The Mount Swanage - sleeps 16 guests in 7 bedrooms

Room to relax – with seven bedrooms, three large reception rooms and plenty of space for 7-14 adult guests (up to 16 guests including children), The Mount has been used to celebrate special birthdays, hosted theatre groups rehearsing plays, and provided comfortable accommodation for guests of couples getting married at nearby Durlston Castle. Grandparents have enjoyed a week away with their children and grandchildren, with room to eat and play together and space enough to relax.
Built in the Arts & Crafts style in 1908, The Mount sits in a prominent position in Swanage in the stunning Isle of Purbeck. The town's sandy beaches, cafes, restaurants and pubs are a lovely walk downhill one way, while in the other direction the dramatic cliffs of the Jurassic Coast and the rare fauna and flora of Durlston await. The house itself is surrounded by a large garden hidden behind stone walls and bay hedges, and there's a music room and a full-size pool table inside.
The Mount is a country house set within a bustling resort, giving the best of both worlds.

Lived up to expectations!
A great stay at this wonderful house. We'd read many of the very positive reviews and weren't sure it would live up to expectations but it did. Great location and facilities with excellent host communication.

Fantastic house for a family gathering
Perfect house with lots of large rooms and beautiful garden. The host was extremely helpful and welcoming. The children all loved the pool table and piano and fantastic garden. Durlston country park is at the end of the street and super for dog walks through the fields and along the costal path. Would highly recommend this house !

Excellent costal holiday
Wonderful, open, large house with views and pleasant grounds in nice neighborhood. Close to costal pathway, local park, beaches, and town. Kitchen very well stocked, so easy to cook in or go out for meals. Hostess especially thoughtful with accommodating our infant and children, and extremely easy to work with before and during our stay. Overall, exceeded our expectations.

50th Birthday - Family Celebration
I contacted Elaine just 8-weeks prior to the celebration having been let down by another property and the experience from that point was delightful. 14 of us were getting together to celebrate my wife's birthday and all of the communication between Elaine and I (supported by my daughter) was superb, speedy, really helpful responses and directions made arriving and settling into the beautiful house so simple and seamless. Upon arrival, we were delighted to find an amazing property, lovingly looked after and with attention to some of the smallest detail (for example the soaps in the rooms were locally made - loved that). We were blessed by some excellent weather during the long-weekend, and that helped make the experience for all so enjoyable (albeit supported by many bottles of bubbly) - the rooms were clean, well-maintained and bright. The living areas were spacious and full of all of the items to make live easy, plenty of utilities and cookware made things so simple, with 2 x dishwashers to assist in keeping this tidy during our stay. Some additional items which you wouldn't normally find, but added to the overall quality of the experience were a piano, a selection of guitars and recorders plus a full sized pool table which doubled up as a dining table - great idea... delighted with the property. The garden was large and spacious, the weather helped and we played garden games, including badminton and croquet, which were provided and a BBQ which included simple instructions for use and keep clean for others to use in the future. Outside of the venue, we took a walk across the coastal paths with 2 dogs and small children, that was a great experience. We also visited a local café / bar (Salt-Pig) for a Sunday lunch which was delightful, friendly and catered for local ciders and superb food and local experience. All in all, the celebration of my wife's 50th birthday could not have gone better - she had a great time, as did we all and the wine Elaine gave us as a moving in gift helped - thank you for that. 10/10 - we will visit for our 60th in a decade or so :-).

Great accommodation in Swanage
Excellent accommodation in Swanage. Great house with loads of room and exactly as described. Enjoyed the pool table. The bath robes were much appreciated and the sound system was also very good. Clean and well fitted out, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water and everything in good condition. We had absolutely no problems and would very highly recommend the accommodation.

Great venue for family get together.
Brilliant property and garden. Party of 9 adults, 5 children and a baby. Lots of space for communal activities and also escapes for quiet moments. Owners extremely helpful but not at all obtrusive. Highly recommended.

Fantastic property
The Mount is a beautiful character property in a lovely location. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a great get-away. My friends and I go away together for a long weekend every year and the Mount is definitely at the top of our list for a wonderful break. Although we would normally go out to eat, we found ourselves eating in in the evenings just so that we could enjoy the house. There is so much to do and see around Swanage that we are already thinking that we will need to go back. We were very lucky to have great weather but might have had a chance to make more use of the music room, games, puzzles and art materials if it had been wet! Thank you Elaine

Beautiful, well looked after spacious property.
We had a fantastic weekend as a group of friends with children. The property was well stocked and had plenty of room - the owners had been so very helpful and also provided plenty of instructions and a welcome pack. Swanage itself was lovely - the beach was perfect for the children. Fabulous place.

Great place to stay
My family and I had a great stay here, we found the house well equipped, it had lots of spare equipment and a well stocked kitchen. It had enough things to entertain all 8 children that was there, they had an art drawer, garden toys, cards, books, train tracks. It was great, Elaine was very friendly and helpful throughout the booking process and during our stay. Very nice place to stay for large groups.
