The location was very convenient for the beach and town centre shops. Only slight downsides were parking - you have to get expert at tucking in well and turning in small spaces, the stairs - only a problem if you are getting on in age and your family want you to carry all the bags up and down, and the proximity to bars which were a little noisy on Read moreFriday night.

It is so beautifully positioned right on the sea-front with exceptional views, we swam in the sea every day, the beach has just been awarded blue flag beach of the year 2023!

The property is central to facilities that Swanage offers, with uninterrupted views of the bay. The car did not move from the front parking as we used the easily accessed bus service when we travelled out of Swanage. We found that pre-booking for dining out was the norm.

Lovely clean beachfront flat, great to be able to hear and see the sea the whole time. Ideal location right in town. We worried parking outside could be a bit tight specially with a large car, but we managed it fine in the end.

We had an amazing weeks holiday at seagulls view, the apartment had an amazing view out to the sea from large windows that you could open fully or only a slight bit which made it feel very safe with our 2 year old, there was a lovely newly refurbished kitchen which has everything we needed to be able to cook comfortably for the week, the decking arRead moreea out the back is very spacious and also I loved the fact there was child safety gates on the stairs if you wanted them up which really helped.

Very well situated overlooking Swanage Bay. Its a joy to look out of the windows. Its not noisy. It has private parking. Its spacious and comfortable. It is a good base from which to explore the immediate area and Purbeck in general.
