Polly's Folly

About this property

Centrally positioned in the seaside town of Swanage, Dorset, is Polly's Folly, a fabulous four-bedroom property. Just a stone's throw away from the beach and a host of eateries, shops, and attractions, whilst offering flexible sleeping arrangements, and a bright and stylish open-plan living space, the cottage welcomes eight guests, perfect for larger families. Enter the living space, possible to use as your social hub, where you can prepare delicious meals with the help of state-of-the-art appliances, dine around the inviting table, and relax upon the plush corner sofa with the woodburning stove rustling in the backdrop; be wowed by a mix of stylish and rustic interiors. Head outdoors if you'd prefer an alfresco affair, offering an elevated position to dine and cheers to your getaway. As the night draws in, locate one of four well-presented bedrooms, including a king-size, a double, a twin, and a bunk room, suitable for all groups, along with a bathroom and a shower room for convenience. Come morning, prepare for an adventure-filled day out following the walking trails of the Purbeck Heritage Coast, touring Swanage Museum, or enjoying a true seaside affair at Swanage Pier Trust and beach. For fun for all the family, head to K’s Funworld Swanage, where there is something for everyone before travelling across the River Forme Path, leading towards Redcliffe Farm, or immerse yourself in the past at Corfe Castle where you can meander through the ruins of the impressive 12th-century castle, which also frequently hosts a variety of seasonal events. Poole is also dotted with attractions for all including Polar Bear Fishing Trips, Poole Museum and Poole Park, where you can enjoy a picnic in the sunshine or head to the local boating lake. Experience all of this and more at Polly's Folly.

Swanage is a small, family-friendly beach town on the renowned Isle of Purbeck, at the eastern extremity of Dorset's renowned Jurassic Coast. Swanage is arguably best known for its lovely, gently sloping golden sands. The small town is well renowned for its annual jazz festival, which is held in July, and for its abundance of stores, fine taverns, and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood. The charming Victorian wooden pier is a lovely spot to promenade, go fishing, or just sit and take in the sights. It's also a popular starting point for divers. Regular vintage steam engine excursions transport tourists on a charming 6-mile journey, chugging through gorgeous countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle, from the town's terminal on the historic Swanage Railway.
