Lizards Rest - a large budget friendly home for the extended family

A great base and comfortable family home. This substantial detached holiday home offers ample accommodation for the extended family in a seaside location. Situated just a four minute walk from the Blue Flag beaches of Swanage and an equal distance to seaside town centre, with all the amenities that this bustling former fishing village has to offer. Swanage has long been recognised as a family friendly destination with plenty to keep all ages entertained, even if the weather keeps you off the beautiful beaches. A wealth of good quality eateries and a host of activities for all the family including award winning sandy beach, museum, gardens, sport facilities, sailing, diving, golf and a range of shops.



The Saxon walled town of Wareham is a fifteen minute drive away, relax on the Quay or take a pleasure cruise onto Brownsea Island and Poole Harbour. Visit the beautiful National Trust owned ruins at Corfe Castle. For a special, mesmerising day out visit the world renowned Monkey World, just a thirty minute drive away

Great place to stay

Second time we have used this property and a great one it is! Always clean and tidy, in a great location as a nice walk into town. Only one downside and it’s happened both times we have stayed is the downstairs showers floods the bathroom, it’s been an easy fix as it caused by blocked drains outside so only suggestion from us it when cleaning the property just check the outside drains as the husband has managed to clean it both times
