Gather your loved ones together for a seaside escape at this charming ground-floor apartment in a peaceful area of Old Swanage. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, this is the perfect accommodation option for small families or groups of friends seeking a conveniently-located, smart apartment to call home while they discover the beauty of the Dorset coast together. Spend happy days strolling along the sandy shores of Studland Bay, then in the evening, come home to host a sociable dinner in the apartment’s stylish dining area.

Step inside and take in the apartment’s warm and welcoming decor, guaranteed to make you feel immediately at home. Take a moment to appreciate the bright and spacious open-plan lounge/dining area before heading to the sleek kitchen to whip up some dinner. Enjoy a sociable meal with your loved ones in the chic dining area while basking in the natural light from the wide window. After dinner, head to the living area to slip onto a sofa, sip a glass of wine and soak up the stunning sea views or lose yourself in a good book. You’ll find two spacious bedrooms to choose from: one double with a lovely view of some historic stone seaside buildings, and one twin with a stunning bay view. The modern shower room is ideal for an invigorating start to the day or a freshen up ahead of a lovely evening out.

Spend a blissful morning strolling along Swanage’s sandy beach (0.5 miles), and when it’s time for lunch, check out the seafood restaurants that offer low-key al fresco seafood dishes. If you’re feeling nostalgic, head to Corfe Castle (6 miles), where you can roam the medieval ruins, climb the battlements for stunning hill views of the village and the surrounding countryside.

This is a very comfortable flat in an excellent location for exploring the Isle of Purbeck and beautiful coastline. Its an easy walk to the beach and town centre, including a wide range of places to eat. We received all the information we needed to find the flat and enjoy our stay. The whole booking process couldn't have been easier.
