The best rental property we've ever had in Swanage

Very well-appointed cottage in an enviable location close to the town centre, the beach and parkland.Plus points•Beautifully clean and tidy on arrival.•Large well-equipped kitchen/diner and comfortable lounge. •Lots of storage space for cases, backpacks, walking boots etc.•Off-street parking (suitable for vehicles up to medium sized family cars) is a rare bonus in Swanage.Limitations (these are not criticisms, merely factors inherent in an older property in the heart of a historic town to be considered)•The double bedroom is small•The stairs are steep and could be difficult for small children or those with infirmities•Only one WC During our stay we were unlucky to encounter problems with both the wi-fi and the TVs. The owner was swift to work to rectify these issues and we were confident that she is a capable, caring and conscientious host.We would certainly be happy to return

Swanage cottage

Very well-equipped and clean property. Particularly excellent were the location (just a short walk down the hill to the seafront, shops, pubs and restaurants) and the fact that there is a parking spot. We would certainly stay again.

Wonderful stay in Swanage

Stayed at the property for 5 nights and I can't fault it. The downstairs space was generous, and the kitchen well equipped. The location was amazing! It was about a 1 minute before you reach the local fish and chip shop and you're immediately in town. Planning my next visit already!

really amazing in every respect

We felt good and comfortable in Sunnybank from the first moment, enjoyed the large balcony for meals and a bottle of wine in the sunny evenings. The flat is located perfectly with only little traffic, but just a short distance to town, shops, beach, restaurants and pubs (don´t miss The White Swan). Really nice and helpful contact to Sarah; thank you very much. It´s a long way to go from nothern Germany to Swanage, but it´s worth it and we´ll surely come back.

Lovely cottage

Lovely stay in Dorset cottage, property is ideally located close to high street and main parade a must with car park space, really well equipped. Only downside is very small main bedroom but don’t dwell on that as the property as a whole far makes up for it and photos are accurate.

Sunnybank

Everything we expected and more. The location within Swanage is perfect. A two minute walk to all the shops, pubs, restaurants and beach but still nice and quite at the property. Off street parking on the driveway ticked our box for convenience. The property was clean, spacious and well decorated with everything we needed. Beds where very comfortable. Sky tv, DVDs, board games. Nice overhead shower. Sarah is a top host. She messaged us to confirm property was ready for access before the stated check in time. We was also welcomed with a fresh cream cake on the kitchen table. Such a kind gesture. Thank you so much Sarah, we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend. All the best Steve and Sarah 🍰🌼

Holiday close to Swanage Town centre and beach

Kitchen well-equipped. Cleaners had left sink very stained but rest of kitchen very clean and well decorated. Similarly the lounge. Upstairs light and airy. We knew the main bedroom was going to be small but lots of cupboards in second room. Nice to sit out on upstairs terrace. Toilet very stained but rest of bathroom clean. We were expecting dishwasher tablets and waste food bags but found none. We would have liked to have given a better review as the owner had created a lovely property and provided everything that makes a great holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah

Sarah and Andy have owned this property for several years and decided to let it out so that others could enjoy it. Our children have enjoyed many wonderful summers in Swanage and now return as young adults to spend time with their friends.

Why they chose this property

A super cute property with enough space for a family to kick back and relax. So close to the town, beach and gardens and no need to drive anywhere unless you want to.
