The flat was in an excellent location just minutes from the seafront and a short walk to the town. The flat was clean, well equipped and roomy. The kitchen had everything you could need and well laid it. Great that we had our own parking space made unloading and loading the care easy. Definitely would stay here again

Excellent position in Swanage with a parking space at the back, although a few steps down to path. 2nd bedroom quite small (ok for small kids). Thought quite pricey overall. Quite nice lounge but some areas wanted some TLC

Very good location so close to the sea front and a short walk into town centre. The flat is reasonably well equipped but the furniture in the lounge is a little tired and not very comfortable. The off road parking space is ideal.

This property was in an ideal situation near to the beach and the shops. The beautifully kept and secluded front garden was an asset as you could sit and relax with a cup of tea and because of the high hedge you were in observed .
