A character Grade II listed building overlooking the High Street and offering views over Swanage bay, The Ketch is part of a contemporary conversion of the town’s historic Ship Hotel, known as “Chandlers”

Just a short walk from the stone quay, Victorian Pier, beach and town centre, The Ketch provides an ideal location for a traditional family beach holiday, a centre for exploring the famous Jurassic Coastline, or simply a comfortable base for a relaxing weekend out of the main season.  Redecorated throughout for the 2007 season and stylishly furnished, this well equipped property includes books/toys/videos and games for all visitors.

Swanage boasts a wealth of traditional pubs, restaurants and charming cafes, and hosts many events including jazz, blues and folk festivals, carnival & regatta events throughout the year.  New Year’s Eve is a must for the fancy dress wearer, with The Ketch’s balcony giving you a unique view over the square as the town gathers to welcome in the New Year.

The ‘Blue Flag’ sandy beach is welcoming throughout the year, with Corfe Castle just a steam railway ride away.  Alternatively, make the short journey to Studland, and take the chain-linked ferry to the flourishing towns of Poole and Bournemouth.

If you are holidaying with friends or family, The Windjammer is situated within the Chandlers.
