Property code: OC-WY619

Enjoying rooftop views towards the sea, the Isle of Wight and the rolling Purbeck Hills, this family-friendly upper-ground-floor apartment in the heart of Swanage is ideal for anyone craving an escape to the coast.

Climb five steps up to the main entrance of the building and then make your way into the apartment via the entrance hall. The heart of this home-away-from-home is in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which features French doors to the terrace and views over the rooftops out towards the bay. Boasting rich pops of colour, this social space reflects the vibrancy of the surrounding scenery, and provides everything you need to cook, relax and dine with loved ones. During the warmer months, throw open the French doors to unwind to the sounds of the evening breeze. Leading off the lounge area, you’ll find a peaceful bunk bedroom (a single over a double), whilst back through the hall, you’re met with a blissful king-size bedroom and contemporary family bathroom. Soak up stunning sea views as you dine alfresco on the beautiful terrace, which features garden furniture, perfect for entertaining. On-street parking is subject to availability.

Located along the Jurassic Coast on the Isle of Purbeck, Swanage is a haven for those looking to answer the call of the sea. Enjoy a traditional bucket-and-spade day at the gloriously golden sands of Swanage Beach, a mile away; relax on a deck chair or hire a pedalo to explore the crystal waters. From Swanage Beach, stroll from the seafront to the Victorian pier or join the South West Coast Path to be rewarded with some breathtaking views. Catch a steam train at the idyllic Swanage Heritage Railway (0.5 miles) to Corfe Castle, taking in the beautiful scenery of the Purbeck countryside along the journey.

Lovely apartment, well located and well equipped with stunning views. We all had a fabulous time and you can walk everywhere around Swanage and location is fab for venturing further afield. The only negative was late check in and early check out.

We had a fantastic week staying at IoW view. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. The location is very convenient, we were able to walk everywhere and didn't go out in the car at all. The roof terrace is real bonus but not to worry if the weather is not great because you can enjoy the fabulous view from inside.

Wonderful place to stay! The place is clean, bright and spacious and full of lots of comforts. Very welcome thoughtful touches too, like milk and biscuits and soap. Perfect location and the view is stunning. Highly recommend.

We spent a wonderful week at Wight View with our two dogs. The flat is spacious, well equipped, the view from the living room and balcony is awesome. Although located on the High Street it is rather quite during the night. Shops, sea front and restaurants are all in walking distance. We had amazing food and drink at the nearby Black Swan. Be aware Read morethis pub is very popular, so book early for food. We enjoyed walking at Durlston Country Park and Knoll Beach in Studland is great for dog walks, better than the local beach. Hide
