  • "We have just spent a lovely week at Seaview celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary with our family."

    It was our Grandchildren's first holiday, aged 10 months and 3 months old and Seaview is perfect for larger family gatherings. Lovely being able to park three cars and not needing them during our stay as we walked everyday into town and went on the steam train to Corfe one day. Lots of places to eat but make sure you pre book. Black Swan and La Trattoria were our favourite alongside the Fish Plaice. They even have a Wimpy! Seaview has wonderful views from the front of the bungalow and is a lovely quiet location. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay here, well equipped and spacious and a lovely big Utility room which can easily accommodate a couple of prams. We would definitely recommend staying here.

  • "We had a fabulous week in Seaview, which was spacious, light and airy, and very comfortable."

    The two little girls loved all the playing spaces and the garden, and having such an excellent kitchen-utility space was a real boon. Everything a family needs is there, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    It was perfect for our two families, and had everything that we needed, which I had planned but not necessarily expected! My granddaughter who is 2, loved running round safely. The weather stopped us going outside, but that would have been good too.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Seaview."

    The property is as described, comfortable and very spacious for 7 people. Its location is great, very close to Swanage town centre, but nice and quiet and with plenty of off road parking which is rare (we agree that reversing down the shared driveway is best!) We agree with previous feedback that the fridge is a little small for the size of the property and in our opinion the addition of a pair of oven gloves, a tumble dryer and some fans for hot weather would all enhance the property's facilities. The property has WiFi, however the speed during our stay was very inconsistent and therefore it was not possible to stream a film. We would love to stay here again in the future if we return to Swanage with our extended family. Thanks for a nice stay.

    Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Seaview and Swanage. We are delighted to say that from November 2024 Seaview now has a second fridge in the Utility Room, and that we have upgraded to Fibre Broadband now that it has become available in Swanage.

  • "Seaview is an absolute gem."

    The proximity to the seafront and town is a major plus point, just a couple of minutes down the hill. The house felt expansive which meant it was perfect for two families sharing without being on top of each other. It’s super clean, very well presented and welcoming. It’s clear how much effort is made to provide a comfortable stay for guests. Well equipped kitchen. We’d love to go back!

  • "Joy and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “Seaview”."

    It’s incredibly well equipped with many thoughtful extras including the “welcome basket” . We both slept well in excellent beds. But we did struggle with some of the modern appliances despite full instructions. Age will tell! We endorse some earlier comments such as regretting no food bin waste and no bin in the bedroom. A chair in there would have been useful as well, also a hook on both the bathroom and bedroom door. The conservatory is a wonderful facility with a pleasant outlook. We were fortunate to look out on a great array of daffodils! One practical suggestion ….put the actual conservatory key on its own, and hang the other keys on a hook to the left of the sliding doors. The driveway was a challenge, no doubt the type of car, size etc. relevant to this. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, not least the peace and quiet, with incredible views. Much thought put into this accommodation. Many thanks. Joy and Kathleen

    Great location. At the top of a steep hill, but that's it. Literally 5 mins walk into the main part of swanage and beach. Parking for 2 cars is good, having to reverse down the drive not so good, but we didn't use the car all week as so much to do in swanage itself. Property was very spacious, the owners had thought of everything. All very clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend, and definitely stay agian. Best place we've stayed in swanage.

    Thank you very much for your kind feedback and recommendation. I am so glad you had a wonderful holiday at Seaview and in Swanage. I apologise if my personal choice of reversing into Seaview has led to any confusion. To help other guests, space is available to turn a car around in the parking area outside our garage, so it is not absolutely necessary to reverse down the drive. I look forward to welcoming you back to Seaview. Property Owner

Your home away from home

Overlooking the coastal splendour of the sea and cliffs, situated in a desirable area from which to discover Swanage and the surrounding Jurassic Coast, Seaview is the perfect location for families to explore the Isle of Purbeck with its beautiful beaches and surrounding countryside.

The bungalow is all on one floor with off-road parking and is well-suited to a variety of group needs, with a short walk to the beach and town centre being an added delight.

