A lovely stay in a perfect location in the town. The hill is a bit steep back up from the centre, but the location was close enough for easy access to shops and restaurants but far enough away for it to be quiet and peaceful. The flat was lovely and warm and had all the facilities needed for a short break. Really appreciated the late checkout to maRead moreke the most of our last day. Hide

The flat is very nice and comfortable with outstanding views out to sea. It is within easy walking distance of Swanage. The parking can be challenging as the space allocated for No.6 is rather tight. Otherwise everything was excellent.

A very comfortable flat with lovely views. A steep climb up from the town centre. The car parking space is very tight and probably unuseable for a large car. I would recommend to a friend with these reservations.

Lovely flat with beautiful view of Ballard Down and the sea. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds. Bucket and spade provided. Do not arrive in a big car or you might not fit in the parking space.

A very clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment. The view was just as advertised in the information. The town, beach and restaurants were a short walk from the apartment, but down a steep hill. The location was perfect for visiting the local sites of interest. A truly enjoyable stay at Penlu.

Lovely apartment. Amazing views. Has everything you need for a holiday. We did struggle with the parking space, we have a small car and were unable to turn it around in the carpark when all the spaces were full, so we had to either drive in and reverse out down the drive onto the road or reverse up the drive which was quite challenging!
