Our places in Swanage

Most places in Swanage are two-bedroom homes for four or five people, with a few one-bedroom places for couples and one very large house for groups of up to 15. Prices vary widely. Some four and five person places with a pool and a sea view are cheaper per night than a small sea view place for two. The group house is the dearest by a long way, but it costs much less per head. Check the sleeping arrangements as well as the headline capacity before you book.

Swanage sits on the Dorset coast, and most of the lodges and cabins here are built around the sea rather than a hot tub. About a third have a sea view, and a similar share have a log burner. Swimming pools turn up in about one place in five, which is unusual for a seaside town of this size.

A night here usually costs more than the cheapest listings suggest, because a few large or well placed places pull the typical price up. Most places sleep four or five, so couples and small families are well served. Groups can go much bigger, with the largest place taking 15 guests. Guests rate the stays highly, at 9.1 out of 10. About a third of places accept pets, so dog owners have a fair choice, though far fewer places have a hot tub. Winter weeks cost a good deal more than weeks in other seasons, which is worth knowing before you pick dates.

Features

A garden is the most common feature, found at more than half of the places. Log burners and high chairs each appear at about a third, and sea views at just under a third. Places with a log burner, a pool or a sea view are usually cheaper than those with a garden, a high chair or fishing. That is because the dearer features tend to come with larger houses. Hot tubs are rare, at about one place in ten, so book early if one matters to you. A BBQ is listed at roughly one place in six.

By number of guests

Places for two are the dearest per person. Those sleeping three or four usually cost less per night than a place for two, and the cost per head drops sharply. Places for five or six are cheaper again, both per night and per person, and they usually have two bedrooms. If you are a couple and want to spend less, a two-bedroom place sleeping four can cost less than a small place for two. It also gives you more room, so it is worth comparing before you settle on size.

Prices month by month

November is the cheapest month shown, and prices climb through December and January. February is the dearest of the six months. Prices then fall back in March and April, with April close to November levels. Availability tells a similar story. February and January have the fewest free nights, while April has the most. If you want a winter break at a fair price, early November or the spring months leave you more choice and a lower bill.
