Overview
Property code: OC-WY521

Escape to this bright apartment in Swanage and take your dog with you to enjoy all the fun of the Dorset coast. This two-bedroom bolthole, which sleeps four guests, is well-positioned for you to make the most of everything the lively town has to offer and for wonderful coastal walks and days on the beach. Have fun together then return to the ground-floor hideaway to savour the sea air out on your patio.

Make your way into the stylish holiday home, with your pup padding behind you, to discover the airy, open-plan living area and appealing, contemporary decor. The lounge/kitchen/diner has a row of windows that bring natural light streaming in and French doors that can be opened right up on warm days. Unwind in front of the Smart TV, prepare meals for your dog and your friends and family in the kitchen area and set the table for delicious meals together. As night falls, bid your pal goodnight then follow the hall down towards the bedroom and bathroom area. Here there are two double bedrooms, both with doors onto the patio and one with an en-suite shower room. There is also a gorgeous family bathroom. Make the most of your outdoor space by dining out here whenever the weather is warm enough. The apartment has parking for one large car or two smaller ones.

Take your dog 500 metres down to Swanage’s Monkey Beach, where he can bound and splash all year round without restriction. Picturesque Studland Bay, 4 miles away, is also dog friendly and is a lovely place to spend the day swimming in the sea or picnicking on the golden sand. If your dog would enjoy walking there, then you can also follow the South West Coast Path for 5 miles from Swanage to reach Studland.

It would have been nice to know that access was via very steep hills which is hard for people with a disability or an age, My wife and i could not walk to the town or the pier. When a repair was completed on our second day we were left keys which did not fit the two gates which was a nuisance. .

A spacious well equipped modern flat with good parking and a pleasant ambiance Cleanliness was generally good but could have benefitted from a deep clean of cooker hood oven etc Close to town but st Hill too steep for us oldies to walk. Parking can be difficult in town short term or you pay

This is the second year at Sunny place. Parking is excellent and it has its own enclosed south west facing patio. Its great also for anyone with mobility issues as all on one level. If there was a down side, its a bit of a walk, if you have mobility issues to the bin store. However overall its a great place to stay.

We had a lovely stay at sunny place, the apartment is well equipped with lovely outside space. We had scones, jam and clotted cream left for us with milk in the fridge when we arrived, which was a lovely touch. We come to Swanage every year and would definitely stay here again

A very new property, decorated very nicely, with comfortable seating, a nice TV and with 2 parking spaces a bonus. Great location, although not for older people who are unable to walk up the hill from the seafront. A bonus to have an outdoor table and chairs. A nice and comfortable, spacious apartment. A few negative points - it would have Read morebeen really nice to have had the welcome pack, as after a long drive on arrival, to have to then go out and buy milk for a cup of tea, when we had expected milk to be there was not ideal. We couldn't believe that in such a new property, the toilet rolls were not fixed to the wall. We have never stayed anywhere before where there was only 1 dishwasher tablet, half a toilet roll in each of the bathrooms - used and handled by the previous people I suspect - and only one bin liner for the main bin, which is not enough when self-catering. When using the oven for the first time, so much smoke came out that it kept setting the smoke alarms off many times and the oven tray was greasy and dirty. A few of the main cooking utensils were also dirty. There did not seem to be a way of fixing the plugs so a bowl of water could be used to shave/wash in (in both bathrooms), so this had to be done under a running tap. The blind fixing/pulley in one of the bedrooms did not work, so the blind had to be put up and down by turning the roll. Hide

Really nice place but please please please sort out the beds. They are so squeaky. Particularly the one without the en-suite. Such a shame it just takes the edge off having a 100% positive experience. Please get new bed bases - could even be a new divan base - mattress is fine. Thanks and please let me know you have read this. Thanks

The main reason for a lower score on comfort was due to the bed. The mattress was uncomfortable and thin and the bed frame is made of steel with steel cross members which made noises every time I moved in the bed. This reason alone would stop me from booking this accommodation again.

Excellent quality property, lovely furnishings and very well equipped. Loved the decor in the sitting room and the local prints in the bedrooms. Great sunny patio courtyard, very safe for the dog as completely fenced in. Given a lower score for comfort because of the beds. The mattress in the en suite was far too thin for a luxury apartment - couldRead more feel the bed frame underneath and has left me with a bad back. the other bed frame squeaked every time my daughter rolled over. This is the only reason we wouldn't book here again as loved it otherwise. I think the blub should emphasise that the apartment is up a steep hill - for anyone unfamiliar with Swanage geography. Minor point - it would have been useful to know there is a cafetiere to save taking ours. Hide

Location and cleanliness were excellent. What lets this flat down are the beds which are incredibly uncomfortable, short, unstable and noisy; cold and unventilated bathrooms; unpredictable hot water and a tap in the en-suite which comes off in your hands. All of these have been reported in the visitor book for the last two years! Also there are no Read moremattress protectors on the beds For this reason the flat does not represent good value for money Hide
