Property code: OC-WY344

This stylish first-floor apartment is located in the heart of Swanage, offering convenient and comfortable accommodation for small groups or families. The town’s stunning sandy beach is just 0.5 miles away – it’s perfect for soaking up the sun, picnicking or building sandcastles with the family. Outdoorsy types will love joining the coastal path (1 mile) or heading to Durlston Country Park (1.5 miles) for breathtaking views and the chance to spot dolphins from the cliffs.

Inside this inviting holiday home, you’ll discover a bright, airy space with minimalist decor and a homely vibe. The open-plan living area features a comfy fabric sofa and a spacious dining table where you can sit down for meals, while the kitchen has plenty of light with its dual-aspect windows. You’ll have chic and comfortable bedrooms – a king-size, plus a twin room that can be converted into another king-size on request. The family bathroom is modern and elegant, and from March 2025, it’ll feature a new walk-in shower (with no bath) for added luxury. You’ll have access to a beautifully maintained, shared garden outside, where you can drink your morning coffee or read in the fresh air. Guests will also find private parking for one car.

Swanage has plenty to offer the curious visitor, whether you’re a beachcomber or a fan of quirky shops and Victorian charm. Wander along the restored Victorian pier (1 mile), where you can join a sailing trip or dive into the underwater world teeming with marine life. The Swanage Steam Railway (0.5 miles) provides a great time for the nostalgia-hungry among you – ride it to Corfe (5.5 miles), where you can admire the iconic castle. A day trip to Studland Bay, with its sandy shores, dunes and National Trust heathland walks, will be a soul-soothing experience.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size and 1 twin (twin has zip-and-link twin beds that can be converted into 1 king-size bed, please request your preference when booking)

Really lovely accommodation, spotlessly clean and well equipped. A 5 minute walk to the beachfront, 15 minutes into the centre so well located in a nice, quiet area. The parking space was also a great bonus as beachfront parking is expensive.

A lovely upstairs flat that is spotlessly clean and a very short walk to the sandy beach at the quieter end. It's a 10 minute walk to the town shops along the seafront if you don't want to drive. Free parking with permit provided.
