Great location easy walk into town , two parking spaces but very tight to get out of only for a small car . It needs a bit of a up date and some attention to cleaning, but it was discounted so did not mind , we were there in January and we're nice and warm .

Ocean View is a lovely place in a great location. We spent the New Year there and enjoyed every minute. As a family of five, we found the bedrooms very spacious, the kitchen very airy, and reception area very bright. The place is well equipped with everything we needed for a great stay. We booked 4 nights and left wanting to stay longer. Would defiRead morenitely stay there again. Hide

We found the apartment spacious, light, and well-supplied. It is in a great position in Swanage, on the coastal path, and within walking distance of shops and other facilities, whilst being beautifully quiet. There was plenty to do, such as coastal walks, a steam train ride, and a short car-ride away to both Corfe Castle and beautiful Studland Bay Read more- looked after by the National Trust. Swanage is a lovely place. Hide

The apartment is well located and has the bonus of two parking spaces, and has a view across another roof terrace to the sea. Like some other reviews, we found that there were some issues with cleaning and some rooms now need a redecoration. However, this wouldn't deter us from considering this property in the future.

We really loved our stay here. As big fans of the Atlantic coast, we have never spent time on the Jurassic coast. Swanage was great! It was an impromptu last minute booking, which the hosts were happy to accommodate. The location was perfect for my partner and I, our two children and dog. Set up as a second home, there was nothing we wanted for in Read morethe house. We slept wonderfully in range of the coastal sounds. We will definitely be booking to head back in the future. Thank you Ian&Co. Hide

Although we had some issues with the heating and lighting, the apartment was a pleasant place to stay in a fantastic location, ideal for exploring Swanage and Durlston. The living room and bedroom were very comfortable and if it hadn't been November we would have made good use of the balcony area !

This is in a lovely location near to the town centre. There are a lot of stairs which is a pain when the dog wants to go out but there is a handy bit of grass nearby. The double bed was very comfy.
