Would you like to experience your very own 'Escape To The Country'? Check out Ferndale Cottage Devon, our gorgeous country cottage opposite the village pub, a short drive from the Jurassic beaches of Lyme Regis, Beer and Sidmouth.

The cottage sleeps 4 in double and twin rooms. There's a huge garden with its own bridge over a stream, and a woodburner for cosy winter evenings. Dogs love Ferndale Cottage Devon as they are allowed everywhere inside, there are glorious walks straight from the door, and the decking and patio are enclosed to keep them safe.

It’s such a peaceful setting - all you’ll hear is the ti**le of the stream, the chimes of the church bells and the singing of the birds. We guarantee you’ll feel relaxed and calm here!

The dog-friendly traditional village pub, Kings Arms Inn Stockland opposite Ferndale, serves delicious meals and has local ales to enjoy before strolling the few steps home. They also offer full English breakfasts and cream teas on Saturdays and takeaways through the week so you don’t have to cook - you are on holiday after all!

Prices start from £110 per night (and it's cheaper to book direct with us). See the comments for the link to book.

Do you love holidays in Swanage too? It’s a special place and well-loved by so many. We never imagined our little holiday page would get to 600 followers! 🎉

We’re Ali and John and we started this page to tell you about our holiday let apartment Swanage Home from Home, which is ideal to rent for your family holiday, or to meet up with friends. We speak from experience when we say what a comfortable place it is to stay in because we rented the apartment for holidays ourselves before being fortunate enough to buy it.

The location is perfect as it’s so quick to get to the beach and shops - just a 2 or 3 minute stroll. We love the private balcony, which is a glorious place to relax in the afternoon sun. And having parking in Swanage is a real bonus.

We’ve been holidaying in Swanage with our boys for 20 years. John’s been coming much longer, camping in Priests’ Way campsite with his mates, and he remembers the legendary New Year’s Eves in Swanage, with everyone in fancy dress on a packed High Street. Over time, the group of mates has grown to include girlfriends, wives and then families, who all have a brilliant time reconnecting in Swanage every Carnival Week.

Holidays in Swanage are an important part of family life for our boys. Catching the steam train from Swanage Railway to Corfe Castle was a real adventure for them, straight out of the Famous Five books they loved for bedtime stories. Even when they were little, they loved our walk over Ballard Down to The Bankes Arms, which has become a favourite Swanage tradition for us. There’s so much to do here that we come as often as we can, and our guests must agree because they keep returning, year after year.

Every like, comment and share is appreciated, and helps our page be seen, so thank you so much for supporting us🥰

The Mill Pond: one of Swanage’s prettiest places to discover.

Take a wander just a few minutes’ walk up the High Street from Swanage Home from Home. At the memorial cross, turn right down Church Hill. Here you’ll find the beautiful St Mary’s Church, which gives the balcony at Swanage Home from Home its lovely view.

Turn left and you’ll be enchanted with the tranquil scene of the gorgeous Mill Pond. The water mill was built from Purbeck stone in 1754. The Mill Pond is quaint and quiet and not to be missed.

Truly one of Swanage’s secret treasures!

Old pier - new pier - and Old Harry Rocks. We love this view!

Swanage Old Pier is the site of the town's original 750-foot wooden pier built between 1859 and 1861. Today, the structure is just a cluster of decaying timber piles remaining visible - but still an iconic part of Swanage.

The Grand Hotel Swanage was the perfect place to stop for a cold drink away from the crowds and heat of the beach on our morning walk. The Grand is open to non-residents, and the staff are very welcoming. You can even order a drink from the garden, using the QR code on your table. The garden is peaceful and pretty, with fantastic views of Swanage bay. It’s just up the steps from The Cabin beach cafe on North Beach. The Grand is beautiful inside, and the restaurant has a wonderful vista. Being Enid Blyton fans, we love that she was a regular guest at The Grand!
