Kick back and relax in the stunning hamlet of Acton, high above Swanage bay. With views across the open country and sea glimpses, enjoy walks along the adjacent Priests Way, and astonishing open countryside on your doorstep. A dog and child-safe walled garden help to make this a wonderful place to escape to, for walking, swimming, biking and relaxing. Nearby attractions include the Swanage steam railway and beaches, Corfe Castle, and the Dorset adventure Park- there is something for everyone! Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the corner of picture-postcard Acton Village, this stone built cottage dates from the 1870’s, built as a quarryman’s cottage for the nearby Purbeck Stone quarry. All of the roads in Acton Village are unmade tracks, making it ideal for evening strolls and a throwback to less complicated times. Bordering the South-West Coast Path and The Priests Way, the cottage and village enjoy outstanding views across Swanage Bay, the cliffs towards Chapmans Pool, and the countryside inland towards Corfe Castle. Recently renovated by the owners, the house features 3 delightful double-aspect bedrooms, a large cosy lounge with a wood-burner, a stunning dining room with French windows to the walled garden, and a sunny conservatory with a serving hatch to the bright and modern country kitchen. The kitchen and conservatory feature Purbeck Stone floors, with cosy underfloor heating. The bright kitchen has a large window looking out across the common and is modern country kitchen in style. It has a Nespresso coffee maker with complimentary coffee pods, and is well equipped with cookware and crockery, a toaster and microwave oven as well as a dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble drier. The conservatory is often used as a breakfast room since it enjoys the sun most of the day, and has a table to seat 4-6 as well as a seating area to simply sit and enjoy the sun and watch the kids playing in the garden. The panelled lounge has a music area, (bring your guitars!), and a bar with stools to sit and enjoy the music as well as evening views across the common. A wood burner makes this very cosy space to nestle down and relax. The elegant dining room has a table that extends to comfortably seat 6. It is dual aspect with views out to the fields and over the courtyard garden. A back hall with lots of room for coats and boots and a downstairs loo complete the downstairs accommodation. The main hall is double height, making the space feel light and airy, with a window looking out across the fields and cliffs to Chapmans pool (with a glimpse of the sea!). Upstairs, the double aspect main bedroom enjoys a king-size bed, and a gorgeous en suite bathroom. This has a lovely freestanding bath, with views across the fields whilst you soak, and and overhead shower as well as a heated towel rail. The twin room is another very bright double aspect room. Our family enjoy snuggling in the French antique twin beds and drifting off with views across the open countryside! The third bedroom has a comfortable double bed, large double aspect windows, looking out across the countryside towards Corfe, and has large built in cupboards with plenty of hanging space. The family bathroom has an electric shower and heated towel rail. Outside, the garden is completely enclosed, with walls all round and gated to the front, making this very safe play space for children and pets. It gets sun through all of the day, including the evening drinks and BBQ slot, with shade areas too for those that prefer a cooler place to sit. The garage is largely used as a store, but does have an electric car charging point available to guests if you lets us know to clear space for you in the garage! There is a barbecue for guests to use, and a pull out washing line for last minute essential laundry.
We had a lovely stay at West View House. Everything was just as described, the house was beautifully clean and well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches like phone chargers in the conservatory and next to the bed in the master bedroom. Ruth was very responsive and contacted us to check everything was ok after we arrived. We had a problem with the oven and it was replaced the next day! Lovely location, perfect for walks and only a 5 minute drive from shops and takeaways at Swanage.
Thank you Ruth and Vicky for a great stay. Really loved the house - it had everything we needed to just check out from the world for a bit. The lovely breakfast additions and cake were a great touch and really appreciated everything you have invested in for us to use.
We had a lovely stay at Ruths place in Dorset. The attention to detail in the house made it a very enjoyable stay. And the location was amazing with walks on your doorstep. Would definitely recommend, and would stay again if we come back to the area. Thanks Ruth!
Such a wonderful spot in Dorset. Ruth was super helpful when booking our trip and on arrival, delicious home made cake which was such a lovely surprise. An ideal location for exploring the coastline with beautiful walks on the doorstep and lovely places to visit such as Corfe Castle and Studland, just minutes drive away. Lovely cottage to return to in a lovely rural village/hamlet. Highly recommend.
We had a 3 night break with family (4 adults). The house is wonderful. Full of character but with a modern twist! We loved the decoration. The kitchen was very well equipped and we appreciated the supplies left for us to use. All the beds were comfy and the linen and soft furnishings were great quality. It felt like a real home from home and very cosy. We loved the area and the stunning view of Corfe Castle as you drive along Corfe road. Lots to do and see in the area. We barely scratched the surface so a return trip is a must. I cannot think of anything negative to say, everything was fab!
Swanage is a gorgeous seaside town, with beaches, fish and chips, a pier and amusements. The village of Acton sits on the cliffs above Swanage, a 5 minute drive away, and enjoys panoramic views of the sea and surrounding countryside. It is a haven for walkers, and has a lively music scene in the local pubs and the various Swanage festivals.
Parking is freely available on the track outside the house. There are regular buses down to Swanage town and the Steam railway runs from there to scenic Corfe Castle.
