Lovely and clean, centrally located for all amenities. The place is excellent for younger people, can't fault it. It wasn't too good for us because we are nearly 80 and had a number of steps to negotiate and my wife was suffering from sciatica. Don't let that put you off coming here though if we were younger we would jump at the chance to return.

Lovely apartment in the centre of Swanage, everything was great, however we did struggle with the lack of fans. There was one industrial size fan in the living room but was too loud to have on when sleeping, and the tall fan barely blew out any air. Other than that a lovely little flat for the weekend, parking was easy to arrange with the hotel and the walk was very short.

Our second visit here. So convenient for shops, beach, and bus station. Had a bit of difficulty loading when leaving, as no space to stop. The apartment has every facility with many extras.
