Immerse yourselves in the natural beauty of the Isle of Purbeck when you stay at this loft-style hideaway in Swanage. Sleeping two guests, the welcoming, one-bedroom, studio apartment is just 350 metres from the beach and about 1 mile from the centre of the Dorset seaside town. Pick up the South West Coast Path from here and head out for long walks across nearby, spectacular Ballard Down.

Let yourselves into your apartment, which is next to the owner’s home but enjoys its privacy, via your own gate and then front door. From the lobby, climb up the narrow stairs to discover airy accommodation, which has been creatively designed to offer you ample space and comfort. Exposed brick and woodwork add character and there is a Juliet balcony offering a glimpse of the sea. Relax on the sofa together in front of the TV, take three steps up to the kitchen area to prepare romantic meals in and dine together at the table. Have a hot bath in the bathroom then enjoy a good night’s sleep in the double bed, which nestles in a cosy position within the eaves but does have some restricted head height and a floor level beam next to it. Have breakfast out in the warmth of the courtyard during the summer and keep your bikes out here too. There is parking for one car with the apartment.

Spend time in Swanage, pottering in the shops and finding places to eat out. Enjoy swimming from the town’s beach, where you can also go water-skiing and wind surfing. Walk 1.5 miles out to Peveril Point for stunning views out along the coastline. Make trips out into the countryside of the Isle of Purbeck, spending time at Ballard Down, 1 mile away, or Durlston Country Park, 2 miles away.

A really stylish and beautifully planned apartment situated handily for the north beach and a 10 minute walk to the centre of Swanage. It is beautifully clean, carefully furnished and ideal for an individual or couple. The entrance stairway is quite narrow and cornered, so may not suit anyone with significant mobility or lifting issues (luggage etcRead more). Hide

Lovely clean & cosy property which was very well equipped.Great location for days out in the car and just a few minutes walk to the beach and town centre. Nothing was too much trouble and they were great, when i contacted the owners Alison & Haydn for a little help and guidance. We would definitely return back there one day.

Although this place is an annexe on the side of the owners property dont let that put you off. The location is in a very quiet Cul de Sac a 5 min walk to the beach and the town. Its beautiful, very clean and well equipped . The owners are very nice people and happy chat and give advice on places to eat and visit. Corfe Castle is amazing and the walRead morek to Harry's Rock is hilly but worth the time. The Black Swan serves great food at a great price but you will need to book . We will stay again. Hide
