Nestled in the heart of Swanage, this home has easy access to this picturesque coastal town’s sandy beaches. Have a stroll along the iconic pier and take in the panoramic views of Swanage Bay. Or relax in the enclosed rear garden on the sofa – there’s a trampoline for the kids, too. Inside, it is light and bright thanks to the bay window, and there’s a log burner to snuggle up in front of when the Dorset weather turns chilly. As well as the main bedroom, there's a bunk bed and a twin room, making it an excellent option for families.

Rather confusingly, the Isle of Purbeck isn’t an island. Instead, it’s a peninsula of around sixty square miles that points out of Dorset into the English Channel and surrounded by water on three sides. It’s perhaps most famous for the stone that has been quarried from its section of the Jurassic Coast since Roman times, with Purbeck Marble used in the construction of many of the most famous cathedrals in...
