Traditional and welcoming all year round, Swanage sits at the eastern edge of the Isle of Purbeck, its thriving town centre home to big-name and independent stores that will satisfy every shopper. The sweeping bay here has gently sloping sands and clear waters where visitors of all ages can stroll and swim, while close by there’s a tempting range of restaurants, bars and shops all offering traditional seaside treats. No visit would be complete without a steam railway ride through the countryside to ancient Corfe Castle, 5.5 miles away; Lulworth Cove, famous for its panoramic views, unique geology and crystal-clear waters, is another must-see, just 17 miles along the coast. Head 3.5 miles north of Swanage and you’ll reach beautiful Studland Bay – catch the ferry from here to the exclusive enclave of Sandbanks for a real taste of luxury.
Located within a quiet residential building close to the town and beach, this first-floor apartment is ideal for couples who want to explore the coast and countryside. Once inside, you’ll find a comfortable open-plan living area with seating, TV, DVD, dining suite and kitchen area, all well-lit thanks to a big bay window that offers lovely views across Swanage Bay. For quieter moments, the nearby reading room is ideal – snuggle up on the sofa and you’ll feel a million miles from the everyday! Holidays in Swanage can be as busy or laid-back as you like; however you’ve spent the day, you’ll be pleased to be able to retire to the peaceful bedroom here, where there’s a double bed, TV, sea views from the window and an en-suite shower room. For additional convenience, the apartment also has a family bathroom.
There’s no garden here but the beach is less than 350 metres away and the well-tended Prince Albert Gardens, with their open-air amphitheatre, are close by too.
