Property code: OC-WY463

This first and second floor apartment has been updated with family holidays in mind. Located in the heart of Swanage and on the edge of the Downs Park, it’s ideally situated with something for everyone right on the doorstep. The sandy beach and town centre is just over 300 metres away, whilst straight opposite the property is a gate leading onto Prince Albert Gardens and Durlston Country Park where you can join the South West Coast Path that takes you along the iconic Jurassic coastline. Swanage itself is a charming Victorian resort and you can have a great day out on the Swanage Railway for a 6-mile journey that takes you through beautiful countryside. Otherwise, why not stroll the pier. The Purbeck Heritage Coast is also nearby, a dramatic stretch of towering cliffs and secluded coves which is perfect for walking, swimming and enjoying the sunshine on finer days.

The apartment is arranged over the first and second floors and every room is an inviting space. Entering the hall on the ground floor, where you can leave your coats, you’ll then make your way up to the first and second floors to find the living spaces and bedrooms. The welcoming sitting room at the front of the apartment is bright and features a period fireplace with electric optiflame 3D inset fire to keep you cosy on winter evenings, and also boasts views of the chalky cliffs out to sea. The room is tastefully decorated with plenty of seating. There’s also a separate and stylish kitchen complete with a breakfast bar and stools as well as a large, more formal dining table for enjoying breakfast before you head out to explore. There’s a hatch here through to the sitting room too so the chef of the group can still join in with the conversation. The apartment also has three cosy and beautifully decorated bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are twins, but one has zip-and-link beds which can be joined together for a super-king-size. The last bedroom has a king-size-bed and all rooms have plenty of space to store your belongings. The three bathrooms are all well presented with showers and WCs, with one also having a bath if you fancy a soak.

Outside, the property also benefits from a small courtyard garden which has a table, benches and chairs for al fresco dining There are also loungers for lazy days in the sunshine. It is accessed by going through a gate at the back of the ground floor flat’s car parking space. There are also collapsible chairs and a tray table in the hall if you fancy taking them over to picnic in the park.

Overall we were quite happy with our stay at Belvedere Lodge - the location was very good and the rooms were definitely adequate; the 3 bathrooms/toilets were also very pleasant.

Perfect home from home and works so well for our family of 3 and also my parents, as they can live mostly on one level and apartment has everything you could want, as well as gorgeous views of the harbour. We can't wait to stay again next year!

Lovely decor and a wonderful location so near the town and beach. Was not as dog friendly as we have had with other cottages so prob should not be advertised as dog friendly but a lovely house and very comfortable bedrooms.

The property description states access to a courtyard and use of a garage however the courtyard access was blocked by the car parking for Flat 1 and use of the garage was blocked by cars parking opposite making it impossible to access the garage. This was very disappointing as parking and outside space were two important requirements for our holidaRead morey Hide