You enter via the large welcoming utility room, where there is plenty of space to store all your holiday beach paraphernalia, children’s buggies, coats and shoes after a relaxing day at the beach, or a day of exploring.

Here, you will also find the washing machine.

From the utility room you enter the modern well equipped kitchen, with its sleek units housing all you could need during your stay.

Following on from the kitchen, the large dining room has wonderful views overlooking the sea and cliffs where you can enjoy cosy home cooked meals, or a wonderful fish and chip supper bought at one of the local Fish & Chip shops.

Moving through to the inviting sitting room, guests will find a plush seating arrangement to sink into, where they can watch T.V, or spend a quiet moment to themselves.

Leading off the sitting room is the bright and airy conservatory; a suntrap in the summer where you can enjoy a good book or a snooze.

Outside is a large patio area where you can sit out and make the most of the sunshine.

At the front of the bungalow is a large lawn to play games on, and a raised balcony with sea views for your evening drink.

When your fun-filled day draws to an end, seek out the three well-presented bedrooms to rest your head.

Take your pick from the family room with both a king-size double and a single bed, a master bedroom with double bed and a sea view, or a twin room with two single beds and a sea view, each with its own stylish interior and ample storage space.

Begin your day in either the bathroom with bath and separate large rain shower, or the equally convenient shower room with walk-in rain shower, offering plenty of space for guests to get ready for a day of relaxing on the beach, or exploring further afield.

The bungalow benefits from being just a short stroll away from the town's centre, where you will find a mixture of shops and choice of supermarkets, and small independent eclectic shops, selling local produce and goods.

Find a souvenir to remind you of your holiday, or search out unusual individual gifts for family and friends.

You will also find many fine restaurants, coffee shops and pubs where you can enjoy a tasty snack or a more substantial meal.

Visit Swanage Museum to learn more about the history, geology and geography of the area, or The Mowlem Theatre where you can watch a variety of wonderful shows, and films.

Take a stroll along the beautiful Victorian pier, or along the sea front with beautiful gardens and the soft, sandy Blue Flag awarded beach.

Visit the children’s play park overlooking the beach or the Santa-Fe Fun Park if you're travelling with little ones, home to a range of fun-filled activities such as mini golf, arcades, rides and more, while the Townsend Nature Reserve is the perfect way to spend a more relaxed day or a scenic walk.

Take an unforgettable trip on the steam train from Swanage railway station to the old historical village of Corfe Castle with its ruined castle fortification built by William the Conqueror (National Trust).

Take a walk to the Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve for even more splendour, with 33 species of breeding butterfly, over 250 species of bird recorded and 500 wildflowers to discover alongside plenty of history and educational experiences too.

If you love walking take a stroll to the Lighthouse, Dancing Ledge or Old Harry Rocks with their wonderful views over the sea.

Further afield you can drive to Lulworth Cove or Durdle Door for more spectacular walks and views.

Take a drive over to Studland for the day to find another beautiful sandy beach, as well as a ferry journey crossing the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks.

From there you can take a short boat trip to the tranquil Brownsea Island (National Trust).

Further afield is the Saxon walled market town of Wareham where you can enjoy a stroll along the river; or Dorchester, with its various museums including the Dinosaur Museum, Dorset County Museum, The Keep Military Museum and more.

It makes the perfect day trip for a historic day out, with even more eateries to choose from too.

Whatever you decide to do, Swanage is a beautiful base from which to explore the coast of Dorset, and Seaview makes a spectacular choice all-year-round.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

SWANAGE

Wareham 9.7 miles; Poole 20 miles.

The small, family-friendly seaside resort of Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck and is probably best known for its wonderful, gently shelving golden sands. The little town offers visitors plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and is also well known for its annual jazz festival, which takes place each July. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers, it’s a wonderful place to watch the world pass by. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a picturesque 6-mile journey, chugging through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. Nearby Durlston Country Park offers a lovely day out with spectacular coastal walks, dolphin spotting and wildlife watching, together with comfortable viewing points and a well-stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air. Take the short drive to Studland, which has one of the finest beaches in the country, surrounded by heathland, together with the regular chain ferry, which crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks. This truly is a delightful holiday destination at any time of the year.
