The family bathroom is on this floor with a rain shower over the bath and heated towel rail. Up to the second floor you will find another large bedroom with a double and a single bed. On a clear day, there are views across Ballard down all the way to the Isle of Wight.

Outside is somewhere you will spend a lot of time, the evening sun giving you a beautiful place to sit and relax after a day exploring. There is a museum in Swanage with information on the history of the town including the Jurassic Coast, dinosaurs and the second world war; there is certainly something for all the family to be interested in. Swanage has a train station with a steam train which can take you to Corfe Castle, a beautiful town with the ruins of a 1000-year-old castle which is a National Trust site.

If you want to connect with the outdoors you can walk along the sandy beaches in Swanage or the National Trust Nature Reserve at Studlands or along the southwest coastal path on the Jurassic Coast. Perhaps a day trip to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door for spectacular scenery or visit Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve where you can also visit Durlston Castle an extraordinary Victorian building with ever changing exhibitions inside. For the thrill seekers you can book trips to go out on the water including sea fishing, diving or coasteering.

Bikes can be stored in the courtyard or the summer house. Hikers are spoilt for choice, Ballard and the Purbeck Hills offer some of the best walks in the country.

    The Old stone house was cosy & comfortable, there was plenty of space for 4 adults & 2 dogs in most of the rooms (except for in the kitchen which was only really big enough for one person at a time to be in) There was almost too much equipment & too many ornaments which meant we had to move things around to make room for food etc & the fridge didn’t seem to keep things very cold. Apart from those little niggles we really enjoyed our stay & would definitely come back again.

    A comfortable house in an excellent location, well-furnished for all weathers. A historic and attractive building a short walk from Swanage town centre. Excellent for families.
