The location was excellent for our purposes and foodstores nearby. The host was friendly and prompt in answering queries before we stayed.However, the apartment is in need of updating and its soft furnishings and carpets need a deep clean. The carpet in the front bedroom is threadbare in patches and the curtain hanging off the rail.

On the plus side rooms are spacious and it’s in a fabulous location.Unfortunately the flat needs updating… thread bare carpet in bedroom, torn and very old curtains. Lots of stains on carpets that are in need of a deep clean. Generally the flat didn’t feel fresh and clean which was very disappointing especially as we were charged 80 for cleaning!

10.0 / 10.0

The flat was in a great location just a few minutes walk from the town with all of the restaurants, pubs and shops. The front of the property overlooks the heritage steam railway. We were four adults staying for 3 nights. The flat is spacious enough for everyone to feel comfortable. As well as two double bedrooms (one en-suite) there are separate kitchen, dining and living rooms. If we were to visit Swanage again we would definitely book this flat.

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.

Had a lovely weekend in beautiful Swanage. This was a great property, ideally located with a parking space included. Plenty of space and thoughtful bits included. Thank you

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

Great apartment and central to everything

10.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

Really lovely flat in a perfect location in the heart of Swanage. Everything you need in this flat it has, beds comfortable and the flat doesn’t feel cramped at all. Parking at the rear is perfect. Highly recommend this flat. Thanks for a lovely stay will definitely be back for a week next time!!!

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.

Comfortable and convenient flat overlooking the steam railway. Well equipped and a great location- easy walk to the sea front and shops. Good living space and 2 comfortable bedrooms. Thanks for letting us stay- hoping to return for the festival next year!

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.

We had a great stay. The flat is just moments from the centre of Swanage & the beach. The flat is bright, spacious and well equipped. It feels very homely and we had a comfortable stay. Some of the furniture could do with an upgrade. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean.

Great location

Great location

The property is perfectly located close to the town and local supermarkets (Co-op & Budgens) short walk to the beach and seafront. We were slightly concerned by the close proximity to the steam train thinking it would be noisy, but this was not the case it was lovely looking out onto the trains. Having the door key in a key safe was a perfect arrangement as all family members were able to come/go independently. The location of this property is excellent, we felt very central. The layout of the property is far more spacious than the photos portray, however the twin room is a distance from the toilet during the night (along a corridor, down steps through the kitchen) which perhaps wouldn’t be ideal for young children or an elderly person. The flat is well kitted out and all appliances are of a good standard. At previous property’s we have appreciated finding bread/milk/butter left for us as a starter pack, this property did not supply this which is a pity as did feel it would be a nice touch particularly as due to cleaning visitors cannot access the flat until after 4pm. However, as I mentioned there is a supermarket close by.

Flat is lovely- exactly as described. Ideal for town centre, beach and railway. Flat was much bigger than expected- we didn’t even use the lounge- there was no need. Steepish, narrow stairs to access it but there are two handrails. Would definitely recommend.

first time in swanage

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.

The apartment is very clean, large, very thing in it that we could have wanted. The location is brilliant, near the railway station and very short walk into town. Very quiet location. Parking behind accommodation. Swanage itself is a great location for a short break, especially for those who enjoy walking in amazing scenery. Highly recommended.
