Situated on the outskirts of Swanage with easy access to the town and beach, this property has been carefully renovated with the thought of family and friends enjoying their stay. Swanage is a traditional coastal town with a popular sandy beach and a great selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Rolling hills surround the town, ensuring you’ll have the best of both worlds when it comes to walking routes, with the South West Coast Path, Ballard Down and Durlston Country Park all within 2 miles. From here, you can take the steam train to Corfe Castle, which is home to castle ruins cared for by the National Trust, as well as pretty streets to explore. Within 14 miles are many attractions including Monkey World, The Tank Museum, RSPB Arne, the walled town of Wareham, and abandoned Tyneham village. The South West Coast path is only 1.5 miles from the property and is well worth the trip as the views are fantastic any time of the year, with ever-changing scenery.

Welcome to this cosy semi-detached haven, where comfort and convenience await at every turn. As you step through the threshold, a quaint porch welcomes you, providing the perfect space to shed muddy boots after a day of thrilling exploration. Moving into the light and airy hallway, you'll find easy access to the heart of the home, a well-equipped kitchen adorned with a charming breakfast bar, inviting you to whip up culinary delights or enjoy a casual meal in a relaxed setting. Adjacent to the kitchen, a convenient side door leads to the garden, offering a practical space to store bikes, kayaks and paddleboards, catering perfectly to adventurous spirits eager to explore the outdoors while ensuring a clutter-free interior sanctuary. Step into the heart of relaxation and entertainment in this delightful living space. The living room is a haven of comfort equipped with a state-of-the-art Smart TV, inviting you to enjoy your favourite shows or movies in high definition. As you meander through, you'll find the space seamlessly opens up into a charming conservatory-turned-dining-room, adorned with a spacious table, perfect for intimate family meals. The French doors gracefully lead to the rear decking, extending the living space outdoors, and creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the beauty of the garden. This inviting layout offers the ideal setting for cherished moments with friends and family. Ascend the stairs to discover the cosy sanctuaries of this charming abode. Offering a restful escape, three beautifully appointed bedrooms await your arrival.

Accommodation is spacious and comfortable and we liked the fact that the conservatory had heating so we could use it even in October. Easy driving distance to places of interest and there was access to a good dog walk a few hundred yards up the road. Drive was a bit small for our car but good on the road parking. Owner very helpful and offered to gRead moreo over specially to see if I had left my glasses Hide

A lovely comfortable and well equipped property. The whole family enjoyed our stay including the dogs. A bit of a walk from the town centre and beach but great for accessing surrounding areas.

We had a lovely stay at Family Tides and would recommend it to others. The milk, biscuits and other items like hand soap were much appreciated. A hose to attach to the outside tap would be useful for rinsing off wetsuits and beach stuff. The walk into town is lovely via the high street.

Spotlessly clean and newly furnished with fantastic views over the sea. The cottage is well laid out and equipped for a family holiday - we also had our 2 dogs and the garden proved perfect as a secure area for them to enjoy the sunshine. Highly recommended - we definitely plan to return.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at family tides. It was super clean and tidy and for a family is perfect. We would stay again. It is a 30 minute walk roughly to the beach so bear that in mind in the summer with young ones.
