Absolutely stunning weekend for my sister's hen do at Bella Vista. The property is fabulous, wonderful living space, yet ideal for privacy in the bedrooms. The view and location couldnt be better. Swanage is a gorgeous little town, and the beaches were wonderful, clean, spacious and relaxing. More

I have stayed at Bella Vista twice now, once at a friend's big birthday bash during a cold January weekend in 2011 and more recently under more balmy conditions with the warmest March temperatures we have had in 22 years.

We had a wonderful celebration for a friends 50th, couldn't have been better. Extremely comfortable beds, immaculately clean, with every ammenity.
