    Location within Swanage and within the overall site was excellent. The attention to detail in terms of supplies and groceries was a lovely touch which made us feel very comfortable and looked after. It was very clean, and comprehensive guide...

Property information

Butterfly Lodge is situated on the Jurassic Coast, accommodating six guests across three bedrooms. A deck with balcony area features amazing 180° views across Swanage Bay, and has modern rattan style armchairs — ideal for drinks in the sun. A spacious, light, and inviting open-plan kitchen living dining space awaits inside, with a lovely fitted kitchen, an oak dining table & chairs set, and a comfy lounge area with L-shaped sofa and TV. The first two bedrooms along the hallway are twin single rooms, complete with two comfortable single beds in each, a bedside cabinet, a soft carpet, and a good-sized wardrobe for storage. The master bedroom, at the very rear of the property, features a double bed with neat bedside storage cabinets, soft carpets, and a large window. There's a walk-in wardrobe space featuring shelving, hanging space, and a vanity unit & chair. Also in the master room is an ensuite shower room with toilet, shower cubicle, basin, storage unit, and a heated towel rail. A beautiful family bathroom in the main hallway completes all the rooms, with full bath unit, storage cabinets, toilet, basin, and heated towel rail. Included in your stay are bed linens, towels, a tea towel, and some basic washing up materials. There’s also a travel cot and highchair for an infant. The property has free Wi-Fi, gas central heating, double-glazed windows, and secure gated decking. Parking is available for 2 cars. For people with limited mobility, Butterfly lodge is mostly on one level, bar the steps up to the decking. Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Sorry, this is a non-smoking and vaping property. Swanage Coastal Park has a reception and small shop for basic groceries, a laundrette, and a children’s play area. No passes are needed for Swanage Coastal Park, as there are no leisure or entertainment facilities. The lodge is about 1 mile from central Swanage, taking about 20 minutes to walk to, or just 5 mins by car.

Neighbourhood information

The quintessentially British seaside town of Swanage is a delight, with its sandy beach being one of Dorset County’s biggest attractions. The beach is a popular destination for generations of families returning every year, and for good reason. There's clean Blue Flag awarded waters, a Victorian promenade, amazing facilities for hire (including deck chairs, pedaloes, kayaks, sun beds, and even beach huts) in addition to practical amenities such as lifeguard patrols, showers and toilets — making this beach almost unbeatable. Swanage Town is full of local charm and attractive architecture, and makes a wonderful base to explore Dorset’s other natural wonders and places of interest too. There’s a host of high street gift shops, clothing stores, grocery shops, cafés, ice cream parlours, and fish & chip takeaways — all of which are in addition to an array of pubs, bars and restaurants. There’s always lots to do in the water, with paddleboarding, diving excursions, sailing, water-skiing, and windsurfing to name a few. Whilst on the promenade you can find amusements, arcades, mini golf and other fun activities for little ones. Dorset is blessed with some of the UK’s most interesting coastal areas, including glorious sandy bays such as Swanage and Studland; and many rugged, wild and rocky shores too. To the south of Swanage is Durlston Country Park, a nature reserve renowned for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and World Heritage Coastline which runs west — including the famous Kimmeridge, Ludworth Cove, Man O’War and Durdle Door beaches, as well as the South West Coastal Path walking trail, and numerous climbing spots.
