A great choice for solo travellers, friends or couples, this charming apartment is the ideal base for lazy days on the beach or getting active in the great outdoors. Perfectly positioned for exploring Swanage and its enticing surroundings, its welcoming and comfortable interior is complemented by two private outdoor spaces and off-road parking.
Access the front door of the first-floor apartment via a shared entrance and stairs, to find a compact hallway leading into your open-plan living space. Prepare meals in the bijou kitchen – which includes a microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine – and dine together at the small table before sinking into the soft seating to enjoy a show on the TV. On this level, you’ll also find the bright double bedroom, which has ample clothes storage, as well as the bathroom with a shower over the bath. A special bonus of the apartment is the mezzanine, overlooking the lounge, which is reached via a steep, open-tread, paddle staircase. Tucked under low, sloping ceilings, this comes complete with a sofa bed (available on request) and a second TV – a cosy spot for additional guests. Outside, two balconies – one accessed from the lounge, the other from the bedroom – provide sunny spaces to enjoy morning coffee, sunset drinks or quiet moments in the fresh air. You’ll have the benefit of an allocated, off-road parking space, too.
Swanage’s independent shops and variety of pubs, cafes and restaurants are less than 500 metres away, as is its gently sloping, sandy beach. Spend the day sunbathing, swimming or learning a new water sport such as paddleboarding or kayaking, go on a boat cruise or try sea fishing in the bay. If you feel like venturing out of town, Corfe Castle, the Saxon town of Wareham, Studland Bay and the Arne Nature Reserve are all within 9 miles.
