Dine by the sea in this waterfront apartment in Swanage, which boasts chic interiors and a balcony. Quirky features like porthole windows and striking artwork will ensure a memorable stay with your small family or partner. Explore the town’s traditional seaside attractions and venture further afield into the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to discover the secluded cove and the dramatic Old Harry Rocks.

Enter the two-storey apartment via the hallway and step into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This bright and comfortable space is filled with neutral tones with a splash of colour. The ‘L’-shaped kitchen has a traditional feel with plenty of surface space for cooking a homemade meal. Next to this and set beside a window with sea views is an elegant circular dining table with seating for four. On the other side of the room is a cosy lounge with plush sofas and views of the crashing waves through the balcony doors. Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms with en-suites – a king-size and a twin. Outside, by the water, is a balcony with furniture.

Situated on the southern tip of Swanage Bay, during your stay, you can start your day with a stroll along the coastal path to reach the panoramic views of Peveril Point (0.5 miles). In the opposite direction, you’ll find the 19th-century Swanage Pier (0.5 miles). Continue into the centre of the town and stop at one of the charming local eateries before going for a dip at Swanage Beach (1 mile).

This is the second time we have visited this property and this time we realised that the property is tired and in need of upgrading, mainly the cooker. We looked at 2 other holiday lets on the site whilst we were there and that confirmed our thoughts. On the first evening, the oven, when set on fan mode, made a very loud noise for a long time afterRead more we removed our food. Both Lawrence (handyman) and Frances (owner) responding immediately to our dilemma and we agreed with Frances that we would use the oven without the fan from then on. When we did that, the oven didnt heat up and on that occasion, we ended up taking our food to Frances apartment for reheating in her oven. Frances let us know that she was meeting with Lawrence to sort the problem out and both of them assured us that all was well after tightening a few screws on the fan. We didnt put it to the test until our last night, and there was still a problem.. When we got home, we alerted Frances to this and for the first time she apologised . In addition the tatty bedside white table in the main bedroom could do with a coat of paint and the cobweb in the kitchen area removed Hide

There were a couple of issues with lights not working and connections being unstable. Also I couldnt find a sieve, casserole dishes didnt have matching lids and there was only one saucepan with a lid that fitted. Also would have loved an instruction manual for the microwave. So a bit disappointed in the kitchen area. Pleased with the size of the bRead moreath towels-so often these are just a bit too small! However the position of the accommodation is stunning. I loved waking up to the sound of the sea lapping up under our window and could sit looking across the bay all day long. Heavenly! Hide

Excellent holiday overall with an outstanding location and general set up, but many areas were incredibly dusty. I put some clothes on a shelf in a bedroom wardrobe and when I took them out, they were covered in a layer of dust. There also seemed to be some animal hair in places? Other than that, it was really impressive.

The property is in a fantastic location, the owner is very nice too. The property does need some updating , the furniture in the lounge and the beds are past there best. The double bed mattress despite its topper I way past its life span. A good night sleep is top.of the list....... The location is the best around town

It was the perfect location for us and felt like home from the start. Swanage has all the amenities for a lovely seaside holiday and there was a real community feel in the town. The price was more than we would normally pay, hence the slightly lower score, but for the view, location and homely feel I can see why it is this price during school holRead moreidays. Hide

Overall lovely property in great location. However sofas rather tired and tv far too small for room size. Balcony, outdoor furniture and glass balustrade on arrival plastered with solid seagull poo which I had to clean off in order to use the seats and remove the pungent smell. Would have expected a basic food welcome pack from a property of this cRead morealibre. Hide
