9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
A beautiful apartment, very well equipped with a killer view over our beloved Swanage Bay . We also liked the fact that it was so central. We managed to get a parking spot and didn’t move all weekend.
There could have been clearer instructions at some points - the man didn’t work out the entry door trick with the fob. The apartment was clean but for a couple of minor issues - there was a cobweb in the alcove over the ‘electric’ cupboard ; also a stain on one of the pillowcases which was a bit off putting. I would also say the fridge was past its sell by date. It worked but the inside was stained a strange beige colour and the bottom plastic shelf was broken making it difficult to use the salad drawers. If the fridge was mine I would change it. I did try to descale the kettle with vinegar without much success. Overall these minor issues did not detract from our experience.

Good location, spacious room, clean with an ok view of the water.
Parking is not as easy as we believed it would be. Parking in front of the building was next to impossible

Beautifully decorated, well appointed. Spacious for 2 people. Easy access to the town / beach and countryside walks. Comfy (firm mattress with topper) bed, loads of cosy linen. Black out blinds (excellent addition as on street & pub lit road). Small amount of tea/coffee/cleaning equipment available - helped to keep things tidy. Recommendations for food: Salt pig cafe (limited menu of tasty home cooked food - eat in or take-away. Once it's gone it's gone). Red Lion - recent new turkish chef, very tasty food, huge portions (great value - but meant I couldn't eat a pudding LOL!)
Shared entrance spaces smelt damp and looked tired. In the summer it would have been very noisy (the pub is attached to this side of the building. It's seating (accessible without going through the pub so used 'randomly' by the public) are under all the apartment windows. Parking (as stated in ad) is limited with ~8 free spaces for the block which are also available to the public. We had planned around most of this and it didn't put us off - I've added it for info.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
Property was very modern looking and comfortable…Views from the front window were lovely and you could often see swimmers or canoes out on the water..The bed was very nice to sleep in and I loved the quirky little ducks in each room …I would stay again if the property owner addressed some issues
Too much DNA in the bathroom(a lot of hairs from previous guests) I have a bit of OCD so that freaking me out. There was an awful smell coming from the bathroom for least 4 days smelt like rotten cabbages(had to put all the fragrance reeds in the bathroom) massive dust hanging down from one of the radiators and the front window popped out when trying to close it which caused significant pain to an already torn shoulder, I was in agony for 4 days..while the property owner admitted this was dangerous and booking.com did absolutely nothing to address this with the owner..even tho photos have been provided..all it needed was a simple bit of signage to say this can happen by the window to warn people, had I have been a small child or a bit frail then this could have resulted in something a bit more serious…O and one more thing you are asked to strip the beds..empty the bins and leave the place nice and clean and tidy (we always do) so why are you charged a £64 cleaning fee? Bit over dramatic when you’ve done most of the cleaners work!
