Step back in time with a stay in Swanage, an idyllic Isle of Purbeck seaside resort steeped in nostalgia. The iconic Victorian pier here offers fantastic views of the sweeping bay and town, while close by, there’s a tempting range of restaurants, bars and shops selling traditional seaside treats. Swanage is known for its unique micro-climate so visitors walk the South West Coast Path here all year round; if you prefer to rest your legs, you could enjoy a steam train ride through the countryside to Corfe Castle, 5.5 miles away. Natural beauty abounds on Purbeck, and Lulworth Cove – famous for its panoramic views, unique geology and crystal-clear waters – is just 17 miles away. Closer to home, Swanage’s Prince Albert Gardens is a beautifully landscaped public garden with an open-air amphitheatre.
This light and airy apartment is in an elevated position and offers panoramic sea views. Although it’s on the first floor, the rear car park is raised so the route from here to the building is level, and access to the apartment is stair-free. To the front of the property, there’s a traditionally styled kitchen/diner with plenty of space to cook and enjoy meals, while the sunny lounge next door has sea views and a choice of comfortable seating. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout makes this an ideal holiday base for two couples or a small group of friends: one bedroom has a double bed and an en-suite shower room, the other has twin beds, and there’s a modern family bathroom to complete the convenience.
Open up the fully-glazed doors to the front of the lounge and you can step onto a balcony with lovely views of Swanage Pier and the sea beyond.
