May Cottage is a delightful three-bedroom cottage situated in Swanage, Dorset, accommodating up to seven guests and welcoming pets. Recently renovated to a high standard, the cottage features a modern kitchen equipped with new appliances and furniture, ample storage, and a cozy atmosphere that makes it feel like a home away from home. The property boasts a sunny, enclosed garden perfect for families and pets, along with convenient parking right outside.

Both bedrooms offer generous storage space. The family bathroom on this floor is stylishly designed with rustic wood paneling and a spacious walk-in shower. The second floor features a loft conversion that includes a beautifully airy double bedroom, complete with Velux windows, a cozy chair, and an adjacent W.C., which adds privacy for larger groups.
