Stunning sea views; mid-way between the sea, town and Jurassic coastal walk.

Next to the panoramic sea views, the best thing about this light and spacious apartment is its position. Just a stroll from Swanage town in one direction and the World Heritage coastal walk along the cliffs to fabulous Durlston Castle and Country Park the other way. Perched a little above Swanage, it enjoys all the convenience of the town, the fun and relaxation of the beach and seaside, with the quiet and beauty of the countryside a stone’s throw away.

From the living room, the open plan dining room and kitchen are accessed through double doors. The kitchen is sociable with a dining table seating 4 and views of the sea. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while the twin bedroom is tastefully furnished and benefits from use of the great size family bathroom.

Very spacious apartment with small covered balcony mostly in the shade. Lovely views over the bay. At the top of steep hill but it is walkable to the town. 2nd floor apartment but has lift. Enjoyed our stay in Swanage and surrounding area. A beautiful part of the UK and amazing history.

A nice well equipped apartment with a lovely balcony and beautiful views of the bay. It is however at the top of a very steep hill and though not too much of a problem to us it would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues and would necessitate using the car. There is a specified parking spot in the car park. Close to bus and train station.Read more Hide

Beautiful flat and great location with excellent views. Generally clean but toilets needed a deep clean. Kitchen well stocked and a good size. The lift was very handy for getting suitcases up to the flat. Very quiet location. Sofas and chairs comfy and well positioned but the mattresses are well overdue being replaced and meant we all had backache Read moreand slept poorly. If the mattresses were replaced we'd definitely stay there again in the future. Hide
