  • A remarkable apartment situated in an enviable position on the clifftops of Swanage
  • Enjoy the beautiful sea views over Swanage Bay from the balcony
  • Located in a family-friendly resort on the Isle of Purbeck, ideal for family holidays
Property code: 83794

A wonderful three-bedroom apartment, offering fantastic views and located close to some of the South Coast's best beaches. A truly great choice for your family getaway.

Elevated above the clifftops of Swanage, this charming apartment is ideal for a family holiday by the sea and is well placed for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, the apartment is just a short stroll from Swanage Bay’s plethora of bars, bistros and eateries and a sandy beach. Wander further afield to take in the impressive sights of Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, all within 18 miles, returning for an al fresco drink on your private balcony.

Climb the internal stairs to the second floor and enter to find your spacious lounge/kitchen/diner. Simple yet stylish with cosy furniture and lots of home comforts, you’ll soon be rustling up a feast in the kitchen and lighting the candles to dine at the table. Step out onto the balcony with your morning coffee, and at bedtime chase away the last dregs of energy with your favourite tipple. There are three bedrooms to choose from, one of which has an en-suite shower room, and the remainder share a generous bathroom. There is allocated parking for one car.

Whether you are tempted by water sports in the sea or a casual wander through the town and across the beach, you’ll find something to suit everyone in this marvellous destination. Cliff-top trails stretch in either direction, so keen walkers will enjoy following the South West Coast Path towards Corfe Castle 12.5 miles east, although it may be best to take the train there and walk back as the route is strenuous. Be sure to look out for porpoises and dolphins too; the resident wildlife is a delight to spot.

Wonderful apartment, very well equipped and clean. The view is spectacular. However, we found the apartment to be extremely cold (December), especially in the bedrooms. The underfloor heating was very slow to respond to the thermostats being turned up and it took over 2 days to get the bedrooms to go above 13/14 degrees. We would thoroughly recommeRead morend this apartment in the spring, summer and autumn but not in the winter. Hide

The apartment was perfect for us in every way - clean, well equipped & beautifully presented. The view from the window though was the icing on the cake. The lift is a big plus after a day out. The location is excellent & a lovely stroll along the front into the town. We loved our stay there & would highly recommend it to everyone.

Lovely view of Swanage Bay from this spacious apartment. Everything you need is in it if you want to stay in. Less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach and possibly 10 minutes to the main pub and restaurant area. There also is a pub that does food only a 2 minute walk away. A car parking space is also supplied. Overall a lovely place to stay

Beautiful views over the bay, lovely and comfortable apartment with everything you could wish for a relaxing holiday. To top it off the location is great, close enough to Swanage but far enough to feel relaxed away from the hustle and bustle - wouldnt hesitate to book again!

This was a gorgeous apartment with stunning views across Swanage bay. Fully equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. Only small thing is that the main bathroom is bath only (no shower). For an apartment with 6 people potentially it would have been better to have an additional (2nd) shower not just the one in the en suite.
