Absorb the views out across Swanage Bay from this inviting Dorset holiday lodge. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom, single-storey retreat sits in an elevated position within a holiday park overlooking the colourful seaside town. From here, you can enjoy a 1-mile walk down to Swanage's award-winning, sandy beach or find yourselves close to shops and eateries within 0.5 miles. Durlston Country Park, known for its scenic landscapes, is a 1.5-mile stroll and here you can also pick up the South West Coast Path.

Climb three steps up to the wooden deck of this inviting hideaway and let yourselves in to find airy, modern accommodation. Leave your beach sandals or walking boots in the hall and head on through into the main lounge/kitchen/diner. Lose yourself for hours simply gazing out of the windows towards the open sea and the magnificent Purbeck Hills. Unpack any fresh Dorset produce you have bought in town and whip up tasty homecooked meals in the kitchen area. Settle in front of the Smart TV on cooler evenings to enjoy fun movie nights in together. On warmer days, keep the doors open to bring in a sea breeze. At the end of each fabulous day away, head through to either the double bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room, or the twin bedroom to enjoy a superb night's sleep. There is also a lovely family bathroom. Soak up the sunshine out on the deck during the summer months, it's a wonderful place to dine against a beautiful coastal backdrop.

Explore the delights of Swanage, including stunning Peveril Point, Durlston Country Park and the fantastic sandy beach itself, perfect for traditional days by the sea. Catch a heritage steam train out to Corfe Castle from Swanage, where you can take in the scenic countryside and explore the dramatic castle ruins. Venture 4 miles to magnificent Studland Bay, with its gorgeous, long, sandy beach and picturesque rolling dunes - this National Trust-owned stretch is favoured by both swimmers and walkers.
