"The property is in a lovely spot in Swanage with amazing views."
We had a very comfortable stay with extended family in this lovely, spacious bungalow.
-
"Great property being well equipped, having large rooms with good views."
Position is ideal for the centre of Swanage. The conservatory was an added bonus especially in inclement weather. The welcome basket was a nice addition.
-
"Lovely spacious bungalow, very accurately described on the website."
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 stayed here for the second year in a row, and both times we have had brilliant holidays."
The property is very spacious and is located just a two minute walk from the centre of Swanage. Lots to see and do in the location.
-
"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.

"We are repeat bookers who find the space and layout of Seaview perfect for our extended family."
-
"Well kept property, clean and as described."
No complaints at all. Host contacted us prior to stay, friendly and professional. Family holiday with everything we needed for a perfect self catering stay.
-
"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!
-
"Great place to stay."
Very comfortable with two spacious bathrooms with good showers. Easy walk into Swanage with good cafes. Recommend the Italian bakery.
-
"Lovely comfortable, cosy and clean property."
Not wanting for any type of utensil. Would take months to read all books on offer and watch DVD’s. Games in abundance, Welcome pack much appreciated. Cannot fault in any way. Sue, Cliff & Andrea
-
"Very well located property with excellent facilities."
Short walk to town and beach. The property was much bigger than we had anticipated and we were very comfortable. Very helpful and attentive owner who called us to give us the key safe number and was on hand throughout our stay, for any queries that we may have had. We would certainly recommend to others.
-
"Great, very nice comfortable Bungalow, stay was just what we needed"
-
"The accommodation was 5 * in every way, very spacious and well equipped with quality extras."
The owner has gone that extra mile to ensure that holiday clients have an enjoyable stay. Home from home.
-
"A very spacious and comfortable property, and really helpful instructions."
A perfect location, just two minutes walk from the town centre.
-
"This property was of a very high standard well maintained in near perfect condition."
It was equipped with nothing required for a trouble free holiday. Comfort was a apt description. Comment:- The location gave us perfect view of Swanage Bay but I would suggest that possible clients should be in informed that the location is not suitable for elderly people due to the steep location into the town,going down no problem but returning HARD WORK.
-
"Windows need cleaning ,as it has beautiful views"
-
"Lovely bungalow."
Well equipped and comfortable. Would highly recommend.
-
"Fantastic property for family holiday."
The accommodation was very spacious and perfect layout for extended family group. The decor was modern, with high levels of cleanliness. Everything thought of to make arrival and stay perfect. The location was good and off-road parking was a brilliant addition to the holiday let. There is a steep hill back to the property from the seafront which can be difficult for elderly members of the family.
-
"Fabulous. Fridge too small for size of let."
-
"Perfect holiday home, close to the beach and town centre."
Will definitely visit in the future.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Seaview."
The bungalow was very well equipped and in an excellent location. Would definitely recommend this property
-
"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
-
"Excellent bungalow and facilities."
Very clean and tidy. Nice treats on arrival too.
-
"Fabulous cottage, immaculately presented."
Descriptions online accurate. Owner has labelled every control on every feature making living in the house hassle-free - rare to see such care to detail. Cottage was equipped with quality fixtures, comfy beds and seating, a superb range of kitchenwear, and - also rare - manageable appliances. We know Swanage well and to have such comfort, so close to the seafront, with onsite parking too, is very rare.
-
"Lovely place."
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

"This family owned property is superb for our three generations of 7 guests."
Plenty of space so not tripping up over each other. Outside space back and front with adequate seating and bonus double parking space. We plan to return.
-
"Large well equipped bungalow near to all the facilities of Swanage."
In a quiet area (partway up a steep hill) with views of the sea. Owner phoned to give me details of code for key safe, which was good. Beds were comfortable. Advert was accurate.
-
"A brilliantly located, spacious holiday home."
A very much enjoyed stay with our family. Beach, pubs, shops and restaurants a short walk away and days out to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Corfe Castle on the steam train. A lovely welcome basket on arrival and plentiful information pack given. Thank you!
-
"The property is spacious and clean with all the furniture and contents needed to make an enjoyable and comfortable stay."
The welcome pack was appreciated. The location for us was excellent. We could walk from the door along the coastline and returning on circular routes and over to Corfe Castle along Ballard Down and over to Worth Matravers. It was good to have the car parking space at the cottage and we had two cars.
-
"Excellent, spacious accommodation, very clean, modern and well appointed."
Very close to town centre, shopping, restaurants etc, beach and wonderful walks etc.. Car not used all weekend.
-
"A very spacious and clean bungalow, we would certainly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Swanage."
-
"We were totally delighted with Seaview bungalow."
It well exceeded our expectations and has clearly been carefully resourced and set up by the owner. Every comfort and convenience was available, in a squeaky-clean, stylish, cosy, spacious and enticing environment, which was greatly appreciated.
-
"We really enjoyed the stay in the cottage and intend to come back as its a lovely cottage and location."
Just a few recommendations not a criticism at all just things we thought may of been useful:- somewhere in the bathroom to put your clothes on and somewhere in shower to put your shower jel - shampoo bit earlier getting in time. bags for the refuse bin in kitchen
-
"I was surprised to see a nearly completed bungalow in the fenced-off part of the front garden instead of bushes but it didn't affect our stay."
The contact with the owner before the stay was very helpful.
-
"We had a most enjoyable holiday."
The bungalow was very spacious and had everything we needed. It was immaculate. Swanage is a lovely little seaside town. We were lucky enough to arrive in time for the Folk Festival which we enjoyed very much. It's a nice walk to Durlston Castle as well. We were very lucky with the weather.
-
"Inside facilities were excellent ( a sharp kitchen knife would have been so good) Outside was less attractive and did not take advantage of what little view there was ."
( Most was obscured by a new build that was proceeding in front of the bungalow)
-
"We had a wonderful time and the accommodation was fantastic however we had the mis fortune of getting a parking fine due to persons blocking the drive to the rear of the property what was even stranger was several cars all local parking in the same area and no tickets issued?"
So be aware! It spoilt what was the perfect break
-
"Seaview is a comfortable and well equipped holiday home with great views."
It is a short walk to all that Swanage has to offer. We had a great time here and will know doubt be back in the future.
-
"Felt the property would benefit from a parasol but otherwise cannot fault, a lovely house and would highly recommend."
Very clean and comfortable, in a nice position with lovely views. Certainly not for people who don't like hills. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Thank you.
-

The property
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.
About the location
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.
