Dating back to the 1830s, this stylish Georgian property makes a lovely holiday retreat for four guests seeking a relaxing break in the idyllic Dorset coastal resort of Swanage. The apartment sits on the edge of the town, with a wide range of cafes, shops, pubs and restaurants within easy reach. Situated at the southern end of Swanage, the apartment is perfect for exploring The Downs, with Prince Albert Gardens, the Amphitheatre, Peveril Point and Monkey Beach all just a few metres away. Durlston Country Park is about a mile away, or you can take a steam train trip 6 miles west to the historic village of Corfe Castle. Dorset Adventure Park and The Blue Pool are within 11 miles.

A few steps lead up to the entrance to this bright and inviting ground-floor apartment. Inside you will find a spacious lounge with wooden flooring, a delightful window seat and an open fire, along with plenty of seating and a large window offering sea views. The dining area leads through to a beautiful kitchen with an impressive range oven and flagstone floors. There are two cosy and cheerful bedrooms: the king-size room has a lovely feature fireplace and triple sash window, and the twin room can be made up as a super-king-size on request at the time of booking. The apartment also features a relaxing shower room with a step leading up to the shower.

Outside, the front garden provides a lovely spot for a morning coffee and taking in the sea views. The secluded courtyard to the back catches the sun in the afternoon, and makes a charming space for dining alfresco.

We had a very enjoyable week at Conkers despite the weather being wet at the start of the holiday. The location was especially good for our dog with walks on The Downs starting from opposite the front door. The rear courtyard catches the afternoon sun and was a quiet, relaxing place for afternoon tea.

As a family of 4 we would stay again. Great location and nice layout of rooms. Only downside is WiFi needs to be improved.

We were very happy with everything and would highly recommend the cottage. Location was excellent and the cottage was very homely and comfortable. All modern conns with everything you need. 9/10 just lost one mark for key box and door security.
