This apartment has wonderful views of the sea and to see the sunrise is magical. It is well equipped and the welcome card sets out all the information required regarding the apartment.

For the second year in a row, we had a lovely holiday at the Middle Sea. The flat is located a short walk from the beach and the town centre and is a good base camp if you prefer to travel around the area, or a great place to stay and relax while enjoying the wonderful views. Swanage is a great town with a great beach and lots of really good pubs aRead morend restaurants, with Corfe Castle, the Swanage Railway and places like Poole and Bournemouth all easily accessible.

We had really pleasant break with excellent views from the the flat. However although neither of us is disabled, I do feel a bit more information on access (stairs only), and the proximity of the bedroom walls to the sides of the bed, which would limit access for anyone with ambulatory problems should be available on your web site.
