  • Contemporary penthouse apartment with its own rooftop terrace
  • Set in a pretty Art-Deco-style building with partial sea views
  • Situated close to Swanage’s town centre and its sandy beach

Property code: OC-WY269

This charming, three-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of a stylish block just 300 metres from a beautiful sandy beach. With space for four adults and two children, it’s ideal for a relaxing seaside escape for families or groups of up to six. Start the day with a chilly swim or a jog on the sand, then enjoy wandering around Swanage, with the town centre just 500 metres from the property.

You’ll access the property via a lift, then enter an airy open-plan living area incorporating a lounge, kitchen and diner. Stylish oak flooring and underfloor heating create a welcoming atmosphere, while plush sofas are on hand for relaxation. You’ll have a TV with DVD and a dining table for six. Cook up meals in the light-filled kitchen and when it’s time to retire for the night, head to one of three bedrooms, each with its own balcony. The king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while the twin can be converted into a king-size on request. A third bedroom is perfect for kids, with a cosy bunk bed. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the setup. Outside, take the steps up to a private rooftop terrace with decking – here you’ll have panoramic views of the Purbeck Hills and glimpses of the sea. In good weather, it’s a delight to gather around for al fresco drinks as you soak in the scenery. Private parking for two cars is also available.

Stroll to the beach for a picnic or browse Swanage’s eclectic mix of shops before popping in for lunch somewhere. For a historical afternoon out, head towards the dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle just 5.5 miles away. Outdoorsy types will love exploring the natural beauty of the Isle of Purbeck, with its dramatic coastline and idyllic countryside.

The property is spacious and generally well equipped the beds and furniture are comfortable. We needed fresh bedding and the TV wasnt working in the middle of the week. Both issues were resolved very quickly and efficiently by the staff and we were pleased by their prompt response.

Our second holiday at this apartment and still an amazing place to stay. Very clean and well equipped, yes it does get warm throughout the day but open the roof terrace door and the other doors to the balconies and it soon cools down with a nice breeze blowing through. Perfect location for shops, beach and exploring the area. WiFi and TV signal canRead more be a bit hit and miss but you dont go on holiday to watch TV especially when the views from the roof terrace are just stunning. You share a parking area with flat 10 and youre dependent on how good their parking is - if you both have larger cars it can be a bit tight. Overall its one of the nicest places weve stayed and hope to the back for the third time next year. Hide

This is a beautiful flat, clean, comfortable and quiet. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Lovely flat with two balconies and roof terrace. Very well equipped. The parking space is only suitable for a small car as is sloped and has roof height restriction. Flat is very hot, we arrived in a heatwave and it was hard to get cool. The balconies have doors that can be fixed open but you obviously cant leave them open when you are out all day.Read more Owners recognise the warmth of the flat and provide fans and have a heat exchanger type system in place. Close to beach and near bus stop for the Purbeck Breezer open top bus to Bournemouth - frequent service which goes along to Studland, across on the ferry to Sandbanks. Good views along the way.Key safe is a bit temperamental. Flat beautifully clean. Hide

Beautiful and well equipped apartment in a brilliant location. Great views and very peaceful with easy parking but only a few minutes stroll from the gorgeous beach and the town of Swanage. Easy to get to Studland and Corfe by a very scenic back road. Highly recommended

This apartment was extremely good value for our weeks stay in April. It is in a fantastic location for walking into Swanage and great to have parking too (covered so your car doesnt get covered in gull mess). Well equipped inside and lovely having tea, coffee, biscuits and milk too. Far more kitchen equipment than a lot of places weve stayed atRead more, and loads of towels. The view from the rooftop is stunning - a great place for star gazing too. The only downside was that the apartment does get very hot when the suns out, but opening up the rooftop door and a balcony door does release the heat quickly when theres a breeze. We did have a light stop working during our stay, but this was fixed before we returned that day - excellent service from Original Cottages and the owner for sorting that so quickly. Would definitely recommend and use again if staying in the area. Hide

Very well equipped property in a great location. Does get very hot within the property and doors can be opened to let air in plus fans supplied for each room. Parking is a bonus but there is no direct access to the lift from the parking area - which is for 2 small cars parked one in front of the other - so access is round the corner via front door.Read more An excellent property for a relaxing and comfortable holiday.
