Holiday rentals in Swanage

We had the most wonderful couple of days staying at Honey Bee relaxing in the peace and quiet. The views are outstanding, the Shepherds hut is beautifully made, with gorgeous interior and very well equipped. It is an ideal location with great local pubs in the surrounding villages also Bridport and West bay only 10 minutes down the road. We really wished we could have stayed longer, we can’t wait to return as soon as time allows!

We had a lovely stay in Ganders Cottage, with two young children. The cottage was spotlessly clean, pleasant to stay in and we put the patio to good use by having breakfast there every day. We even spotted a pheasant from the garden. The kids enjoyed the cottage and it was very family friendly. We only regret not taking the time to explore the farm and walk the area. The cottage was ideally situated to explore the Jurassic Coast, and we had many lovely outings to the nearby beaches. Charlotte and Robin were great hosts, attentive yet unintrusive, kind and thoughtful. They gave us good tips before and during the stay.

This place covers all the bases for a great stay for a big family get together! Excellent communications, nice welcome and then all the things to keep three families from ages 3-16 entertained. Private pool great, Games Room great, Hot Tub was spot on and actually hot (unlike so many that aren't)! Sauna probably needs some renovation love. Bedrooms great, enough space. Devonshire Arms nice food, Halfway House nice beer and vibes. All the ingredients for a place to kick back and have some much needed family time. Highly recommend!

We stayed as a family group of 6 adults and 3 kids over Easter. The location and view were beautiful as was the local area. We saw a woodpecker visiting the bird feeder several times which was a nice treat! Our trip was geared towards children’s activities and we had lots of choice of things to do in the local area within a 30-45 minute drive. The games room was a great bonus and provided hours of enjoyment for kids and adults alike. The house was very clean, tastefully decorated and well presented with a very well equipped kitchen. The downstairs living area was spacious and had ample seating so there was always somewhere to flop at the end of the day. Nicola was pro active and helpful and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Overall we had a lovely time at Great Coombe :-)

Beautiful house and location. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Beds were super comfy and clean. Cottage is well decorated. Perfect weekend break with the girls, would highly recommend.

We stayed for three and a half weeks after a water leak left our home uninhabitable. Unfortunately the property was not available for the whole time we required alternative accommodation but we are returning in a weeks time for a further two weeks. The property is well equipped and extremely comfortable even for our extended stay. Lovely quite rural setting but close enough to the local town not to feel isolated. Tanya and Chris are very friendly and helpful but not intrusive as can be the case with some hosts that live on site.

Perfect from start to finish - we had a afabulous weekend in this gorgeous property. I will be fully recommending this to family and friends. Thank you Victoria - absolutely brilliant!

We had a wonderful stay! My brother got married at the Temple of Apollo and the cottage was the perfect base for various members of my family over the weekend. We had everything we needed in the bedrooms and kitchen and felt right at home. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated and very well equipped, and of course, access to the beautiful Stourhead gardens is a fantastic bonus (even if wedding prep and clear up meant we didn't get to take full advantage :D!)
