Thought to have been constructed during the 17th century. The Grade 2 listed 4 bedroom cottage comes with a secluded garden that encompasses the entire house. Help yourself to fresh apples and Figs from our trees when they blossom in summer. The cottage has many attractive quality features. Inside is a modern affair with nicely furnished bedrooms, soft and comfortable beds to sink into at night, enjoy views to the serene garden with partial sea views from each room. Only 5-10 mins walk to Swanage Town centre! there will be a welcome guide folder when you arrive at the property which will have information on the cottage like wifi code, parking etc.
Hi my name is Stephen. I have been a host on this platform for a few years now. I love traveling when I can and discovering new places that I have not been to before. Also enjoy seeing my friends over the weekend to meet for dinner, museum, Antique-hunting or a movie (or ALL). I do prefer my Disney movies, they are just so fun.
