At Lizards Rest, Swanage's sandy beach and lively town centre are both about four minutes away on foot, so you can do exactly that. This substantial detached chalet bungalow sleeps 9 in four bedrooms and offers enough space to make a holiday with grandparents, children, or a group of friends feel relaxed and easy, not crowded. The house has a separate dining room with a table for 10, so everyone can sit down together after a day at the beach or sightseeing without having to look at the washing up. The spacious kitchen includes a range cooker, dishwasher, and plenty of cooking utensils and equipment, while a utility room handles towels, sandy clothes, and laundry. The sitting room has comfortable seating and Sky TV, with books and games to hand when the weather turns. It's a practical, welcoming family home, with different rooms for conversation, television and quieter moments. The bedroom arrangement is particularly useful for mixed generations. A twin bedroom and shower room are on the ground floor. Upstairs, there's a king room with a separate dressing area, a double and a triple room with bunk beds and a single bed, plus the family bathroom. Outside, the enclosed garden has a good-sized lawn, patio furniture and a charcoal barbecue, with space for children to play while the adults settle in for lunch. 3 off-road parking spaces are another welcome advantage in a popular seaside town, especially in the height of summer when a parking space can be hard to find. Swanage's beach, pier, shops and places to eat are all close by, and the heritage railway station is roughly 0.4 miles away. Take a scenic train ride towards Corfe Castle, walk the coast at Durlston Country Park (4.3 miles from the holiday house) or explore the Purbeck Hills and Old Harry Rocks (4.3 miles away). With so much within walking distance, days can be as busy or as unhurried as everyone chooses. Come evening, it's a short stroll home for supper in the garden and a few hours watching a film or your favourite TV show together. ## Facilities - **Accessibility:** Ground-floor twin bedroom and shower room; entrance and garden steps.
