Swanage 2.5 miles.
Nestling at the foot of Nine Barrow Down on Dorset’s picturesque Isle of Purbeck, and only a short drive from Swanage, is this outstanding, detached stone barn conversion.
Set on the owner’s working farm and skilfully converted to an exceptionally high standard, this spacious cottage makes an ideal holiday base for family or friends wishing to explore Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.
The front door opens into the large, light entrance hall with stairs leading up to an impressive mezzanine landing, which overlooks the superb fitted kitchen and spacious dining area.
The excellent sitting room boasts a warming woodburner, which together with the underfloor heating, helps to create a cosy, sociable space to unwind in after an adventurous day out. There are three spacious bedrooms, all offering different sleeping configurations to suit a wide range of needs, including a ground floor bedroom with adjacent wet room, which may suit less mobile visitors.
Outside is a front gravelled area, to catch the last of the sun's rays when you return home from a busy day. Vintage railway enthusiasts will be thrilled to discover that the restored Swanage Railway line is set to the front of this Dorset holiday cottage, with little steam engines puffing past each hour.
Why not hop on one from nearby Harman’s Cross, Swanage or Corfe Castle to enjoy a nostalgic trip? The Purbeck Hills offer some of the most scenic walks in Dorset, and there are marked footpaths direct from the doorstep.
No trip would be complete without a day at the Victorian seaside town of Swanage, with its beautiful bay and beach offering watersports, as well as a wealth of restaurants, shops and inns.
Alternatively, roam along the striking South West Coast Path to discover unforgettable sights.
There’s so much to see and do within a short distance of this Swanage cottage, that a week won’t be long enough!

Great place. We had some trouble getting the TV to work, so some idiot proof instructions would be useful. The selection of games and toys was a real bonus. We would book again but they now don't allow dogs. They provided two stair gates but the one left for the bottom of the stairs was broken( we did not need it so it was not a problem). Comfortable beds and good shower.

We loved our stay at The Old Barn. A lovely property with plenty of space and well equipped with everything you need. A great location for exploring the local area. We didn’t travel more than 20-30mins to get to any of the gorgeous bays. Our boys particularly enjoyed watching the deer roaming around and the steam trains visible from the cottage. We will definitely return!
