clean, well equipped and in a good location. Value for money was brilliant. There are a couple of points to make it perfect: 1.

There are quite a lot of bugs/moths on the basement level. Again, not the end of the world but probably should be looked into. 3. The blinds/curtains in the rooms are not great and it is very light. Okay for adults, but not for children. Anyone looking to stay should also be aware that there are a lot of stairs in the property, and if they are coming with small children, they may want to bring stair-gates (if possible).

The property

Bay View is a welcoming holiday home located in the elevated area of Swanage, Dorset.

This home is a fantastic choice for a big family get-together or a getaway with friends due to its gorgeous views from the lovely garden and an interior filled with home amenities.

When you get to the cottage, park up at the roadside before entering to start your break.

With a convenient dishwasher to assist with clean-up, a well-equipped kitchen/diner provides everything you need to cook up a family dinner to enjoy at the dining table for 10.

After dinner, challenge your friends to a game of table football in the handy utility room, then unwind in the sitting room to catch up on your favourite shows.

A king-size bed and two double beds are suitable for the couples in the group, while a family room is best for those travelling with young children and a single bed is perfect for a youngster or even a grandparent.

Take advantage of the garden area as well; the decking is a great place to have your morning coffee while taking in the view, and the lower patio is a great place for the kids to play.

When it's time to explore, make sure to walk along the pier and Purbeck Heritage Coast before arriving at Peveril Point.

Visit Studland, which is well-known for its Nature Reserve and the Old Harry Rocks, to continue your exploration.

You can travel a little farther still to the town of Bournemouth, which offers dining and shopping alternatives as well as an Oceanarium and pier for those group members who enjoy seeing marine life.

For an unforgettable getaway, bring your friends and family to Bay View.

About the location

SWANAGE

Wareham 9.7 miles; Poole 20 miles.

The small, family-friendly seaside resort of Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck and is probably best known for its wonderful, gently shelving golden sands. The little town offers visitors plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and is also well known for its annual jazz festival, which takes place each July. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers, it’s a wonderful place to watch the world pass by. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a picturesque 6-mile journey, chugging through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. Nearby Durlston Country Park offers a lovely day out with spectacular coastal walks, dolphin spotting and wildlife watching, together with comfortable viewing points and a well-stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air. Take the short drive to Studland, which has one of the finest beaches in the country, surrounded by heathland, together with the regular chain ferry, which crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks. This truly is a delightful holiday destination at any time of the year.

Parking: Unrestricted on-street parking (available on a first come first served basis).
