    Lovely position on the clifftop overlooking Swanage bay. About a mile in to town, and there were 154 private steps down to the beach, enabling you to walk to/from town along the promenade. Location was quiet.

    This is a really lovely quaint little cottage, situated in a great location only a 15-20 minute walk down to the seafront/town centre - beautiful views out of the window, lovely private garden to relax in. Comfy beds, kitchen facilities are all good (oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, big fridge and drinks fridge) Clean bathroom, the shower is extremely powerful, but just make sure you get the temperature right before you get in as it can get quite hot!
