Fabulous views over Swanage Bay and a wonderful location on the quieter side of town. Great to have access to the waterfront via the Haven gate. One thing to note is that the allocated car parking spaces are quite tight, especially if you have a wide or long car.

This is a great place. The views are brilliant, with clear views right across the bay. The complex where the apartment is situated is away from the town centre so very quiet. The apartment is situated right next to the coastal path and walks on both sides of the bay are excellent. Swanage and this apartment are well worth a visit.
