    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. Our best-price guarantee means you won't get a better deal and our friendly customer service team means you also get access to insider knowledge of the local area.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Tracy - Verified booking

      Swanage was lovely but unfortunately Poppy cottage did not meet our needs at all.

      I stayed in the double bed which was extremely comfortable, however my mother stayed in the twin bedroom & had to remove the duvet from one bed so she could lie on it as the mattress was so uncomfortable, the springs were jutting out so much, they are obviously old and need replacing. I am almost certain that the description did not state a downstairs bathroom (though looks to have been updated since) & there was absolutely no indication of the fridge being in a cupboard under the stairs, I definitely would not have booked. The configuration is all wrong & the term "swing a cat" comes to mind. I actually think we ought to be reimberesd the service charge as I actually removed cobwebs from the windows, wiped down the limited work surface & washed cutlery/crockery before use. It is fortunate that neither of us needed the cooker as there was a 'fat' filled baking tray inside the oven. Also, as the front door doesn't appear to be used often, dirt/dust is building up, & the furniture needs moving regularly to dust underneath. I will not be recommending dream cottages if this is the standard that you find acceptable.

      Very very disappointed .

      . After being a Sykes customer for many many years over 20 this will be the last time I will be !!!!! Poppy cottage let us down badly Tuesday evening 8pm we were left in the dark for 4 hours using just the torch on our phones .. Wednesday morning No Hot Water unable to get a shower and stuck in until 1pm missing our booked day trip …Thursday morning awoke to find the electric had gone off AGAIN We then decided to make our way home a day early We have made contact with Sykes everyday since to request some form of compensation for our spoiled holiday Totally dissatisfied with the service and the response of a measly £50.00 offered and told by Sykes that they are just the agents and no refund can be offered by them just the property owner whom we are not allowed.the details of to speak directly to ?????.. What a disgrace I feel totally let down £750 paid for a holiday that was stressful and cut short We are two ladies that have never needed to complain before and are only asking to be treated fairly £50.00 is an insult

    • Bethan - Verified booking

      We often stay in historic cottages and feedback did say it was small so we weren't expecting a palace but it is REALLY TINY in the kitchen and bathroom.

      Impossible to shower without flooding bathroom (combination of tiny cubicle, shower curtain and holder/head that won't turn away from the curtain!) Well provided with anything you'd need in kitchen but again so small couldn't really do more than breakfast in there. Bed was really comfy but only a double due to size of space (not issue for many but my 6ft3 partner found it a bit tight!) Only window that opens downstairs is tiny bathroom window so very warm once the sun came out. The image of front door/garden is lovely but can't really use it - there is chair in front of the door and if you do manage to get it open the garden isn't fenced or private in anyway but shared with several other cottages so hopeless if you have a dog (there is a paved back garden but not as pretty!) Not the owners fault, but strong smell of marijuana throughout the downstairs - assuming from neighbours....

    • Mrs Boud - Verified booking

      Herbert's Place was a lovely property. The decor was very smart, clean and 'seasidey.' The kitchen was well equipped. There was even a steamer which is very rare in holiday lets. Good washing line for drying swimming stuff! Comfortable beds and peaceful location close to the town centre and sea. Great little courtyard with a shelter awning over the table and chairs if needed. All the crockery and cooking utensils seemed new, and in very good condition, as were the furnishings. Quality Bosch cooker and hob, and very new dishwasher too. The parking space is a real bonus in Swanage. But you don't need a car once you're there. Short walk into town, paths to Durlston, and along the coast. And from the town there's the steam train to Corfe Castle. We'd recommend the Breezer buses too. Wrap up warm though on the top deck if you are coming back later!

    • Mr Lyden - Verified booking

      A lovely cottage, located right in the middle of Swanage, with easy access to local restaurants and shops. The cottage was well equipped throughout, had excellent Wi-Fi, and the smart TV was a welcome bonus. We somehow managed to stay here during the hottest week of the year, in September! The cottage remained cool throughout, and was a pleasure to come back to! The only things we would highlight, the off street parking is a bit tight, which wasn't a major problem for us, but might be a squeeze for a larger, wider car. Also, the cottage is located up a steep hill from the town, which again, wasn't a problem for us, but might cause difficulties for people who are less able.
