Wind Chimes

Ideally located within easy walking distance of Swanage's town centre, beach and seafront, this charming two-bedroom cottage is the perfect base for couples, families and four-legged friends looking to discover one of Dorset's most-loved coastal towns.

Start your day with a stroll through Swanage's charming streets, pick up a coffee from a local café and make your way to the beach, just a 15-minute walk from your doorstep. Spend your days swimming in the bay, exploring the Jurassic Coast or wandering along Swanage Pier before returning to Wind Chimes to fire up the log burner and unwind after a day by the sea.

Inside, the welcoming lounge is the perfect place to curl up after a day of coastal adventures, with comfortable seating and a wood-burning stove creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere throughout the seasons. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare everything from lazy breakfasts to family dinners, while the dining table provides a lovely spot to gather and plan the next day's adventures.

Upstairs, you'll find two beautifully presented bedrooms, including a comfortable double and a flexible twin room that can also be arranged as a double, making Wind Chimes an ideal choice for couples, families or friends escaping to the coast. A family bathroom with both a bath and shower is located on the first floor, with the added convenience of a ground-floor WC.

On warmer days, throw open the doors to the enclosed garden and enjoy your morning coffee in the sunshine, fire up the charcoal barbecue for an al fresco supper, or rinse off sandy feet – and muddy paws – using the outdoor hot and cold shower after a day at the beach. With parking for one small car, complimentary WiFi, a travel cot and highchair provided, and two dogs welcome free of charge, Wind Chimes has everything you need for memorable weekends away, midweek escapes and longer holidays by the sea.

From traditional seaside charm to breathtaking coastal scenery, Swanage is one of Dorset's most loved holiday destinations. Whether you're planning lazy beach days, scenic walks or family adventures, Wind Chimes is perfectly placed to experience it all.

Take a leisurely stroll into the town centre to discover independent shops, welcoming cafés, traditional pubs and seafood restaurants, or spend the day relaxing on Swanage's golden sandy beach. Wander along the historic Swanage Pier, enjoy an ice cream on the seafront, or try your hand at paddleboarding, kayaking or coasteering in the sheltered bay.

For walkers, the South West Coast Path is right on your doorstep, offering spectacular routes towards Durlston Country Park, Dancing Ledge and the iconic Old Harry Rocks.
