About this property
Situated in one of the oldest parts of Swanage, this delightful Grade II listed former quarryman's cottage dates back to 1804. Over the years the cottage has been beautifully modernised and refurbished without losing any of its charm.
A quaint Grade II English cottage situated in Swanage and next to a beautiful 17th Century Church. Brimming with character and lots of original features throughout including beamed ceilings, exposed Purbeck stone walls and gorgeous fireplace, the cottage has been decorated and furnished beautifully throughout.

We loved our short stay in Little Steppes. The cottage was cosy and well equipped with everything we needed for a self-catering break. The décor is tasteful and furnishings comfortable. The shower and bath were lovely and the bed firm but comfortable. It is dog-friendly, which is a huge bonus: there is a courtyard garden for late night visits plus a green space at the bottom of the road. There were some nice welcoming touches: tea, coffee, milk and sugar, plus biscuits for us and treats for the dog. Little Steppes is an easy walk (one mile or so) from Swanage town centre. It is in a lovely, quiet area, next door to a church and surrounded by other heritage buildings. The main bus routes run along the bottom of the road, which was terrific for us as we were completing the South West Coast Path walk. A convenience store, two pubs, an Indian restaurant and a chippy are all within very easy walking distance (2-10 mins). Although there is no allocated parking space, we had no trouble parking a few steps away from the cottage. We absolutely loved Little Steppes and didn't want to leave. Thank you. We will book with Original Cottages again.
