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.

Really nice little flat very in an ideal location in the centre of swanage. Quite noisy at night due to the pubs either side and from other flats but didnt impact negatively on the stay. Had a washing machine but no dryer so can only wash or rinse a small amount and hope for sunny enough weather to dry things out.

The flats location is perfect for staying Swanage, right in the middle of town. We parked on the road behind the flat with no issues. There are 45 stairs up to the top floor so beware!! For what we paid, off season, it was good value for money. However if we had paid more I would question this, the flat is a little tired around the edges and could Read moredo with a lick of paint. It is well equipped with basic requirements for a week away. Hide

The Crows Nest has everything you need, its very light and airy, plus a magical view of the sunrise over the sea, from the smaller bedroom. Also a south facing small balcony. Its a perfect little flat in a perfect little seaside town. Thanks for lending it??.
