Property code: OC-WY632

Tucked away on the top floor of a Grade ll-listed building, this lovingly furnished bolthole is the perfect, romantic spot for couples looking to spend quality time together. Explore all that Dorset has to offer, starting with a trip into Swanage to ride the heritage railway or lose yourself in the sights of bobbing fishing boats from Swanage Pier, just metres from the apartment.

After a day spent exploring the region, there’s no better welcome than the inviting atmosphere of this apartment’s open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Let the breathtaking views across the pier inspire your cooking as you whip up a romantic feast in the well-equipped kitchen, before enjoying your culinary efforts at the dining table, nestled beside the scenic bay window. As the evening draws in, unwind on the comfy sofa and catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, retire to the sumptuous and crisp white linens of the king-size bedroom for a peaceful slumber. Completing the interior is a chic and well-appointed bathroom. Outside, enjoy a scenic stroll around the shared garden on a fine summer's evening and unwind to the sounds of the sea in the distance.

Nestled at the foot of Purbeck Ridge, the charming seaside town of Swanage offers the best windswept walks and sandy shores of Dorset’s World Heritage Coastline. Pick up some of the area's tastiest produce from the town’s range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, before boarding the Swanage Heritage Railway (1 mile); hop off the line at Corfe Castle (6 miles) to discover the iconic royal castle ruins established by William the Conqueror. Keen walkers can join the South West Coast Path and stroll out to Durlston Castle, and Durlston Country Park and Nature Reserve (both within 1 mile).

Great holiday flat with a fantastic view, due to its location. It was very well furnished, with a smart TV and a good kitchen. With views of the sea and the pier, I was never bored. The town had plenty of shops and restaurants as well as sandy beaches. The flat was also just a stones throw away for coastal walks, a ride on the steam train or for buRead mores trips to Bournemouth or Poole. Hide

Absolutely marvellous. Great to sit in the bay window for a meal, whether breakfast, dinner, tea or supper, just watching the various activities of folk over Swanage bay, the old pier or Prince Albert Gardens. It was a dream to leave the car and walk the seafront, to the shops, to a boat trip or on one occasion to an open air theatre across theRead more road in the gardens. Also very close to drive for walks on the Jurassic Coast. Hide
