Puffin Lodge

Puffin Lodge sleeps five in two bedrooms, half a mile from the middle of Swanage. The shop, the pub and the beach are all 0.5 miles away. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area has a breakfast bar, a dining table and a Smart TV, and French doors open onto the garden.

One bedroom has a king-size bed and a TV and DVD player. The other has a king-size bed and an extra single. A shower room with a WC and a separate WC serve the lodge. The kitchen has an oven with a gas hob, a microwave, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a tumble dryer. There is a welcome pack, plus a radio and a second DVD player.

Outside there is a lawn, decking and garden furniture. A garage holds bikes, kayaks and surf boards. Private parking takes four cars, and there is an electric vehicle charging point on site. Guests bring their own beach towels. The lodge does not provide a cot or a highchair. Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is before 10am. If you want to stay for 10 or 12 nights, you are asked to get in touch.

Dogs are not allowed. The lodge suits a family of five who want room for bikes, boards and a car or two.
