We had a fabulous stay in this apartment. The location is perfect with convenient parking, a short walk into the town and being right on the beach front. The views are spectacular, we had a couple of wet days but it didn't ruin things for us as we could still enjoy watching the sea from the lovely big windows in the apartment. The apartment was cleRead morean, comfortable and very well equipped. I was very impressed with the kitchen supplies, we had everything we needed and all of a good standard. Hide

The flat is superb in every respect and ideally situated in Swanage. Very clean and well equipped with welcome pack of biscuits, milk and tea ready for us. There is plenty of storage in the rooms and kitchen and enough crockery and cutlery to have a party ! Would love to go back every year and will miss the stunning views.

A beautiful, well proportioned, spotlessly clean and very well equipped property with stunning views! My husband who is wheelchair bound, was able access the building and get around the apartment with no problems at all apart from the fact that the stairs (if needed fire/lift breakdown)) would have caused us personally a problem due to his disabiliRead morety. That said - WE LOVED IT AND HOPE TO RETURN!! The apartment is extremely well situated both for the beach and the town. Loved the information packs Hide

The location is excellent, close to the town but not in it and so is quiet. The view from the main room are wide due to the glass windows all around giving a panoramic bay view, impressive. Balcony areas on both sides afford a choice depending on wind direction and the sun. Although pricey it is an excellent let.

Fabulous location, with the beach, shops, restaurants, buses right on the doorstep. Our first impression was of a beautiful, comfortable apartment, but closer inspection revealed bed linen that did not appear to have been changed, dirty towels not removed, surfaces not dusted and hit-and-miss vacuuming. However Holiday Cottages were exemplary in deRead morealing with these complaints, sending someone out straight away to deal with the issues. Members of staff were very helpful and polite. Hide
