The cottage is located on a steep hill, so those with a young family or disabled visitors please be aware. However the upside side is the view from the property is amazing. You can see both coast and parkland. There is plenty to do in Swanage. The bay is beautiful. Would recommend a visit to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and finish your day at the Smugglers Inn, Osmington Mills.
