Purbeck Stone Cottage Offering Contemporary Style Living With Original Features

Property was in a great location and very spacious.

We had a lovely holiday here. Perfect location, plenty of space, immaculate. We loved it ! 10/10 would recommend and would return.

This was a fantastic, well-appointed property, in a quiet back street in central Swanage. The owners were really easy to deal with, and there was an amazing pinboard/map/folder combination of information in the hallway of the property. 250m to the beach. 500m to the Pier. The property had everything we needed for 3 adults and 2 kids (Inc washing machine and drier after a particularly muddy walk to Chapman's Pool). The main living space is great, centred around a large dining table with double height ceiling. The kids commandeered the mezzanine for iPad watching which left the main lounge and dining area for adult usage. We made use of the HDMI for the main TV and the amazing Wifi for evening TV watching via Chromecast. If you don't have kids and actually want to go out in the evenings (!) the property is ideally located for pubs and restaurants. Even so, we took advantage of Castaways for a family meal out and Fish Plaice for a Friday night takeaway feast. Both 2 mins walk! We have visited Swanage before and would recommend for young families - there is enough to do in the town and by the beach (with a nice combination of shops and activities, not just arcades) but plenty to do in the locality as well. If you are walkers, we recommend the Old Harry's Rocks walk (especially the "double view" of Poole Harbour one way and Swanage Bay the other, on Ballard's Down). Early morning runs along the beach also a highlight of our stay for one member of the family.

Stayed here as a party of 5 friends and 1 dog, and couldn't have asked for a better place. Parking is tight but doable for two small-medium cars, the living space is a good size for a group, kitchen is fairly well-equipped, bedrooms are comfortable, but most importantly you're only a couple of minutes' walk from the sea, shops and other entertainments. It meant that even on a rainy day we could hunker down in the cottage but still pop out for an occasional thing (like fish & chips, say). If I come back to Swanage for future holidays I'll definitely look to see if this place is free again.

We've used 4 houses in Swanage and for the location,price and quality you will not find a better place to stay

Renting the property was easy. The owner responds quickly if you have any inquiries. A large comfortable space. We have rented twice now and really enjoy the premises. Would highly recommend.

We were impressed with the property as soon as we walked in & the outside patio was a lovely addition Loved the location & proximity to the town & the beach Having a parking space for our 2 cars was great (once we got used to how to do it!!) All in all a lovely property & we would love to return

Stunning building, great outdoor space with three pice patio furnatur and sun most of the day. Property is perfect location for all amenities and very dog friendly.

The house was amazing - brilliant facilities and the courtyard a fab sun trap. Definitely will be coming back.

I rented the property with my mum, partner and adult children one of whom was graduating from Bournemouth Uni. We also has our dog with us. We had fabulous weather, sunny though cold. The Old Bakery is perfectly located in Swanage, a short walk from the shops and seafront. The property is beautiful, with everything you might need. Nothing was too much trouble for Karen the owner. Swanage is really dog friendly too, we are already planning our return!

The house is near to everything no need to use your car. Beach , restaurants and everything in short walking distance. Comfortable house everything you need. Lovely shower and comfy beds.

Had a lovely week in Swanage, helped by the beautiful weather. Unrelated to accomodation but please be aware that lots of restaurants are not open throughout the week which meant it was great that we had a fully equipped kitchen to utilise. The accomodation was very comfortable and a great location right behind the high street, the welcome pack was a nice touch. We had an issue with the fridge at the beginning of our stay which was sorted really quickly by the owners with great communication. With 3 bedrooms plus the mezzanine this is a great place to stay with family and friends.

We loved our week in the old bakery. The photos on the site looked good, but they don’t do it justice- it’s even bigger with absolutely loads of room for everyone. The decor and facilities were to a very high standard, with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The location is also perfect- right in the heart of Swanage, but tucked away in a quiet mews, so you won’t get disturbed and can park right outside. It’s literally minutes to walk into town, to the beach, or to get fish and chips! We had a lovely week using it as a base to visits lulworth cove, brownsea island, kimmeridge and durkston. There’s so many beautiful beaches and breathtaking walks in the area we could easily have stayed another week.

