Swanage, Isle of Purbeck, Dorset
- Postcode: BH19 2PF |
 |
|
These two magnificent listed buildings offer
wonderful character accommodation just a
mile away from the lovely sandy beaches of
Swanage Bay. Newton Manor House dates back
to the early 1600s and is built from local
Purbeck stone. Lovingly restored by the
present owners, the house has retained much
original charm and features a profusion of
ornate oak panelling and wood carvings. The
principal rooms overlook the serene
landscaped gardens, while the first and
second floor rooms offer far-reaching views
across the small seaside town of Swanage, to
the sea and coast beyond. Newton Hall dates
back over a thousand years and is originally
believed to have been a Saxon barn.
Altered
during the 19th century to form a grand hall
to the attached manor house, it has a
beautiful walled garden with sunken fish
pond, accessed via an old coach house. An
ancient cupola adorns the vaulted ceiling of
the hall. For larger groups a `secret
passage' can be opened to connect the two
properties, and the main reception room of
Newton Hall can be transformed into a
stunning banquet-style dining hall for
special occasions.
The town of Swanage
nestles peacefully amidst the beautiful Isle
of Purbeck countryside, and is set betwixt
the Heads of Durlston and Studland, sloping
gently down to the water's edge. This small
pleasant resort has an array of restaurants,
interesting shops and a small theatre, not
to mention spectacular floral displays in
the parks and gardens. In season, pleasure
cruisers leave the pier daily, bound for
Poole, Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight.
The Lifeboat Centre at Pervil Point is open
to the public and fascinating to visit,
whilst Durlston Country Park provides
magnificent cliff walks and views of Anvil
Point Lighthouse. A trip aboard Swanage's
restored steam railway also makes for a fun
day out, winding its way through pretty
scenery to the ruins of Corfe Castle.
Fine
coastal walks extend round Studland Head, to
the coveted Blue Flag beach in the north,
whilst the South West Coastal Path leads to
Kimmeridge, Tyneham and West Lulworth in the
west, much of which is National Trust land
and rich in local flora and fauna.
Kimmeridge itself has a marine reserve and
is gateway to the gentle rolling Purbeck
Hills.
The larger seaside resorts of Poole
and Bournemouth are just a ferry ride away,
boasting a huge range of shops, theatres,
museums, cinemas, and restaurants. The
entire coast is excellent for trying out all
manner of watersports - windsurfing,
water-skiing, yachting and surfing to name
just a few. Fishing and tennis are available
a mile away in Swanage, and a local golf
course can be found nearby.
Note: Both properties (Newton Manor House
Ref
DMM and Newton Hall Ref
DRA) can be
interconnected to sleep larger groups up to
21(+5) people.
