For a solo traveller or a couple keen to discover Swanage, this sweet apartment offers cosy accommodation in a convenient spot with pubs, shops and restaurants within 500 metres. Spend your days discovering this vibrant seaside resort, enjoying panoramic coastal views from the Victorian pier (500 metres) and enjoying traditional fish and chips dinners. Or pull on those walking boots for scenic wanders along the South West Coast Path, joinable 500 metres away.
You’ll access this homely apartment via a shared entrance and stairs. Inside, a cosy open-plan living space awaits, with comfortable seating and a TV for easy evenings in. This room has glass double doors leading out to the balcony, which presents a lovely spot for relaxing with a hot drink. Sizzle up cooked breakfasts in the well-equipped kitchen, then sit down to meals at the conveniently placed dining table. A steep ladder-style staircase ascends to the mezzanine floor (caution is advised) where you’ll have a snug area nestled in the eaves. Here, there’s a sofa bed (available upon request) and a second TV, creating an ideal nook for film nights after a day of exploration. Back downstairs, the double bedroom, accessible from the hallway, gives access to a roof terrace balcony, offering a serene setting to unwind and reflect on the day's adventures (and plan tomorrow’s).
For a pleasant walk, head out to the headland at Peveril Point (1 mile) or walk north towards glorious Studland Bay (3 miles), a National Trust site with a fantastic 4-mile beach backed by dunes and low cliffs. Golf fans will appreciate the local course 2 miles away, while history buffs won’t want to miss a trip to Corfe Castle (5.5 miles), another National Trust site. You can even board a steam train to get there, for a lovely ride through the stunning scenery of the Dorset Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
