Restful retreat
The property was in a great location near to the beach, coastline and town, so ideal for walking. The property was well thought out, set up beautifully and equipped well, so well I cooked my Christmas dinner in the kitchenette. For a single, female traveller I felt safe and secure too, which is very important to me. Ros, the property manager went above and beyond with providing a small Christmas tree and the milk in the fridge on arrival is always appreciated. I would certainly recommend family, friends and work colleagues to this property and look forward to returning again when I can. Thank you so much.

Comfortable
I loved this little studio flat. It was clean, quiet, and modern. There is no cooker but there is a multi use microwave. Very comfortable bed and great sized smart tv. No view from inside the property but go outside and you get to see most of Swanage and the bay. Beautiful scene at night. Just a warning if you do not drive. It is situated at the top of a very steep hill.It was also nice to find a pint of milk in the fridge as I had forgotten to get some!

Studio apartment fine, everything in order, clean and comfortable. Sadly for me, the location was not ideal as I cycle and walk and it was at the top of a steep hill, which I didn’t know until I arrived.

Perfect short stay
Very clean modern apartment, everything we needed available. Short distance to centre & beaches. Quite hilly walk back from centre though, could be difficult for someone with walking difficulties. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

2 night stay in Swanage
The property is finished to a lovely standard and was spotlessly clean in a studio flat arrangement with bed and lounge in open plan layout, large settee and smart TV. There is a small kitchenette area with sink, fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave but no hob/cooker. The bathroom/shower are lovely. Access is to the side of the owners house and parking is on the drive. The hill down to Swanage front is quite steep but easily walked. Overall a great location and lovely property. Thanks for a lovely weekend away.

Beautiful little studio, perfect for our 4 day stay. Amazing views across Swanage bay and close to town, albeit a hilly walk back up. Comfy bed, tasteful seaside decor, large sofa and cute kitchenette. The bistro set and fairy lights outside were a sweet touch. Immaculately clean and well organised with thoughtful touches such as milk in the fridge on arrival. We'd gladly stay here again!
