Room to relax – with seven bedrooms, three large reception rooms and plenty of space for 7-14 adult guests (up to 16 guests including children), The Mount has been used to celebrate special birthdays, hosted theatre groups rehearsing plays, and provided comfortable accommodation for guests of couples getting married at nearby Durlston Castle. Grandparents have enjoyed a week away with their children and grandchildren, with room to eat and play together and space enough to relax.
Built in the Arts & Crafts style in 1908, The Mount sits in a prominent position in Swanage in the stunning Isle of Purbeck. The town's sandy beaches, cafes, restaurants and pubs are a lovely walk downhill one way, while in the other direction the dramatic cliffs of the Jurassic Coast and the rare fauna and flora of Durlston await. The house itself is surrounded by a large garden hidden behind stone walls and bay hedges, and there's a music room and a full-size pool table inside.
The Mount is a country house set within a bustling resort, giving the best of both worlds.

    The house was absolutely amazing! We stayed here for our wedding with the bridal party. There was plenty of space for us all to get ready and everyone loved the house. The kitchen was well supplied and there was plenty of space in the music room and living room to relax. The kids enjoyed the garden and the toys. Elaine was very communicative about the check in and out process and even let us check out a bit late on the last day! I would definitely stay here again!

    We had a fabulous stay the house was amazing. The Kitchen was as well kitted out as my own. Beautiful views and such a lovely garden. The walk was a bit steep into town but not too bad. The pool table supplied endless fun.

    We booked this to celebrate a friend of ours. The house is perfect - from drinks in the garden, a game of traitors around the dining room table to dancing to the made up songs on the piano, it was wonderful. The house couldn’t be better located for the town and beaches, and our hosts couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend.

    Well equipped, plenty of space both inside and out . Need to be physically mobile due to hilly terrain ( not a problem for us). Family members aged 4 months to 87 years appreciated the music room , croquet set , train set and wheeley bugs as well as the pool table . General facilities good , but some of the property dated and could do with some TLC , but would however recommend for large groups

    We had a fantastic stay at the property over New Year. The house was clean, comfortable and lots to do. The host was extremely helpful and made the check in process easy, The location was great, only a 10 minute walk in Swanage, you do have to walk up a hill to get back to the house, which wasn’t an issue for us

    The Mount is a beautiful attractive house set in an ideal location, within walking distance of the sea at Swanage and lovely Durlston castle. All the rooms are clean and well equipped many with large on-suite bathrooms. The owners have maintained it to a high standard and equipped it with everything for a super stay. The garden is great and secure for doggies to romp around. The pool table and music room are real bonuses. The house is warm and cosy with excellent Central heating and log fire if desired . I highly recommend this house for a lovely stay.
