Overview
Property code: IC117

Relax in comfort and take in the mesmerising seascapes from this two-storey property right on the seafront at Swanage. Step straight out and head to the sandy beach or wander the Dorset seaside town’s streets, pondering in shops and pausing in cafes. Up to six guests are welcome to stay at this holiday home, which has three bedrooms and sits above a local cafe.

 

Climb the steps to the front door, at first-floor level, and enter to find yourself in accommodation that is exceptionally bright and airy. Discover the contemporary kitchen/diner, which has an electric hob and cooker, microwave and refrigerator with freezer compartment, and ample space for preparing homecooked meals and dining together. Walk through into the lounge to unwind in the generous, light-filled space and to gaze out at the sea through large windows. Settle on the comfortable seating in here to watch TV or a DVD after an exciting day out in the sea air. Find a bathroom, with a shower over the bath and WC in here too. Follow the stairs up to all three bedrooms: two of these are doubles and one has bunk beds. The bunk bedroom and one double enjoy sea views. Find off-road parking for one car close to the holiday home.

 

Discover an abundance of activities to suit all ages in Swanage and beyond. Take a boat trip, go fishing or simply wander along the pier with an ice cream. Spend the day at National Trust-owned Studland Bay, about 4 miles away, with its extensive beaches. Visit Corfe Castle (6 miles) where the castle ruins overlook the Purbeck Hills, making the journey by steam train if you choose. Go for long walks in Durlston Country Park, attempting a section of the South West Coast Path, with its clifftop views.

Fantastic property in Central location, yards from the beautiful beach, shops restaurants, pubs. Exactly as described. Parking for 1 small vehicle only as highlighted in the description.

This is a comfortable flat in an ideal location for the beach and the town with wonderful views across Swanage Bay.

This apartment is in a prime location with superb views of the sea and access to the beach. A flight of external stone steps may present a challenge for some. At times it can be very noisy when people sit outside at night and talk loudly. The double glazed windows can counter-act this.

Lovely central location, near both the shops and seafront. House was large with comfortable beds and cozy living room, where we felt we could relax. There is no WiFi, so bare that in mind when booking, but some puzzles, books and dvds were provided to keep us entertained.

No Wi-Fi, washing machine, freezer or dishwasher, nowhere to hang towels for six adults. Entry up beside large cafe waste bins and heavy extractor fan smells at back of flat. No thermostatic control on shower in the only bathroom. Just worth putting up with for glorious view. New noisy bar next door in Mowlem only quiet after midnight twice a week.

We have stayed at Seascape many times over the years. It is what it is. Since we were there last the furniture has been upgraded but some items in the kitchen I recognize from ten years ago. It remains a great place to stay. Very close to shops and pubs and a view to die for.

I don't believe there is ever a 'perfect' holiday apartment, however, Seascape was exactly as expected. You get exactly what is described, except the parking space, which is quite difficult to access. However, being a regular visitor and being fore warned I pre-booked parking in Broad Street car park. I guess this might be an area of complaint for Read moresome. Hide
