A boutique, contemporary seaside cottage, nestled in the heart of the town centre of Swanage.

Swanage is a coastal town with a strong sense of character, known for its sandy beach, Victorian pier, and access to the Jurassic Coast. The town offers a mix of independent shops, cafés, and pubs, as well as plenty of opportunities for walking, swimming, and exploring the surrounding countryside. Just beyond Swanage, the limestone cliffs of the Jurassic Coast provide some of Dorset’s best walking routes, including the trail to Old Harry Rocks. Durlston Country Park, a short distance away, is home to dramatic sea views and abundant wildlife. For a change of pace, the heritage steam railway runs through the Purbeck countryside to Corfe Castle, a historic village dominated by its striking medieval ruins. Take a nostalgic trip on the Swanage Railway to Corfe Castle, explore the breathtaking Jurassic Coast, or enjoy a scenic coastal walk to Studland Bay. With its central location, boutique interiors, and thoughtful touches, Compass Cottage is the perfect place to unwind in style while enjoying all that Swanage has to offer.
