“It's a lovely little flat, quiet, comfortable and so close to the beach.”

We had a very good holiday. No complaints at all.

We had a very good holiday. No complaints at all.

- Mr Evans Nixon, July 2019
“Apartment is in an excellent location for a stroll or to go further afield.”

The chippy was open morning to late evening and was always packed! The apartment was very well equipped and was ideal for our needs. We would have liked a bigger bed but was still very comfortable. It was lovely to have an outside space but the chairs could have done with a cushion. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Mrs Pickering, June 2019
“The location was very convenient, near to local amenities, a welcome food package was waiting for us which was appreciated.”

The apartment was lovely and fresh, nicely decorated with seaside themes all around. The bed was comfy and we slept very well. There was plenty of local leaflets and information which helped us plan our time. The only downside was the small parking space but we knew about that so took our smaller car.

- Ms Nichol, June 2019
“A very nice apartment in an excellent location.”

We will be back.

- Mr Callan, May 2019
“Cannot fault the apartment .”

The personal touches in the apartment meant a lot. Swanage its self is wonderful & the surrounding area. We will certainly be back

- Mr Griffiths, May 2019
“Really enjoyed our stay here.”

Would recommend. Lovely area. Very cosy apartment. Parking was very tight - only negative.

- Ms Sabia, April 2019
“The flat was excellent, well situated and presented.”

The owners had gone the extra mile by providing us with a welcome pack of milk, cake,fruit and biscuits plus high quality and sustainable toiletries and cleaning products. There was a comprehensive list of up to date places to see and and activities in the area which enabled us to fully enjoy the surrounding towns and countryside. Thank you for a great holiday experience.

- Mr Harmer, March 2019
“Having such a comfortable and relaxing space right in the centre of the action - The Swanage Blues Festival - made the festival even more enjoyable.”

The flat was beautiful and (more than) everything you could ever need was supplied.

- Mr Latimer-sayer, February 2019
“Well appointed flat,suitable place to explore the area handy for all amenities.”

- Mr Spencer, February 2019
“Very comfy flat and well resourced.”

Everything worked perfectly and loved the decoration. Looking forward to visiting again.

- Mr James, January 2019
“The apartment was absolutely fantastic, with everything you needed .”

The welcoming treats of cake and fruit etc were a lovely touch. It was just lovely to be able to park the car and not have to worry about it, parking at the seaside is usually limited. Swanage is a lovely town and I would definitely recommend this apartment to my friends and family.

- Mr Courtney, November 2018
“Great little flat!”

The parking would be on the tight side if you have a big car. Convenient for the town and for exploring the Jurassic coast along the South West Coastal Path. Really enjoyed our break and the owners were really helpful. I would recommend a visit!

- Ms Grant, October 2018
“The expected car parking space at the property was A JOKE!”

Room to park our car only if we didn't mind blocking the exit/entrance for all other residents or risking getting our car scraped or worse.Our allotted space was big enough for a moped or 2 bicycles or a Mini at best. Usual palaver with temperature controls on shower & very patchy TV reception...but neither insuperable or terminal ...par for the course in a holiday let! Flat was amazing...so well furnished,well maintained & SUPER location.Shops,pubs,sea/beach/seafront & other amenities all within minutes of leaving the flat.Very hard to find such a lovely location with such welcoming locals. How did Sykes manage to arrange the weather? Despite difficulties with car parking....will almost certainly advise friends to visit.

- Dr Tobin, October 2018
“A beautiful flat.”

The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Tea, cakes and milk were waiting for us when we arrived. Everything looked new as if we were the first visitors. An excellent experience.

- Mr Vinten, October 2018
“Lovely flat close to town and beach, very well appointed.”

We parked the car and didn’t need to use it for the duration of our holiday as Swanage has plenty going on even in October it truly is a great place to visit.

- Mr Hodder, October 2018

About the location

SWANAGE

Wareham 9.7 miles; Poole 20 miles.

The small, family-friendly seaside resort of Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck and is probably best known for its wonderful, gently shelving golden sands. The little town offers visitors plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and is also well known for its annual jazz festival, which takes place each July. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers, it’s a wonderful place to watch the world pass by. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a picturesque 6-mile journey, chugging through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. Nearby Durlston Country Park offers a lovely day out with spectacular coastal walks, dolphin spotting and wildlife watching, together with comfortable viewing points and a well-stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air. Take the short drive to Studland, which has one of the finest beaches in the country, surrounded by heathland, together with the regular chain ferry, which crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks. This truly is a delightful holiday destination at any time of the year.
