    A fabulous apartment in a brilliant location - we were able to park outside but then as we didn't use the car for the rest of our stay can't say if it would have been a problem finding a space again. The smart TV took a bit of getting used to but...

A beautiful beach front apartment just across the road from the sea with stunning views over Swanage Bay and the Purbecks . We are above a busy bar and near the club area of town and it can get quite noisy. Please consider this when booking with us. It’s a great fun area to be in!! In the heart of the town centre the apartment has just been completely renovated and has been tastefully equipped with everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Just across the road from the award winning beach, coastal walks cafes, boutique shops, pubs and restaurants, the location is ideal for enjoying Beautiful Swanage seaside.
We got this lovely little apartment in Swanage when we fell in love with the area, its walks, the people and the Purbecks. We love to host and be able to share this experience it others. We have tired to make our apartment as homely and comfortable as possible. We love the local walks, the great friendly vibe in Swanage and the views. We hope you will enjoy them too.
Set slap bang in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Swanage its a fantastic location to make the most of all the restaurants, local pubs, beaches and walks. The coastal walks are just behind the flat making it a perfect location for keen walkers. A short drive to Corfe Castle and The Blue Pool. Many other attractions on the doorstep.
