    “This is our second stay in the flat and it really is beautiful- we would absolutely stay a 3rd time but there are a few improvements that could be made.”

    The communal hallway on arrival has a really awful mould problem up the wall and partial ceiling which doesn’t start you with the best impression and I think may have contributed to a couple of sewage/ mould smells in the flat. Plug-in diffusers were present to disguise the smell but this should probably be addressed sooner than later. In terms of interior the main sofa also needs to be upgraded in the living room as the padding has dipped in the seating and I would note some of the flooring ...

    The communal hallway on arrival has a really awful mould problem up the wall and partial ceiling which doesn’t start you with the best impression and I think may have contributed to a couple of sewage/ mould smells in the flat. Plug-in diffusers were present to disguise the smell but this should probably be addressed sooner than later. In terms of interior the main sofa also needs to be upgraded in the living room as the padding has dipped in the seating and I would note some of the flooring is coming up around the kitchen/ walkway area so you can catch your feet. Only other thing is we are family with 2 young children and there was no consideration or assistance in terms of travel cots or high chairs which made our packing situation quite tricky. Sykes were actually quite rude on their response to my enquiry for these items which left a bit of a sour taste to be honest- very dismissive and an air of ‘your problem not ours’ although for the duration of our stay were very responsive to other requests made which was appreciated. Only last point would be parking is tricky so a space or a permit of sorts could be helpful for future bookings if at all possible. Just want to stress again the property is wonderful and the points above wouldn’t stop us staying again- appliances great, decor beautiful, great shower, good WiFi, TVs brilliant, super easy check/ out and so quiet whilst also being in a prime location in town but these improvements would be welcomed.

The property

Swanage Bay is a lovely first-floor flat that would be ideal for a family holiday or a gathering of friends.

It is close to the sandy beach, has stylish furnishings, and contemporary conveniences.

Before going up to the first level to settle in, park your car along the roadside.

The open-plan living area is ideal for entertaining, dining, and unwinding at the end of a fun-filled day; it includes a dining table with seating for four, an electric oven, a gas hob, a microwave, a fridge/freezer, two sofas, and a TV.

Enjoy a moment of tranquillity in the bathroom, which includes a walk-in shower, a bath, a sink, and pebble effect walls.

There are two beautifully decorated bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with two twin beds; both have TVs, matching furniture, and brilliant colours.

A swarm of eateries, pubs, and cafes are all within a few metres of the property, along with well-stocked convenience stores where you can fill up on food and goodies.

Swanage Beach, the Isle of Purbeck Golf Club, and Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve are all located in this gorgeous town.

Visit Bournemouth, a vibrant coastal town famed for its award-winning beaches, stunning cliff-lined coastline, and vivid nightlife.

While here, you can stroll down the pier and taste a wide variety of cuisines in different restaurants.

The seaside town of Poole is particularly worthwhile, as there are many options to explore the area's natural beauty thanks to the National Trust's Brownsea Island and Hamworthy Park nearby.

Pick Swanage Bay for truly memorable holiday near the Dorset shore.

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.

Please note: Upon entering the front door, there is one flight of internal stairs up to the flat door.
