For a peaceful solo getaway or holiday with your partner, stay at this delightful period apartment in lovely Swanage. It’s in a wonderful spot just 50 metres from the town’s sandy beach and has excellent views over the coast from its multiple windows. A leisurely 0.5-mile walk will take you into the heart of Swanage, where you can explore shops, cafés, restaurants and traditional fish and chips shops. And since Swanage is within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll have plenty of top-notch walking opportunities nearby.
This first-floor abode is decorated in soothing whites, blues and greys for a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. It contains a welcoming open-plan living space featuring a quiet seated area with a TV, and a dining table for enjoying meals together. From here, glass patio doors open out onto the balcony, where you can while away your time eating, people watching and absorbing the breathtaking views. The kitchen area has everything you need to prepare home-cooked meals. You’ll also have access to shared grounds with a garden and shrubs.
You can easily reach the beach via some wooden steps and a path, making it easy to enjoy pre-breakfast dips or strolls before the crowds gather. Wander towards Swanage’s lovely Victorian pier (1 mile) then onwards to Peveril Point (1.5 miles), a headland offering stunning panoramic vistas. For a longer walk, join the South West Coast Path (0.5 miles) and walk north towards Studland Bay (3 miles). This impressive National Trust site features a 4-mile beach backed by low cliffs and dunes – wonderful for serene picnics and afternoon naps on the sand.
