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!
