Occupying the first and second floors of a handsome period property, this tastefully furnished apartment offers spacious holiday accommodation for up to six human and two canine guests eager to discover the Isle of Purbeck. Sitting close to The Downs, the property lies on the outskirts of the popular Victorian resort of Swanage, within easy reach of the harbour, beach and pier. Offering pretty views over Durlston Country Park and towards the sea, this cosy apartment is perfect for friends and families seeking a relaxing retreat along the idyllic Dorset coast.

Stairs lead up to the first floor and the welcoming lounge which features plenty of seating, a period fireplace with an electric fire, and views of the chalky cliffs. The stylish kitchen is perfect for preparing a range of great family meals and features a handy breakfast bar, a dining table and a serving hatch through to the lounge. Exploring the apartment further you will find three cosy bedrooms decorated in light, fresh, neutral shades: two delightful twins and a cheerful king-size room.

Well, appointed apartment with everything you need for your holiday a real home from home. The location is superb with excellent sea views in the distance. The pier is a five minute walk as is the main town with plenty of local eateries to cater for your needs. We would definitely consider booking this again when were next in the area.

Absolutely brilliant accommodation. Felt very homely and all the furnishings and items in the house are top quality. Yes, there is a bit of a short hill to the house but well worth it for the views of the pier, sea and Old Harry Rocks from the front room and front bedroom. Theres a large hatch connecting the lounge to the kitchen so if you are in tRead morehe kitchen you still feel part of the lounge. Beds were so comfy and the showers were great! Close to everything you need in the town but on a quiet road thats very peaceful. It is on the first and second floor so if youre taking a dog, you will need to go out with them as theres no direct access to outside but across a quiet road youve got immediate access to The Downs which is a popular dog walking area. We did a lot of walking and the Coast Path is a 2 minute walk from the house. Swanage was a welcoming town with nice pubs, cafes and restaurants. Walking the coast path and ridges was stunning. Couldnt find fault with the property and would gladly return! Hide

Lovely cottage, but not suitable for people with mobility issues, lots of stairs. Also not really dog friendly, as cream carpets and no outside space except park opposite.
