Olive Cottage

Just moments from the seafront and Swanage’s lively town centre, Olive Cottage is a stylish seaside retreat that combines coastal charm with modern comfort. Perfect for couples, small families or friends, this two-bedroom home offers everything you need for a relaxing Dorset escape — from beach walks and lazy brunches in town to cosy evenings by the fire.

Step inside and you’ll find a bright, welcoming living space that feels instantly inviting. The lounge, complete with a woodburner, TV and WiFi, is the perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring the beach or nearby Purbeck hills. The adjoining kitchen and dining area are well-equipped for easy self-catering, featuring an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washer/drier and dishwasher, along with a dining table set for relaxed meals and catch-ups over wine.

Upstairs, the king bedroom and twin room are calm, comfortable spaces designed with rest in mind. A modern shower bathroom and a convenient separate WC serve the bedrooms, and thoughtful touches throughout make this home both practical and welcoming.

To the rear, a handy yard offers secure storage for bikes, kayaks and wetsuits — ideal for those who love to get out on the water or explore the coast on two wheels. Parking is available on the road nearby, and the cottage is kept warm year-round with electric underfloor and central heating. A travel cot and high chair are provided for families, and all linen and towels are included in weekly and short-break bookings. Please note, Olive Cottage is pet-free, ensuring a peaceful, allergy-friendly environment for every guest.

Situated near the heart of Swanage, Olive Cottage places you just a short stroll from both the town’s amenities and its stunning Blue Flag sandy beach. Wander down to the promenade for morning swims, paddleboarding, or simply to take in the sea air with a coffee in hand. The town is brimming with independent shops, galleries and cafés, while the historic Swanage Pier and restored Victorian Railway to Corfe Castle add to its timeless charm.

From the cottage, the dramatic beauty of the Jurassic Coast is right on your doorstep. Explore the coastal paths that lead to Durlston Country Park, where you can spot dolphins and seabirds, or head towards Studland Bay and Old Harry Rocks for breathtaking views across the Purbeck coastline.

Swanage also makes a wonderful base for exploring wider Dorset. The picturesque ruins of Corfe Castle, the market town of Wareham, and the bustling harbours of Poole and Weymouth are all within easy reach. After a day of adventure, return to Olive Cottage to light the woodburner, pour a drink, and sink into the easy rhythm of coastal life.
