We really loved our stay here. As big fans of the Atlantic coast, we have never spent time on the Jurassic coast. Swanage was great! It was an impromptu last minute booking, which the hosts were happy to accommodate. The location was perfect for my partner and I, our two children and dog. Set up as a second home, there was nothing we wanted for in Read morethe house. We slept wonderfully in range of the coastal sounds. We will definitely be booking to head back in the future. Thank you Ian&Co. Hide

Although we had some issues with the heating and lighting, the apartment was a pleasant place to stay in a fantastic location, ideal for exploring Swanage and Durlston. The living room and bedroom were very comfortable and if it hadn't been November we would have made good use of the balcony area !

This is in a lovely location near to the town centre. There are a lot of stairs which is a pain when the dog wants to go out but there is a handy bit of grass nearby. The double bed was very comfy.

The apartment is in a lovely spot, with a pleasant short walk into Swanage. All in all we enjoyed our stay, although for us the double bed was uncomfortable, we both had broken sleep. Nice touch leaving milk, wine and jam in the fridge. Two parking spaces is a big bonus, and the area is very quiet and peaceful.
