A great place to stay. Very comfortable, and well equipped.. Wonderful views. We enjoyed our stay. If you had a large car, I think you would find the car ports a bit tight.

Location was perfect, views over the bay & Pier was beautiful. The property is over 3 floors by the time I got to the top first time it wasnt the steps that made me breathless it was the view, the pictures dont do this home the justice it deserves. It was a perfect pre Christmas hide away. My other half enjoyed sketching the view & I loved cooking Read moreup a storm in the kitchen, we finished most nights at the dining table playing the games on the games shelf we had a great laugh & made many memories. The town has lots open even in November & if you have kids the Polar Express & the Christmas lights turn on was a lovely end to the holiday. We took a day trip to Corfe Castle & we went on the bus & the ride was great value some lovely shops & a couple of Art workshops if you wanted to buy from some very talented local artists. On Friday we went to the local market & Saturday the Chocolate Shop & the Art market in the beach huts. We had a lovely time & the owners check in with us on arrival by text which was appreciated.

Fantastic property, the top floor is simply breath taking I could happily spend a week just taking in the view! Location excellent the short walk into town is enjoyable and having visited Swanage for many years it is great to be in a quieter area with parking.

Fabulous views over Swanage Bay and a wonderful location on the quieter side of town. Great to have access to the waterfront via the Haven gate. One thing to note is that the allocated car parking spaces are quite tight, especially if you have a wide or long car.

This is a great place. The views are brilliant, with clear views right across the bay. The complex where the apartment is situated is away from the town centre so very quiet. The apartment is situated right next to the coastal path and walks on both sides of the bay are excellent. Swanage and this apartment are well worth a visit.
