As seen in our new Holidays film - Seaview is a former tennis pavilion turned quirky holiday cottage with stacks of charm. From its veranda you’ll have front row seats of Studland Bay. Open the double French doors to a bright and airy space where cream wood-panelled walls run throughout the cottage.

Studland Beach is just a 10-minute walk away, where you’ll find a vast stretch of sand, an abundance of water sports and views of Old Harry Rocks. For a more secluded beach without the crowds, South Beach is just 180 metres from the cottage.

For walks along the Jurassic Coast, loop on to the South West Coast Path from Studland Bay and head down to Swanage.

The ruins of Corfe Castle are just a 10-minute drive inland. You'll have free entry during opening hours here and at other National Trust places for the duration of your stay.

What's provided in a National Trust cottage?
Heating: Wall mounted, programmable rointe electric heating included.

Parking: There is a small concrete drive which can accommodate one car close to the cottage. There is additional parking available in the National Trust carpark opposite the cottage.

WiFi: This is now available on site, but please note that intermittent connection problems can sometimes occur and should not be relied upon. We are pleased to provide free WiFi on site which is supported by BT.

Please note: This former pavilion lies opposite a busy popular inn, which can be very lively at times. The pub garden is next to the cottage garden.

There are some gaps in the planting and there is a five bar gate which means that any dogs may need to be supervised.

There is a badger set at the bottom of the garden at Seaview. We are unable to fence it off or fill the holes in, some of the holes are quite large so both children and adults need to be aware.