Wonderful weeks stay, very comfortable and plenty of space to spread out! My son loved the bunk beds and my daughter enjoyed having a double bed to herself! Such an ideal location to explore the Jurassic coast. Walking distance to the beach and lots of great family friendly places to eat if you don't fancy cooking! Parking is a little tight, we have quite a large car but my husband found reversing up to the house gave him a better chance of swinging the car round, he was an expert by the end of the week! We definitely will be back, very sad to leave!

The accommodation was very central really great for the more elderly, clean and comfortable everything available that you might need. Good WiFi. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn’t so great but we just luv the area and made the best of a bad job. Would definitely recommend this property.

We had a lovely week . The house is very centrally located with a very very short walk into the town centre.! The house is very well equipped and suited all of our needs.Nice surprise was the welcome pack - thank-you!Would definitely stay again.

We were very pleased with The Old Bakery. It was more spacious than we expected, the large hallway was particularly useful when coming in with a push chair and wet footwear. We particularly liked the mezzanine level which was good for the 3 year old to escape to whilst we were still sitting at the table as she could still see and talk to us. It was very cosy up there and lovely to lie the baby on the carpet for a roll around.I think we would want more outside space in the summer, but it was good to be able to park two cars at the property.The house is very conveniently located just behind the High Street and only a short walk to the sea front, very handy with the children. Swanage is a great place to stay with a family, and we loved playing on the beach (even in October!); flying a kite on the clifftop; walking to Durlston Head; taking the train to Corfe Castle and a boat to Brownsea Island.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to friends and family.

Just a 2 min walk to the shops and restaurants, and 5 mins to the sea front . House is wonderfully equipped and clean. Just loved our stay and can’t wait to come back .

This property is in a great location, close to the shops and beach but still very quiet. It was very clean and comfortable and the welcome pack was a great addition. We loved it.

Lovely spacious property and very clean. Just of the main main town so very peaceful at night. Close to shops and the beach . Had the best holiday.

This is a great property in a very convenient location, steps from the High Street and a short walk to the beach. It’s at least as good as advertised and good value for money. The neighbours were all friendly and made us feel quite welcome.

Perfect little place for a stay in Swanage. Spotlessly clean, lovely welcome pack, warm and family friendly. Great touches such as cupboard full of games, logs for the fire, quality bedding and great showers. Thank you!

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location just a hop from the town and the beach. We hope to return one day!

Ideal location. Bring your own milk. Furnishings in the living area are tired and the kitchen area needs a thorough clean. Parking can be an issue as residents aren’t always considerate.

Very convenient for all amenities. Great to be so near town and have parking. Considering it was so close to town it was peaceful.

Fabulous location, plenty of space, the property was really well appointed, everything we needed was in the house, we had great communication and service. Swanage itself was really lovely. Parking is limited but we only had two small cars so we were okay but there was on road parking to be had nearby. We had fabulous weather which meant we were out and about all day every day.

Great property-historical on the outside-modern on the inside. Well appointed. Excellent location.

We have just spent a wonderful week at The Old Bakery. The accommodation is spacious and the cottage extremely well equipped. It was very clean on arrival and had a lovely welcome basket of goodies. The location is superb; it is minutes from the town, beach, and local walks. Parking is tight but we managed with 2 large cars and if you can use one throughout it saves tight manoeuvring every time you go out. We were 4 adults and a baby and the layout really suited us with plenty of room for all. This is a great cottage and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Communication great and easy check in. Highly recommend.

This property is in a perfect location on Swanage. Walking distance to the shops, beach, pier, places to eat and the castle. Lovely place full of character. Our only complain t was the cleanliness of it. Towels and bedding were great but we had to wash kitchen utensils, pots and pans and the kitchen table etc before we could use them
