This is a fantastic complex to stay in and feels really private and quiet, just the right distance from town and a lovely walk in. Clean and well furnished, great to have two parking spaces.

Ocean View in Swanage is in a good position with a partial view of the bay. The property however is let down by neglect. For example the carpets are badly stained, the bathrooms have a broken bath panel & mouldy sealant around the wash hand basin which is no longer attached to the tiles. Part of the ceiling is damaged in the sitting room. The frRead moreidge has a missing glass shelf & the freezer leaks. The property reminds me of a shared student flat many years ago and is definitely not 4 star.

We had a fabulous week in Swanage. The house is well equipped and in a great location. The view of the sea and Ballard Down, although between two houses, was a bonus. It was an easy walk to the pier from where we took a boat trip to Poole. It is also a short walk to the shops and beach. No need to use the car except for travelling further afield.

The apartment is tired and in need of some TLC. Based on the price paid it is overpriced. Blown and cracked patio windows. Dirty carpets. Ceiling damage after leak. Kettle peeling . Toaster rusty. Condiment jars need washing.. Tea caddy has tea bags which have gone yellow. Bath panel cracked and taped up. Shower over bath original and old.

Good location although the sea view is extremely limited. The house is well equipped but in need of some time and money being to update fixtures etc. There was a musty smell in both bedrooms. It should also be noted that the allocated parking spaces are extremely tight which meant gymnastics trying to get in and out of the cars.
