Property code: OC-WY516

This stylish ground-floor apartment is only 300 metres from the heart of Swanage, making it ideal for couples, friends or families looking for a restful seaside holiday. The Swanage beachfront (0.5 miles) is a favourite in summer, with pretty coloured beach huts and ice cream parlours. You can also take in the beautiful scenery on a 6-mile train ride from the Swanage Railway or, in the summer months, head out from the pier for cruises along the Jurassic Coast or to see the iconic Old Harry Rocks.

This elegant and attractive property has delightful, relaxing coastal hues and a contemporary feel to ensure that you have an unforgettable stay. The lovely open-plan kitchen/living/diner, with beautiful interiors, is the ideal spot to unwind together. The kitchen has all the appliances to make meal preparation a breeze, and a breakfast bar keeps things social for whoever is cooking. There is plenty of comfortable seating and a Smart TV for movie nights. The open-plan space means that everyone can enjoy their activities in each other’s company. A balcony from the living room has seating perfect for your morning brew. Across the hallway is a twin bedroom and the family bathroom. You’ll find a second king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower and double patio doors to the veranda. From here, you can get glimpses of the sea. Although there is no outside area, it is less than 500 metres for a walk on the beach. Private parking for one car is available in an underground garage (max clearance height 1.95 metres).

Explore this beautiful area with a trip to Corfe Castle (6 miles) and then enjoy a walk in the Purbeck Hills. Fossil hunters, rock climbers, and walkers will love discovering Houns Tout (5.5 miles). Sandbanks Beach (8 miles via the Sandbanks Ferry) and South Beach (4 miles) are a must for a relaxing day on the beach for sandcastles or water sports.

Please note, there is scaffolding up at the building opposite across the road.

We had a great stay as a family of 4. The flat was well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. There were some building works opposite during the week with noise starting from 7am some days - didnt bother us as children have us up much earlier but might annoy others. Great location as a base to explore the town (albeit v.steep hill to Read moreget home!), and surrounding Dorset area. We would stay again! Hide

It is a comfortable and well equipped apartment situated only a 5 minute downhill stroll to the town centre. Beware the return journey is quite a steep climb. When we arrived we were quite disappointed to find no welcome pack particularly as this was promised in the special features information. We did not appreciate finding previous guests leftoveRead morers - vegetables, chips and ice creams in the freezer. The negative aspects are easily rectified by the owners/agency. Hide

Lovely apartment with a great view. Its a bit of an uphill walk from the town but manageable. It was lovely waking up to a sea view from the main bedroom. The apartment was well equipped and the furniture was lovely. The double bed was exceptionally comfortable. What we didn't like was that food from previous occupants had been left in the frRead moreeezer and that the apartment felt like it had not been cleaned properly. However this might have been an off week having seen other reviews. Also we have stayed in many properties and this is the first where we were not left a welcome pack of milk etc. In the area we particularly like mcallisters for breakfast a s had a lovely couple of meals in Tawny's. It's a good idea to make reservations as it can be hard to find places to eat in the evening. Overall we gad a great stay. Hide

Lovely apartment in a great location. Very well equipped with large comfortable rooms. Plenty of space for a family of four and two small dogs. Great to have a private parking space too! Its a short walk down quite a steep hill to the high street but at least it means you can walk off the extra holiday treats! I would stay here again without hesiRead moretation. Hide
