Fantastic location - 10 steps and you are at the waters edge! The Friday Market was a real treat. Good bus routes to other destinations (Poole, Corfe Castle) Had a great holiday. Would definitely return.

The apartment is in a perfect location for accessing all amenities. It is on the top floor and so could be a problem if you struggle with stairs. Be aware that the single room is alittle noisy with the early morning barrels being collected from the pub. Other than these things it was perfectly acceptable.

We spent two weeks in Crows Nest and it was fabulous. You need to be fairly fit of course as its on the 4th floor, but once there it has everything you need for a comfortable break, including good quality kitchenware. The only thing I didnt like much was not having room for bedside tables, but hardly a deal breaker. This flat is in a superb positioRead moren and is great value for money. Highly recommend. Hide

A lovely bright flat in an excellent central location. One bedroom has a nice sea view, and is a good place to watch the world go by. Also, bonus points for the entertaining and humorous property notes and wifi password. We didn't have any problem at all with noise from near by pubs.

Great apartment, but there are 4 flights of stairs to get to it and no lift. Be aware of how much stuff you take with you. Amazing location as you are right in the heart of the town. The blue fish and chip shop is fantastic. Parking is easy at the Broad Road Car Park if you need it. Use the app to pay for more than 1 day. A well equiped kitchen.

Lovely warm flat, with a great location just yards from the sea, and across the road from two chip shops!! All the facilities were good, and the beds comfortable. Thanks.

Really enjoyed our stay at Crows Nest. Great location for the town, but still nice and quiet in the flat. The flat was nice and bright and the balcony was great to sit out on.

Lovely apartment. Very comfortable and accommodated 3 adults comfortably. The stairs are definitely a challenge so wouldnt be great for anyone with mobility issues. Just across from the beach and in the heart of a lovely holiday town. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.
