Butterfly Lodge is a premium holiday home on the Jurassic Coast, accommodating up to six guests across three bedrooms, in a well-appointed and comfortable layout.
An elevated position allows for stunning views across the iconic Swanage Bay and Purbeck Hills. It’s set within a quiet holiday park location, and has easy access to central Swanage and its beautiful sandy beach, as well as some stunning Dorset coastal path walks.
The space
This amazing modern lodge at Swanage Coastal Park welcomes guests up a few steps and onto a gorgeous wrap-around gated deck. Towards the front side of the deck, facing north-east, and offering 180-degree views from Corfe Castle over the Purbeck Hills to Swanage Bay, is a beautiful balcony area complete with contemporary rattan style armchairs — absolutely ideal for summer drinks in the sun soaking up the incredible views.
Inside the main entrance-way is a spacious, light, and inviting open-plan kitchen living dining space — complete with vaulted ceiling, and wood flooring.
The kitchen comes well-equipped with washing machine, integrated fridge freezer, oven & hob, extractor hood, microwave, small appliances, and ample storage — beautifully finished with wood veneer worktops and a cream cupboard finish.
There’s also a large kitchen island with a breakfast bar on one side with four bar stools; some basic food supplies and cleaning equipment; and plenty of cookware, dishes, trays, utensils, cutlery, crockery and glassware.
Towards the front of the open-plan space is a dining table for six, around a simple oak table & chairs set, next to a large window with incredible views. The dining area can be expanded further with a pair of French doors opening up the main balcony of the decking.
The lounge is also towards the sea view side of the property and comes complete with a comfy L-shaped sofa, pouffe, coffee table, and a TV plus Blu-Ray DVD player, to watch all your favourite shows and films on.
The sleeping accommodation has three well-designed bedrooms and five beds, ideal for family groups.
The first bedroom along the hallway is a twin single room, complete with two comfortable single beds, a bedside cabinet, a soft carpet, and a good-sized wardrobe for storage.
The second bedroom is an additional twin room, with a bedside cabinet between two single beds, a soft carpet, and a tall wardrobe with plenty of space for clothing or other items.
The master bedroom, at the very rear of the property, features a double bed with neat bedside storage cabinets on either side, soft plush carpets, and a large window allowing in plenty of natural light. A walk-in wardrobe space is hidden behind the head end of the bed and features shelving, a hanging space, a vanity unit & chair with plug sockets, and a small bookcase. Also in the master bedroom is an ensuite shower room, with toilet, shower cubicle, basin, storage unit, and a heated towel rail.
Lastly, a beautiful bright family bathroom in the main hallway completes all the rooms, with a full bath unit, storage cabinets, toilet, basin, and a heated towel rail.
Included in your stay are bed linens, towels, a tea towel, and some basic washing up materials. There’s also a travel cot and highchair for an infant.
The whole property benefits from park-controlled free Wi-Fi, a gas central heating system with radiators, double-glazed windows, and secure railed and gated decking area. Outside there’s private parking available for two cars towards the rear side of the lodge.
For people with limited mobility, Butterfly lodge is mostly on one level — there is a small flight of stairs (leading up to the deck) of 5 steps with a handrail, a small step over a door frame to enter the front door, and a small step over the door frame to access the deck from the dining area. Otherwise, the lodge is all on one level.
