Property code: OC-WY477

Providing cosy and welcoming accommodation for up to four guests, this light-filled apartment makes a great base for enjoying a well-earned break in a beautiful part of the Isle of Purbeck. The apartment is ideally situated for making the most of the historic seaside town of Swanage, with a variety of great places to eat and drink just metres from the door. Swanage has three lovely beaches, all within half a mile, and is home to plenty of attractions and landmarks including Santa-Fe Fun Park, Swanage Pier, Peveril Point and Durlston Castle in the beautiful Durlston Country Park. From the nearby station you can take a steam train trip through to the historic village of Corfe Castle, 6 miles west.

Entering this airy and refreshing apartment, the lounge/diner provides a lovely, sociable space. The light-filled lounge has plenty of seating, and the dining table is over by the bay window which offers a fabulous view out across Swanage, where you can spot steam trains heading towards the Purbeck Hills. The apartment also has a compact, homely kitchen, a refreshing shower room and two colourful bedrooms: a charming double room with plenty of storage and sea views, and a cosy twin room.

While the apartment doesn’t have any outdoor space of its own, with the beach and other delights of Swanage on your doorstep, you aren’t short of places to explore.

Parking: Please note the walkway from the parking spaces at the side of the building up to the main entrance door is steep, there are some unallocated unrestricted roadside spaces opposite the building, these are very much on a first come first served basis.

Good location. Very clean and adequate for our needs. It was appreciated that small items like washing up liquid, toilet rolls, salt, pepper, tea, coffee, tin foil, kitchen roll were already there. I would stay there again.

Very comfortable flat with liovely views. Close to the town centre and the only slight problem was the steep access to the car port as a member of our party has mobility problems. Overall very satisfied with the flat and the location.
