Property code: OC-WY417

A fun, family-friendly seaside resort on the edge of the Isle of Purbeck, Swanage is home to an iconic Victorian pier and a sweeping bay where gently sloping, golden sands are lapped by clear water. There’s plenty to entertain all ages here, alongside a town centre that will satisfy every type of shopper and souvenir-hunter, while the surrounding countryside has lots to discover too – no visit would be complete without a trip through the countryside to Corfe Castle, 5.5 miles away. The natural beauty of Lulworth Cove, famous for its panoramic views, unique geology and crystal-clear waters, is 17 miles along the coast, while in the other direction Studland Bay (3.5 miles) is another much-loved beauty spot with, at its southern end, one of the most famous landmarks on the South Coast: the chalk stack known as Old Harry Rocks.

Located within a quiet residential building close to the town and beach, this first-floor apartment is reached via a lift or narrow spiral staircase from the ground floor entrance area. Once inside, you’ll find a stylish lounge/dining room with contemporary, comfortable seating and a bay window with views toward the sea. The kitchen has all you’d expect for a fuss-free stay, including a dishwasher and coffee maker for home-from-home convenience. Two bedrooms offer peace and versatility. In one, there’s a king-size bed and en-suite shower room, while the other has zip-and-link twin beds that could convert to another king-size bed if required – just let us know when you book! A tiled family bathroom completes the layout.

There’s no garden here but the beach is less than 350 metres away and the well-tended Prince Albert Gardens with their open-air amphitheatre are close by too.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 twin zip-and-link (can be arranged as a king-size on request)
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC, 1 en-suite shower room with WC
  • Oven, hob, fridge freezer, coffee maker, dishwasher, washing machine
  • Welcome pack
  • Highchair and travel cot
  • TV/DVD, radio
  • Private parking for 1 car
  • Shop, pub and beach 350 metres
  • Please bring your own beach towels
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00
  • Sorry, no dogs allowed

This is probably one of the best we've stayed in. Sitting and watching the seafront from the living room was spectacular and the whole place was immaculate. I wish I had that interior design eye as well. Beds and bedding lovely, parking and lift so practical and Swanage a gem. Loved it! love

Comfortable flat with a wonderful sea view. We really appreciated the provision of toiletries and condiments. The place we had stayed in before had nothing, not even hand soap! The approach is steep but worth it for the proximity to the town centre and there is a lift if you are out of breath. Flat was well insulated for sound and warmth. We wouldRead more definitely stay again but probably not in March as most of the pubs were not serving food at lunchtime. Hide
