Tastefully and stylishly furnished, this rural barn is an ideal retreat for enjoying this delightful area. As its name suggests, Swallows’ Nest is home to a family of swallows and guests can wake up to their delightful birdsong and playful interaction. Outside there are two patio areas with garden furniture, one at the front and one at the rear of the property, to take advantage of the morning sunrise or evening sun. There is also a covered area with table tennis for guests to enjoy. Inside, the open plan living area has high vaulted ceilings, adding to the natural light from the Velux windows and patio doors, and the stylish design in a black and white theme adds to the spacious ambiance.

The Isle of Purbeck is renowned for its spectacular scenery including Poole Harbour – the largest natural harbour in Europe.

A short drive takes you to Lulworth Cove with its pebble beach and perhaps take a walk up and over the hill to famous Durdle Door. The whole of this area has lovely scenery and coastal walks. There are numerous attractions, ranging from the Bovington Tank Museum, Monkey World, Weymouth Sea Life Park and Butterfly Farm and Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens. The seaside town of Swanage with its golden sandy beach and Durlston Country Park and Steam Railway are well worth a visit.

If you want a quiet place to stay then this is it. Located at the end of a lane with only the different types of birds for company. Wool is a nice sort of village with a verity of small shops and two pubs. the Bear just sells beer ant a meal then it is the Ship. This pub serves excellent meals and local beers. Wool it self is in a good location for lots of places on the coast or in land. The well known Tank Museum is just round the corner and is a good day out.

We were very happy with swallows nest as we have been with other of your rentals. The only grumble was a lack of clothes hangers.
