Do you love holidays in Swanage too? It’s a special place and well-loved by so many. We never imagined our little holiday page would get to 600 followers! 🎉
We’re Ali and John and we started this page to tell you about our holiday let apartment Swanage Home from Home, which is ideal to rent for your family holiday, or to meet up with friends. We speak from experience when we say what a comfortable place it is to stay in because we rented the apartment for holidays ourselves before being fortunate enough to buy it.
The location is perfect as it’s so quick to get to the beach and shops - just a 2 or 3 minute stroll. We love the private balcony, which is a glorious place to relax in the afternoon sun. And having parking in Swanage is a real bonus.
We’ve been holidaying in Swanage with our boys for 20 years. John’s been coming much longer, camping in Priests’ Way campsite with his mates, and he remembers the legendary New Year’s Eves in Swanage, with everyone in fancy dress on a packed High Street. Over time, the group of mates has grown to include girlfriends, wives and then families, who all have a brilliant time reconnecting in Swanage every Carnival Week.
Holidays in Swanage are an important part of family life for our boys. Catching the steam train from Swanage Railway to Corfe Castle was a real adventure for them, straight out of the Famous Five books they loved for bedtime stories. Even when they were little, they loved our walk over Ballard Down to The Bankes Arms, which has become a favourite Swanage tradition for us. There’s so much to do here that we come as often as we can, and our guests must agree because they keep returning, year after year.
