The property was absolutely perfect for what we wanted, with the added bonus of a parking space as we didn't use the car the whole time we were there! Would definitely be back again

Love this place - a little tiny bit bohemian / shabby chic - suited us perfectly! Sofa needs updating but other than that the location made up for this small inconvenience.

Swanage
Perfect situation for a flat, so close to the town and beach. Flat was clean and tidy and had all necessary equipment and some extra resources eg games and books. Bedrooms very very comfortabke and it was a bright and airy flat. Didnt use the TV but dont think that gave much choice and one of sofas needs replacing really. However I would stay again as location, ease and brightness of the flat superseeded anything else.

Excellent location
The property is lovely and well equipped. There is a steep staircase with narrow depth stairs to the flat, which were manageable, but not ideal. There are handrails on both sides though. Great view of the station, dog friendly and close to town centre and beach. Only criticisms are lots of Nik naked which collect dust, cutlery drawer could do with a clean and a clothes horse would be useful. However beds were comfortable, lots of seating and great views. Parking space great and roomy. Would stay again.

Nice accommodation in perfect position to see what we wanted to see
The flat was a good standards. Owner always kept in touch and responded to some issues we had. Only downside was noise from residents above as early as 6:30 in the morning. Not anything the owner could help with. Perfect position for the coast, nice restaurants nearby, lovely close proximity of the steam railway for a trip to Corfe Castle. We also walked a lot taking in Harry’s Rocks, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove. Good price for this accommodation. Would stay here again

Lovely location
A lovely quirky two bedroom flat in a great location. Plenty of equipment and facilities although looks tired in places and could do with some updating. In particular the sofa facing the TV definitely needs replacing, as do the curtains in the front bedroom. I’m not sure if the storage heaters work as there are radiators as well but they need some attention. The main point though is the stairs which are steep with a narrow tread which should be mentioned in the description as they were difficult for all of us. However, for its location, parking and amenities I would stay again.

Location was everything
The house is very tall..3 floors and the apartment is on the second floor. The location is opposite the train station, that was a massive plus as we enjoyed watching the steam trains. It's literally a 5+10 minute walk to either the town or the beach. I can't over emphasize the beauty of the location. The garden is well kept and contained. The stairs are steep but that is in keeping with the age of the property, we didn't find it a problem but best to be aware. The apartment was indeed very roomy and light and airy, it didn't feel like the normal rental, it was really just like a home. Both bedrooms were roomy, one at the front and one ensuite at the back. If you need the bathroom at night,best to use the back room. The kitchen was well equipped and all in all it was a pleasure to stay here.. if we return to Swanage, we'll be back!

first time in swanage
the apartment was situated perfectly, very spacious and fairly comfy. unfortunately i believe the cleaners who are employed are letting this property down. considering the present situation with covid i assume we would be going into a very clean apartment, this was not. sticky surfaces all throughout, the on suite shower is blocked and the tray filled up quickly,when it eventually drained it left behind hair and other scum. happily we had another bathroom. really need to sort the en suite shower and also the cleaners.

Zeer centraal gelegen appartement. Fijne ruimtes. Tweepersoons bed is smal de andere zeer royaal. Schoonmaak kosten zijn zeer hoog maar de inventaris is vies. Fijne voorkamer en eetkamer. Tegenover de supermarkt.

our Swanage stay
We have stayed in a number of different properties in Swange and this flat was definitely well located. It is a large flat with lovely views of the station and it was well equipped. The parking space was very useful too. We had an issue with the boiler which the owner helped to rectify. The only negative was the bed in the master bedroom at the back was very uncomfortable. There is a sofa bed in the lounge but this was uncomfortable too. The beds in the front bedroom were very comfortable though. Generally could do with updating but a nice flat in a great location.

Great location overlooking the steam railway station and ideal for a visit to the Isle of Purbeck. Accommodation and facilities perfectly adequate but ‘tired’ and indeed in places somewhat grubby!
