Beautiful accommodation within walking distance of Swanage.
Hidden charges for pets. Expect to pay £35.00.
Aggressive emails from the cleaner of the property who referred to holidaymakers as "disgusting". Make sure you are middle class if you stay here!

Perfect location, perfect for what we needed. Clean and well thought out
Slippery stairs to the apartment and very slippery decking out back, probably ok when dry but super hazardous when it rains, my Wife fell over out back

All the rooms were fairly large and you could sit in the living room and kitchen.
the small enclosed garden was perfect to let our dog out in the evening and mornings.
Each time we stay it feels like "Home"
I had a little problem with the steps from the road down to the property and the long walk back up the hill from the town.
It is difficult to park close to the property

Spacious, bright, very comfortable, lovely bedrooms well equipped kitchen with communal table with a great outlook and lovely, sunny outdoor terrace. Close to shops, pub and, Chinese takeaway. Nothing to fault really and would definitely recommend/stay again.
A long walk into town or the beach so a car is necessary. Parking a bit hit & miss but most days we managed to park close by ..

Well appointed, nice bedding, towels, well equipped kitchen and tastefully decorated. Good location. Outside area a real plus.
Quite dark and cold in the bedrooms and lounge. Bathroom tended to steam up. Parking was difficult and access down steps was a bit precarious

The Location. The Space. Well appointed. The terrace is wonderful.
The shower could be higher. The bathroom would benefit from a fan/ ventilation system.

The apartment was really comfy and great for our family! We have a 20 month old and despite her being into everything, we found the apartment safe for her. Hannah provided a high chair and travel cot which was really helpful aswell.
The apartment was walking distance into swanage town which was great! The beds were comfy and it all felt clean.
Nothing - it was great!

Excellently equipped. There was nothing we needed that wasn't there. Well, we called Hannah for the dog basket and she got it round to us very quickly. Hot water swift to come through the taps.
Mid-March - the floor, with no carpeting apart from one rug, was very cold. I only had outdoor shoes with me as I usually get around with socks on, but bought some woolly slippers.
At 5'2" I couldn't reach anything on the top shelves in the kitchen. Take a tall person with you.

Liked the central location in Swanage. Liked the spaciousness in the apartment and the outside decking space. Also liked the quiet area. On the whole was well equipped and pleasant.
The approach to the apartment via basement steps was unattractive and a bit dirty (litter from street). Was expecting a sea view from the property description so was disappointed. A portable heater would have been appreciated (for older person) although central heating was adequate. A map of Swanage with walks from the property would have helped. We took away recycling as no facilities for this.

Place had everything we needed.
Wi-Fi wasn’t great, although host tried to install upgrade.
Expensive compared to places we’ve stayed by seafront. Especially considering there’s no allocated parking,

location and space very good, with everything you might need. The lights outside in the garden made our evenings special. Lots of blankets and pillows. Spare travel cot came handy, noticed the games for the kids too and a spare dog bed! Enjoyed the breakfast out in the patio, great view. Great for walking to the town and to nearby restaurants/shops. Easy communication with a host.
A few bits need repairing, neither of the bedroom doors shut, and the loundry bags from the previous guests were left outside the door in a narrow hallway which was a bit if inconvenience - especially for elderly and toddlers. Given it is a basement flat, we couldnt get the pram downstairs, accessibility might need to be stated for families with small children. Also it feels damp (clothes and bedding) but thats expectable. The table in the dining room is a little low, we couldnt fit our legs underneath it, maybe too tall :) One small tip - couldnt find a tin opener, probably went missing with the previous guests?

The accommodation was very good. Nice to have some outside space to sit.We have a black labrador and there was plenty of room for the dog as well as 3 adults.
The parking anywhere near the apartment was very difficult. No on site parking and very limited parking opposite the apartment. This may be easier at other times of the year but we stayed in the 1st week of the school holidays.

Beautifully decorated. Owners had thought of everything.
Very comfortable and great location.
Car parking can be tricky if trying to park in the evening, but not impossible.

Really nice property, clean, tidy and with everything you need. Lovely decked area off the kitchen with amazing views. Great location and the owners seemed to have thought of everything to make our stay a pleasant one. Nice pubs nearby, Chinese opposite and a 10 minute walk to town and the beach. Cannot fault anything.

Could have been cleaner - there were crumbs in fridge and under microwave, dust in corners, on headboard and on very top of storage unit in bedroom. Faint smell of dog. An animal got in bin area and emptied a bag.

The location is great, a short walk from the town centre / beach and near a small convenience store. The flat itself is really good, it has everything you need for a family away from home. We travelled as 2 adults, my 9 year old daughter and we also took our dog, the small garden at the back was enclosed so perfect for us. The kitchen was well equipped with really nice quality cookware / crockery / cutlery etc. The beds and bedding were really comfortable with nice quality linen. Lots of thoughtful small things that make life easier when being away - e.g. blankets / throws available if you wanted to sit outside. Board games & floor cushions etc.
When we arrived on the Friday for a weekend away, the lockbox to get the key out was a bit stiff and I couldn't open it but my partner managed fine. After unloading, we settled in for the evening, but couldn't get the TV to work. I messaged and rang the owner but no response. I had one or 2 text messages on the Saturday about it, essentially asking me to turn it off / on again. I eventually spoke to her husband on the Sat evening about 8pm, asking again to switch it on / off again. Essentially, a TV isn't a deal-breaker but it's incredibly annoying not to be able to speak to someone and to really be treated like someone who doesn't know how to operate a television. I'd be wary of coming here again in case something more important were to break / not work - which is a shame as the flat is lovely. A subsequent set of messages were exchanged about a possible refund of £40, but after 2 weeks it is yet to materialise.

Great little apartment within easy walking distance of the centre of Swanage. Beautiful views out of the back patio doors. Very clean and comfortable. Great communications from the host.
