A gorgeous character cottage in the heart of the Victorian seaside town of Swanage. Built in 1873 by the main founders of Swanage town, it even enjoyed time as a sweet shop back in the 1950s. The cottage has been thoughtfully modernised over the years without losing any of its period charm and quirky nature.
Dolphins is a lovely three bedroom cottage located in a quiet residential street just a short walk from the vibrant seaside town of Swanage. The cottage is the perfect retreat for a family looking to explore all that Swanage as to offer and is still full of character even after being thoughtfully modernised over the years.
Whilst the cottage is cosy, there is still plenty of space with two bathrooms, an open plan kitchen-living-dining area and an enclosed courtyard garden. The property also has it's own parking space.

Great space. Great location. Comfortable and well equipped.
Mrs Pearce
We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay at Dolphins. It is a nice spacious, airy cottage. Everything was clean and tidy. The cottage is well equipped and in an excellent location for both beach and transport. Car parking space if required, and a small patio garden, safe for children, behind gates.
Mrs Baxter
Absolutely wonderful stay at this cottage. The view from the main bedroom is very impressive. The cottage is very close to the town centre (but the last bit of the hill is a struggle with beach equipment). Having two bathrooms was a good bonus and a car park space was great (but a bit of a snug fit for a Ford focus). Well recommended.
