    Swanage Holiday Cottages

    A coastal town in Dorset, Swanage is popular with friends, families and couples in search of a fun yet relaxed holiday. Close by, you'll find that Purbeck, and Poole and Dorchester are within six and 25 miles away meaning the seaside town of Swanage makes for a great base. In the town itself, there's plenty to see and do, including the Swanage Pier, Swanage Bay and the nearby Durlston Country Park and Lulworth Cove.

    In terms of Swanage holiday cottages, there's something for everyone too. Think cottages in Swanage with hot tubs and sea views, holiday properties with direct access to the sandy beach and open plan living on the ground floor, and pet-friendly pads close to the dog-friendly walking routes by the Jurassic coast. That's not all either as we also have cottages with swimming pools, enclosed gardens, all the mod-cons and private games rooms for the perfect family holiday.

    At Snaptrip, you can choose from thousands of properties - from the Isle of Wight to those in Scotland.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Mrs Keeling - Verified booking

      We had a delightful stay at Court Farmhouse. The weather was good but it would be a great house even if the weather hadn’t have been. It was clean and very well kitted out with kitchen equipment, storage and toys/games/videos. There is plenty of space for 3 generations with children to play and move about. We loved the dining room/ kitchen link. The conservatory and utility is ideal for coat/boots and inevitable clutter. The two reception rooms are great to allow several activities at once. All the bedrooms are light and spacious. The stairs are very steep but there are stair gates top and bottom. Do remember it is a 10 minute walk to the seafront and small toddlers will find it a step. We took scooters and our 5 and 8 year old were whizzing along. There is space for a smallish car on site and also plenty of space in the street opposite. The shop over the road is handy and the co-op is on the way to the front. The garden is ok for sitting in and there is a fantastic playground not far away over the steam railway bridge. The beach is good for sandcastles and the sea is clear and only gently shelving. We loved Swanage and there is plenty for all ages in and around the town. Court Farmhouse is definitely a good base to stay in.

    • Philip - Verified booking

      This "cottage" was more like a house.

      To access it, it was necessary for us to drive carefully up and down the steep hill, and, steer carefully in and out of the narrow parking bays which we found to be stressful, yet bays were always available for us. The cottage was modern, spacious, well-furnished, and, clean. Excellent modern full-length wardrobes, very comfortable beds, and, an extremely quiet area at night. However, the bedroom blinds do not block out the light so this aspect was disappointing to our sleep. Wonderful views of the hills from the master bedroom. On occasion, we dined in the patio back garden along with usual noises from a residential estate. The kitchen spotlights flicker erratically, however this is a minor point. We enjoyed visits to Swanage, the Steam Railway was fab as was Corfe Castle, Studland Bay, and Durlston Castle. The Pier Head restaurant in Swanage served us superb seafood dishes.

    • Mrs Amphlett - Verified booking

      Compact little cottage on the outskirts of Swanage. More than adequate for a short break although possibly more suited to a couple than for three. Good bed , nice linen and towels and a modern bathroom. We didn’t cook at all but appeared to be everything you would need to do so. There are some lovely local cafes and restaurants so we enjoyed trying them out ! Not the easiest of places to pull up to unload on arrival but after that we managed to park each day just a little way down the road where there are parking spaces off the road. Access to the little garden is up a few steep steps so be mindful if you intend to use the garden or need to let a dog out. We did have a nice time - but be aware it’s too far to walk to the beach really and we had to use our car which adds to the parking fees.

    • Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

      Court Farmhouse has oodles of character and is a perfect set up for extended families. We booked it for a week at Christmas and it surpassed all our expectations! The log fire and spacious lounge was perfect for cosy nights watching films but we also used the second lounge for chilling, reading & pilates. The open plan kitchen/dining room was perfect for our Christmas Day lunch - the double oven, 6 ring hob and cupboards stuffed full of white crockery meant that everything was on hand to produce a 5 star gourmet meal! The location is perfect, a quaint convenience shop opposite and a short 5 min stroll to the beach, restaurants, independent gift shops and Supermarket. Court Farmhouse is a great choice and has it all !

    • Mrs Hylton De-Vall - Verified booking

      The cottage is lovely. So comfortable and with a wonderful outside decking area and garden. We had glorious sunny weather, and the bifold doors whilst relaxing later in the evening were well used. It was helpful to know from the website info about steep stairs in the cottage, so you know before you decide to book. However, the owner has bannisters on both side of the stairs so they were not an issue. Swanage and its beach are lovely and a doable walk from the cottage if you don't want to drive. There are buses too with stops just yards away from the cottage. Plenty of shops and pubs around and, of course, the wonderful Swanage station and the steam trains taking you on a short ride to Corfe and further.
