Very comfortable and well appointed apartment, over 2 floors giving you an absolutely wonderful view across the bay. We were lucky enough to be there while the Swanage folk festival was in full swing up and down all the streets, a real treat. We would highly recommend this and would idefinitely try to return at some point. It gets a 10 from us!

A well designed and equipped apartment with probably the best view weve ever had! The parking is tight and the parking cone provided is an absolute necessity. Good to have parking though.
