The delights of Swanage are many! We are at the end of the Purbeck Peninsula and at the start of the Jurassic Coast, England's first natural World Heritage Site.

It is a traditional seaside town with safe swimming from the blue flag beach and there is a Punch and Judy show during the summer. There is a good children's playground and rides opposite the beach. The Carnival Week at the end of July and the RNLI Week in August are very popular with locals and visitors alike - always lots going on!

The Beach Gardens have tennis, bowls and putting and there is a larger pitch and putt in the town. There are four indoor swimming pools in the area.

We have music festivals to suit most tastes - blues, jazz, folk - and there are regular concerts in St Mary's Church as well as a varied programme at the Mowlem Theatre.

Great location

Review Submitted: July 27, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Found this property to be very accurately described by the owner. The location was terrific - 3 or 4 minutes to the beautiful pedestrianised beach and some excellent take aways only 2 minutes off. A quiet street as it is not a through road and parking no problem. For my friend and I with 5 young children between us it couldn't have been better and we were not squashed in at all.

Would highly recommend this property.

It was one of my best holidays in my life.

Review Submitted: May 13, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2009
It was one of my best holidays in my life. We've seen some nice things. My favourite was Durdle Door and Kimmeridge. And of course the nice old pubs. Poppy age 13
It is a good house. I love the shop called Johns and the steam trains and the station and the pub round the corner with the pool table called the Pubeck Hotel. You should go there. James age 11

It was almost like walking into our own home.

Review Submitted: May 13, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2009
I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Pen-y-fan. It was almost like walking into our own home. There was the same bird book, tea-cosy and carving tray as we have. I had brought an extra large mug from home because I enjoy a big cup of tea first thing in the morning and there in the kitchen was an idential one.
We had meant to write in your book how much we enjoyed staying there and how peaceful we found it, but it got overlooked in the rush to pack our cases and load the car. We certainly recommend it to our family and friends.

What a great holiday!

Review Submitted: May 13, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2009
What a great holiday! Although the weather wasn't always perfect, it definitely made up for it on Thursday and Friday! Lovely house with a very cosy feel, very well equipped. Thanks for the apple cake! We educated the young by making them watch War of the Worlds and Dr No!

Beautiful place

Review Submitted: May 13, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2009
Beautiful place and cosy, well-equipped house. We have enjoyed our stay here in Swanage with lazy days on the beach, tennis in the afternoon, walks on the caost path, shopping in Bournemouth and great food and wine. Thanks for a great stay.
