1 Bed in Swanage (oc-l30493)

Set in a picturesque Purbeck village this delightful retreat is an ideal holiday home for up to two guests discovering the idyllic countryside and glorious coastlines of a serene corner of Dorset. Lying on the outskirts of Harman’s Cross, the property offers miles of tranquil country and coastal walks. The historic village of Corfe Castle (2miles) is home to the impressive remains of a thousand-year-old castle with glorious views over the beautiful surrounding landscapes. Heading east, the cheerful Victorian-era seaside resort of Swanage (3 miles) has a lovely long sandy beach along the bay, with a beautifully restored pier and charming seafront. Studland is further along the coast (6 miles) or you can head inland to the bustling market town of Wareham (7 miles). Other local attractions include Old Harry Rocks, Dancing Ledge, The Blue Pool, and Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, all within 9 miles. There are easy walks and cycle routes to local pubs in the villages of Worth Matravers, Langton Matravers and Corfe Castle. Harmans Cross steam railway station is just a short stroll down the road which serves the scenic route between Swanage and Corfe Castle.


A gentle sloping path leads up and into this cute and intimate single-level hideaway. Inside, you will be greeted by the cheerful open-plan lounge/kitchenette/diner/bedroom which is set beneath a high vaulted ceiling with wooden beams. The central lounge area has a comfortable sofa, and the charming dining table is perfect for sharing a romantic meal for two which you can rustle up in the useful and thoughtfully arranged kitchenette to the side which has large ceiling-high windows looking out across the garden. To the rear of this simply decorated and tastefully furnished lodge there’s a lovely king-size bed with a view towards the Smart TV, alongside a beautifully tiled en-suite shower room with a refreshing shower and a WC.


Heading outside, you will find a sweet garden space with outdoor furniture, making a relaxing spot where you can sit out and enjoy a peaceful drink on a sunny afternoon.
