This stylish apartment in Swanage enjoys magnificent sea views, and is just 350 metres from the town’s sandy beach, shops, and eateries. Sleeping four guests, the property makes a great base for couples and small families seeking a traditional seaside getaway. You’ll be perfectly based for daytrips to the Jurassic Coast’s top beauty spots, including Studland Bay and Corfe Castle (both within 5.5 miles), before returning home for a cosy evening in the snug living space that awaits.

The second-floor apartment is accessed via a lift from the shared entrance. Once inside, discover a spacious, open-plan abode, with contemporary furniture, homely accessories, and local artwork. After slipping off your sandy shoes in the hallway, head through to the lounge/diner, which boasts a striking bay window with sea views. Relax here, after a day at the beach, sharing meals and watching TV. The property has a separate kitchen for whipping up hearty feasts, well-equipped for a self-catered stay, and two charming bedrooms – a king-size room with an en-suiter shower, and a flexible twin room. Completing the inside is a well-appointed family bathroom. Outside, while there’s no private space at the apartment, guests are less than 500 metres from the sandy beach and Albert Gardens, the ideal spots for a tranquil morning stroll.

Swanage’s gorgeous, sandy beach is just 350 metres from the property, the perfect spot for a traditional day out by the sea – swim in the shallows, build sandcastles and discover the amusements. Throughout summer, regular cruises and fishing trips depart from the town, giving you the opportunity to experience this dramatic coastline from the water. Keen walkers will also be in their element, with the South West Coast Path just 300 metres away, and the gorgeous Purbeck Hills also within 10 miles. For more outdoor adventures closer to home, visit Durlston Country Park (1 mile).

A really lovely flat with a gorgeous view. I thoroughly recommend it, as long as you are fit enough to walk up the steep hill from the centre of town.

Great flat! Everything you need for your holiday in a great location. Fish and chips at the bottom of the hill was fantastic. 5 mins walk to the town centre for great shops. Open top bus to Bournemouth was fun! Steam train to Corfe also great!

Excellent location. Very short walk to beach and shops/pubs. Lovely local walks and only a short drive to beautiful attractions along the coast. Flat very clean and comfortable, easily big enough for us (2 adults, 2 children). Definitely recommend!

A beautifully presented flat, very comfortable with lots of local artwork and personal touches that we liked such as diffusers and books and DVDs in the lounge. We loved the view over Swanage bay to Ballard Down from the lounge window. Considering it is 5 minutes from the centre of Swanage the flat was surprisingly quiet. The only downside is thatRead more Taunton Road is a steep hill so this flat is not suitable for anyone who would struggle with that. Hide

A beautiful, quiet and spotlessly clean flat. Very relaxing and enjoyable. The location at the top of a steep hill didnt bother us, we were quite happy with the views! Parking in Swanage is a nightmare but good parking at the flat. Such a beautiful, comfortable apartment.

Although we were prepared for the scaffolding being erected, we didnt expect men outside our bedroom window painting at 8 am, or needing access to our flat during the day to open and close the windows! Otherwise it was all as described. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable.
