The apartment was well furnished, comfortable and clean. The linen and towels were adequate and the cleaning/washing provisions and toilet rolls were well received. The amenities were plentiful and well placed. Check in / Check out was smooth and access to wifi was straight forward with a good signal. The apartment was secure and central making it a great location with stunning views of the town, bay and beach. There was even a partial view of the pier from the main bedroom! Offroad parking was certainly an advantage. All the above contributed to a great stay. Thank you Nicki, we would love to return.

Nice Apartment

A shame that the 75 steps/stairs weren't mentioned in on-line listing. My mother is in her late 80's had trouble with the 17 concrete steps to entrance door,then she had to negotiate 40 wooden stairs to the apartment's front door.(the remaining 18 steps were from the parking area).No fire escape fitted. The apartment itself was lovely.The view was lovely.

Great Apartment

Lovely apartment and had everything we needed, was a good location to the beach and the shops. Parking aswell which was good. The view was amazing. Was a few steps when taking your stuff up but you got used to them and we spend most of the time out and about during the day. There is a hill to get up to the apartment but again you got used to it, the only struggle was with full pushchair. We had a 3 year old and he was ok with the steps. I would recommend this apartment to people that are ok with steps and walking. Was a great stay and would stay again.

No hairdryer and pillows flat and old and no keys for 2 couples.

These faults in my review are a shame as the flat was nice not suitable for elderly people or people with walking difficulties owner should state this as it has very steep hill from town then when you reach the flats there is a hard climb up the stairs to flat 5 at the top Swanage was great as usual great blues festival Tim and Michelle Lloyd

Perfect location

The apartment is in a perfect location of beaches and shops as long as you don't mind a few hills and stairs. I travelled with my husband and 2 children (4 and 7) and we all managed well. The apartment itself is decorated to a high standard and is very clean. Nicki was brilliant with communication and all information was in a handy folder. The view from the living room was wonderful and a great place for that first cup of tea of the day. I hope to stay again soon.

Beautiful Apartment with lovely views.

The property stands half way up a hill overlooking the town and the harbour, and has distant views of the cliffs and downlands. It is a bit of a climb if walking up from town, but the views for us, made the climb worthwhile. The layout and comfort of the flat is first class, and having two bathrooms with showers and toilets, a real bonus and time saver in the morning. We cooked and ate all our meals indoors, and found the kitchen well laid out and full of all necessary appliances. The flat is about 7 minute walk to the bus terminus and steam railway. We used the buses everyday to take us to the start of our daily walks, often buying return tickets.The owner of the property was very understanding and helpful, and we fully recommend staying here for comfort, great views and easy access to shops and buses.
