Compass Cottage

Nestled right in the heart of Swanage, Compass Cottage is a stylish and thoughtfully designed retreat, perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking for a coastal escape. Recently renovated with a Soho House-inspired interior, this unique cottage combines character and comfort in an unbeatable location.

Swanage is a charming seaside town with a vibrant mix of coastal beauty, history, and a relaxed atmosphere. From Compass Cottage, you’re just a short stroll away from the golden sandy beach, independent shops, cafés, and the iconic Swanage Pier.

Step inside to find a beautifully curated living space, where rich textures, carefully chosen design choices, and sophisticated furnishings create an inviting atmosphere. The lounge offers a comfortable spot to unwind, complete with a TV, Bluetooth speaker, and a dining table that seats up to eight—perfect for social evenings and shared meals.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need for a self-catered stay, including an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, washing machine, tumble drier, and dishwasher. Whether you're preparing breakfast before a day at the beach or enjoying a cosy night in, this space is both stylish and practical.

Upstairs, the two bedrooms continue the cottage’s boutique feel. The king bedroom is a serene retreat, featuring French doors that open onto a private decked terrace—ideal for morning coffee or an evening drink under the soft glow of outdoor lighting.

The twin bedroom is equally inviting, making this property a great choice for both families and friends. A modern first-floor bathroom with a shower completes the accommodation.

Compass Cottage also benefits from an allocated off-road parking space for one car (up to SUV size).

The cottage is so conveniently located in the heart of the town but please be aware that if you sit out on the balcony you can hear the sounds of town.

Swanage is a coastal town with a strong sense of character, known for its sandy beach, Victorian pier, and access to the Jurassic Coast. The town offers a mix of independent shops, cafés, and pubs, as well as plenty of opportunities for walking, swimming, and exploring the surrounding countryside.

Just beyond Swanage, the limestone cliffs of the Jurassic Coast provide some of Dorset’s best walking routes, including the trail to Old Harry Rocks. Durlston Country Park, a short distance away, is home to dramatic sea views and abundant wildlife. For a change of pace, the heritage steam railway runs through the Purbeck countryside to Corfe Castle, a historic village dominated by its striking medieval ruins.

Take a nostalgic trip on the Swanage Railway to Corfe Castle, explore the breathtaking Jurassic Coast, or enjoy a scenic coastal walk to Studland Bay.

With its central location, boutique interiors, and thoughtful touches, Compass Cottage is the perfect place to unwind in style while enjoying all that Swanage has to offer.
