This was our second visit to Deco, and it was even better than the first time. There was new furniture which was very comfy, with reclining seats. My daughters said this is the best equipped property we have stayed in, and we have stayed in a lot.

The apartment has the best view in Swanage. We enjoyed the apartment for the second time - and enjoyed it so much we re-booked for next year whilst we were staying. My party enjoyed it so much - I can see us booking an annual family stay - as there really is room for 8

Possibly the best view in Swanage! Nipped down for a week - and we were all bowled over by the view from the lounge and the decks. The central location is convenient for everything - shops, transport and the beach.

We had a fabulous stay in this apartment. The location is perfect with convenient parking, a short walk into the town and being right on the beach front. The views are spectacular, we had a couple of wet days but it didn't ruin things for us as we could still enjoy watching the sea from the lovely big windows in the apartment. The apartment was cleRead morean, comfortable and very well equipped. I was very impressed with the kitchen supplies, we had everything we needed and all of a good standard. Hide

A beautiful, well proportioned, spotlessly clean and very well equipped property with stunning views! My husband who is wheelchair bound, was able access the building and get around the apartment with no problems at all apart from the fact that the stairs (if needed fire/lift breakdown)) would have caused us personally a problem due to his disabiliRead morety. That said - WE LOVED IT AND HOPE TO RETURN!! The apartment is extremely well situated both for the beach and the town. Loved the information packs Hide
