If you look up ‘great holiday’ in the dictionary, it should really just show you a photo of Swanage Bay. Adventurers can explore the coast with the most and dive into Jurassic history. Railway lovers can enjoy the fabulous vintage steam trains. And for walkers, the chocolate box villages, miles of shoreline and famous Corfe Castle ruins should be enough to keep you on your toes!
Meanwhile, on park, we have facilities and activities aplenty to keep you relaxed, well fed (and watered!) and entertained. There’s an indoor pool, gym, well stocked bar and more. Or you could just kick back in your lovely abode with a sea view. Dreamy.
Beach bliss, Dorset charm and endless holiday vibes.
Why Swanage Bay View?
If you’re partial to a stunning coastal view, look no further! Swanage Bay is very easy on the eye.

The resort is just a pebble’s throw from a gorgeous beach, and buzzing seaside towns, so if you can tear yourself away from the top-notch facilities on-site, Dorset adventures await on the doorstep

FAQs
How quickly can I move in after purchase?
We get it, once you’ve found your holiday home, you’ll want to move in asap. If yours is already on park and you’ve paid in full, you’ll be in within 14 days (often sooner). If your home is new from the manufacturer, we can only prepare it when it arrives –but we’ll keep you updated every step of the way. Either way, the perfect upgrade to your downtime won’t be far away!
How long is the park open?
The park is open for you to enjoy from 1st March to 15th January.
Will my holiday home be covered by warranty?
Yes. Whether it’s brand new, ex-demo, or pre-loved, you’ll enjoy peace of mind with our exclusive 3-year warranty package. At Away Resorts, age really doesn’t matter, we’ve got you covered. Our brick-built cottages are sold with a 10 year NHBC warranty.
Do I have to pay extra to use the park facilities?
Facilities are covered in your pitch fees, so please fill your boots! Bookable activities will carry a small charge.
How long will the park tour take?
As long (or as short) as you like. We’ll happily show you everything, but it’s your day. Feel free to bring your family along if you’d like to turn your tour into a mini adventure! We can supply you with activity passes if you want to get a full feel for the park’s awesomeness.
