This is probably one of the best we've stayed in. Sitting and watching the seafront from the living room was spectacular and the whole place was immaculate. I wish I had that interior design eye as well. Beds and bedding lovely, parking and lift so practical and Swanage a gem. Loved it! love

Comfortable flat with a wonderful sea view. We really appreciated the provision of toiletries and condiments. The place we had stayed in before had nothing, not even hand soap! The approach is steep but worth it for the proximity to the town centre and there is a lift if you are out of breath. Flat was well insulated for sound and warmth. We wouldRead more definitely stay again but probably not in March as most of the pubs were not serving food at lunchtime. Hide
