Wake up to wonderful coastal views each morning at this glorious maisonette located right on the seafront in lovely Swanage. You’ll have shops and pubs within a 200-metre radius and be excellently placed for visiting the town’s top attractions, such as the impressive Victorian pier less than 0.5 miles away. The apartment has space for five guests, so is wonderful for a family group or holiday among good friends.

Along with its attractive period facade, the apartment showcases good style inside, too, with its quality furnishings and splashes of colour. On the ground floor, you’ll have a spacious living and dining room with a large corner sofa. This room is bathed in natural light from the expansive windows, which offer spectacular views of Swanage Bay. In the bright, well-equipped galley kitchen, cook up yummy holiday meals to share with your loved ones. The cosy double bedroom is on the first floor, while the twin bedroom is located in the eaves and boasts Velux windows in a vaulted ceiling, ensuring a sunny start to each day.

The sandy beach is less than 100 metres away, so morning walks, sea swims and sunny picnics are easy and convenient. When it’s time to explore the wider area, take a stroll to the nearby headland at Peveril Point (under 1 mile). If you feel like a longer walk, stay on the South West Coast Path to reach scenic natural spots like Dancing Ledge (2.5 miles). For a fun day out, board a steam train (0.5 miles) towards the historic and impressive Corfe Castle (6 miles), where you can step back in time at this popular National Trust site.

The location was very convenient for the beach and town centre shops. Only slight downsides were parking - you have to get expert at tucking in well and turning in small spaces, the stairs - only a problem if you are getting on in age and your family want you to carry all the bags up and down, and the proximity to bars which were a little noisy on Read moreFriday night.

It is so beautifully positioned right on the sea-front with exceptional views, we swam in the sea every day, the beach has just been awarded blue flag beach of the year 2023!

The property is central to facilities that Swanage offers, with uninterrupted views of the bay. The car did not move from the front parking as we used the easily accessed bus service when we travelled out of Swanage. We found that pre-booking for dining out was the norm.

Lovely clean beachfront flat, great to be able to hear and see the sea the whole time. Ideal location right in town. We worried parking outside could be a bit tight specially with a large car, but we managed it fine in the end.

We had an amazing weeks holiday at seagulls view, the apartment had an amazing view out to the sea from large windows that you could open fully or only a slight bit which made it feel very safe with our 2 year old, there was a lovely newly refurbished kitchen which has everything we needed to be able to cook comfortably for the week, the decking arRead moreea out the back is very spacious and also I loved the fact there was child safety gates on the stairs if you wanted them up which really helped.
