Accommodation overview: This magnificent listed building offers wonderful character holiday accommodation in a residential area just a mile away from the lovely sandy beaches of Swanage Bay and a large selection of restaurants and shops. Newton Manor House dates back to the early 1600s with walls and roof built from local Purbeck stone. While having been fully modernised, the house retains a lot of its original charm with ornate oak panelling and wood carvings. The principal rooms overlook the serene landscaped gardens, while the first and second floor rooms offer far-reaching views across the small seaside town of Swanage, to the sea and coast beyond.
The town of Swanage nestles peacefully amidst the beautiful Isle of Purbeck countryside, and is set between the Heads of Durlston and Studland, sloping gently down to the water’s edge. This small pleasant resort has an array of restaurants, interesting shops and a small theatre, not to mention spectacular floral displays in the parks and gardens. In season, pleasure cruisers leave the pier daily, bound for Poole, Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight. The Lifeboat Centre at Pervil Point is open to the public and fascinating to visit, whilst Durlston Country Park provides magnificent cliff walks and views of Anvil Point Lighthouse. A trip aboard Swanage’s restored steam railway also makes for a fun day out, winding its way through pretty scenery to the ruins of Corfe Castle.
Magnificent coastal walks extend north from the town to the National Trust sandy beaches at Studland while the South West Coastal Path leads to Kimmeridge, Tyneham and West Lulworth in the west, much of which is National Trust land and rich in local flora and fauna. The larger seaside resorts of Poole and Bournemouth are just a ferry ride away, boasting a huge range of shops, theatres, museums, cinemas, and restaurants.

The Park is applying for a ‘Green Business Award’ as the importance of supporting the natural environment is strongly advocated here, ensuring sustainability and protecting the heritage of this area. Responsible tourism is a fundamental part of the business ethos and informs all that this family-run company does.
The Park is now open all year round, including Christmas, half terms and Easter, which is possible due to the introduction of central heating in all properties, including solar thermal systems, underfloor heating, and improved insulation and ventilation.
Eco lodges, built using sustainable materials with a low carbon rating, blend in beautifully with the landscaping and native planting around The Park. The range of cottages provides that extra touch of comfort and privacy. Some of the units are specifically designed to create disability access with ramps, bathing facilities and thresholds to allow easy wheelchair manoeuvrability.
The cottages at The Park have from one to six bedrooms. Each has been refurbished to the high standard that incorporates the ethos of sustainability, simplicity and comfort with a nostalgic twist. Windsong, ref. TCA, is also under the same ownership.
The Park at Mawgan Porth has a huge range of facilities for everyone to enjoy, whatever age, such as an outdoor pool and terrace area. There is also an indoor leisure centre which includes a cafe, heated indoor swimming pool and lounge space with sauna and steam room.

The beach provides something for everyone, from surfing, rock pooling, crabbing, kite flying, picnics during the day, to sunsets with a lazy beach barbecue to round off the perfect day.
The village of Mawgan Porth lies between two more famous neighbours - Padstow to the east and Newquay to the west. Each of these holiday resorts offer their own unique charm and facilities, such as surf schools, a zoo, marine aquarium, off road cycling trails, kite surfing, sea fishing, kayaking, go karting, and world renowned chefs and their restaurants - Rick Stein in Padstow and Jamie Oliver at Watergate Bay in Newquay. This places The Park in the most enviable location to enjoy these bustling resorts while being able to retire to the peace and tranquillity at the end of the day.
If visitors feel the need to travel further afield, it is surprising how diverse a range of tourist attractions and quaint Cornish villages can be reached with ease, from National Trust houses and gardens, the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Roseland Peninsula and historic Bodmin Moor. The towns and villages to visit include Fowey, Falmouth, Port Isaac, St Ives, Truro and Mevagissey which all provide an excellent day out.

Accommodation overview: Devon’s best kept secret... Just inland from some of Devon’s loveliest and most natural beaches lies the village of Tuckenhay set along Bow Creek on the River Dart....

The Mill which once produced some of the finest paper in the land, nestles in the green and shady Bow Creek, a languid inlet of the River Dart where private yachts have replaced the old tall-masted ships and barges. Around the mill are all the buildings which once went to make up a small bustling village port. These listed buildings have been sympathetically restored and converted to a delightful range of holiday properties to suit larger family parties. Awards have been won for the conversion of buildings and the conservation of the area. With so much to do, many holidaymakers return year after year.
