While guests enjoyed thoughtful touches like dog treats and carrot cake, as these are personal gestures, they may not be guaranteed for every stay.
Located on the ground floor of an elegant period-style property, the lovely apartment is set a short walk from the sandy beaches of Swanage Bay, promenade, cafes and restaurants. Swanage is home to the Swanage Heritage Railway running from Swanage to Norden via Corfe Castle. Located on the Isle of Purbeck, Swanage is an ideal base from which to explore Dorset’s World Heritage Coast. Take to the water with a spot of sailing or simply sit and relax on the golden sands. When you’ve finished exploring Swanage, visit one of the many nearby points of interest, including the National Trust Corfe Castle (5.5 miles), Durlston Country Park (2.5 miles), and the coastal town of Poole (19.5 miles), which boast Europe's largest natural harbour and offers boat trips to Brownsea Island, home of Boy Scouts and red squirrels. Further west you will discover Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, 18 miles.
Enter via the private entrance directly into the porch which is perfect for those muddy boots and coats. The bright and spacious living room with dual-aspect windows offer space for the whole family to relax with comfortable sofas, a Smart TV, a wood burner-effect electric fire, and a desk for those important emails. The well-equipped kitchen boasts all that you will need to create a hearty breakfast or a delicious evening meal after a day exploring the beautiful area. A side door gives you access to a small rear courtyard. Enjoy a meal in the dining room just off the hallway, with a stunning period fireplace, with a door also leading directly out onto the rear courtyard. The main bedroom has a double bed with a large window overlooking the front, and bedroom two offers a twin room. A charming family bathroom completes the property.
The enclosed rear courtyard is small but perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or a cool afternoon drink of choice.

Had great stay in lovely Chabar
Mr Crumpton
Our dog is trained to only poo/wee on grass and there was none available in the cottage or outside until you walked a distance away. We stayed in an extremely hot period and there were no fan's available. The cottage was very clean and well equipped but the outside area was very basic and let the cottage down.
Mr Cleall
Excellent location, very spacious, well equipped and generous with consumables .
