This coastal apartment enjoys fabulous sea views and is just half a mile from Swanage’s vibrant town centre. The property sleeps four guests, and makes a great base for small families and couples seeking a traditional seaside getaway. As well as the plethora of picturesque beaches to explore nearby, you’ll also have spectacular walking opportunities along the South West Coast Path and the famous Jurassic Coast.

The spacious apartment is flooded with natural light, thanks to large windows and patio doors framing the gorgeous coastal views. A large lounge provides the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure, with comfortable sofas arranged around a Smart TV. On a summer’s day, throw open the doors to the balcony to let the sea breeze flow through the apartment. The separate kitchen/diner is bright and cheery, with everything needed for a self-catering break, and a table to seat everyone. When day turns to night, two tastefully decorated bedrooms await, a king-size room with an en-suite shower room, and a cosy twin. Completing the inside and serving the apartment is a well-appointed bathroom. Outside, enjoy a morning coffee on the covered balcony, admiring the far-reaching sea views. You’ll also have access to a pretty, shared courtyard garden to the rear of the property.

Swanage is bursting with traditional seaside charm. Enjoy an ice cream on the promenade, eat delicious fish and chips on the sandy beach, or hire a beach hut for the day for the full holiday experience. Alternatively, hop on the steam train to majestically chug through the countryside to admire the stunning views of Corfe Castle. Just outside the town is Durlston Country Park (1 mile), where you’ll find breathtaking clifftop walks, jaw-dropping picnic spots, and a fascinating array of coastal wildlife.

Beautiful flat and great location with excellent views. Generally clean but toilets needed a deep clean. Kitchen well stocked and a good size. The lift was very handy for getting suitcases up to the flat. Very quiet location. Sofas and chairs comfy and well positioned but the mattresses are well overdue being replaced and meant we all had backache Read moreand slept poorly. If the mattresses were replaced we'd definitely stay there again in the future. Hide
