  • "This is a stunning apartment with awesome panoramic views of Swanage Bay and the beach."

    If you are looking for a comfortable and relaxing 5 star space, this is probably the best in the whole of Swanage. This is definitely not just somewhere to stay, it’s a destination all of its own and adds a luxury, contemporary feel to all that is unique, traditional and unspoilt about this wonderful seaside town. We will definitely be back!

  • "Wonderful property and views to die for."

    Listening to ocean as you fall asleep with bifold doors open was the best treat. The owner was very responsive to messages. We all enjoyed the stay. Minor constructive suggestions for tiny improvement, include face clothes with linens, few kitchen towels, and a couple of throw blankets on sofa would have made it lovely, as we wanted to have doors open Listening to the ocean, but quite a chill in evenings, couple of fluffy blankets would have been dreamy. Other than that, proximity to beach was down on sand in 15 seconds, fabulous. Highly recommended and parking had 1 dedicated secured space, and plenty of road parking 1 street over, very easy. Can pull up in front of property to pack and unpack. Lovely gifts locally sourced left for us too. Coffee machine fab and was very well used!

  • "This property was absolutely amazing."

    Not only did it have surely one of the best views in the UK, but the apartment was a fantastic place to stay as well. The three bedrooms are all very generous sizes, two of which have stunning panoramic views over the bay, and one has an ensuite. This made for a very comfortable stay for my family. The main living area was very thoughtfully laid out and appointed, with ample kitchen appliances and utensils provided, plus a bonus coffee machine! This room really makes the most of the view and has a sky light to make the room extremely light and inviting The wrap-around balcony was also a great feature, especially as it connects externally around to the two beachside bedrooms. The property was clean throughout, and fresh bedding and towels were provided. Useful extras were available to make the stay easier, such as soaps, kitchen consumables, a hoover and a clothes dryer. The owner was also extremely helpful and responsive, giving clear instructions on how to enter the property and access the parking space, and also providing additional local area information on request. Overall I cannot fault this stay, and would very happily return to this property in the future! I would definitely recommend this apartment to others, and in fact, I already have. :)

  • "Wanted somewhere special for our Golden Wedding Anniversary and Penthouse Ocean Bay was definitely the right choice."

    The apartment was very clean and comfortable and we had everything we needed. The goodies left for us were very welcome and the view was to die for being right next to the beach. Lots of water sports going on all the time right outside the apartment so plenty to watch while sitting on the balcony. Bus stop to Bournemouth just across road and only 10 minute walk into Swanage centre along sea front so didn't use car for all week we were there. Car parking space ideal.

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.
