The Ketch is a charming three-bedroom cottage set within a beautifully converted Grade II listed building, ideally located in Swanage town centre and only a few steps from the beach. With views over Swanage Bay and direct access to the historic High Street, this unique property forms part of the contemporary redevelopment of the former Ship Hotel, alongside Chandlers, The Ship Inn, and the onsite restaurant. Guests are perfectly positioned to enjoy the Stone Quay, Victorian Pier, and the town’s sandy beach, all just a short stroll away.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, and Nespresso coffee machine, ensuring everything you need for a convenient self-catering holiday.
The ground floor also includes two bedrooms: one with twin single beds and a second with a king size day bed. A family bathroom provides a bath with overhead shower, basin, heated towel rail, and w.c. Bath and hand towels are provided.
Upstairs, the first floor features a spacious eaves bedroom with a deep king-size bed and television, plus a separate w.c. and basin.
Additional features include gas central heating, and a small south-facing patio area with outdoor furniture. A travel cot and high chair is available to hire from Swanage Holiday Properties.
