The apartment was secure and central making it a great location with stunning views of the town, bay and beach. There was even a partial view of the pier from the main bedroom! Offroad parking was certainly an advantage. All the above contributed to a great stay. Thank you Nicki, we would love to return.

Nice Apartment

A shame that the 75 steps/stairs weren't mentioned in on-line listing. My mother is in her late 80's had trouble with the 17 concrete steps to entrance door,then she had to negotiate 40 wooden stairs to the apartment's front door.(the remaining 18 steps were from the parking area).No fire escape fitted. The apartment itself was lovely.The view was lovely.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 May 2025
I am really sorry to hear this caused an issue during your stay, but in all fairness, I strongly encourage guests to thoroughly review the property information when booking, especially if accessibility is a concern. Had you checked the amenities section, you would have found that the listing mentions the presence of stairs. The few wooden steps leading from the car park are a part of the building's unique character and access. As a beautifully refurbished Victorian building, its convenient location, just a short walk from the beach and town, and its original features are often praised, including a few stone steps to the ground level front door. Furthermore, being a penthouse, it offers fantastic sea views as well as views across the bay and Purbeck hills, which I understand you appreciated. Naturally, a penthouse wouldn't be located on the ground level; it's on the second level - not excessively high, but high enough to provide those stunning panoramic views.

Great views from this nicely remodeled apt.

This is a very nicely remodeled and redecorated apt. on the third floor of a historic Victorian house overlooking Swanage. The views looking northward are stunning. The apt. is very clean and modern. We thought the kingsize bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. The kitchen is nicely equipped. Off-street parking was a nice extra. The area is very quiet. The location is very good as you can walk to the water front in only a few minutes.

Great Apartment

Lovely apartment and had everything we needed, was a good location to the beach and the shops. Parking aswell which was good. The view was amazing. Was a few steps when taking your stuff up but you got used to them and we spend most of the time out and about during the day. There is a hill to get up to the apartment but again you got used to it, the only struggle was with full pushchair. We had a 3 year old and he was ok with the steps. I would recommend this apartment to people that are ok with steps and walking. Was a great stay and would stay again.

We are sorry to hear that your personal experience of the Purbeck hills in Swanage was a difficult one but, this is not the view we normally receive. Our customers find the location convenient as only two minutes' walk to the local town and beach plus it is very well situated for the local park. Our customers particularly enjoy the breath taking sea views and those of the Swanage bay. They find their stay a comfortable one in an enjoyable and chic apartment.

Wonderful property, great views, quirky layout and well worth staying at.

The property is wonderful, with brilliant views over Swanage bay from both the main bedroom and from the living room. There’s Lovely old sash windows in the bedrooms and living room, and a quirky layout with the kitchen. The apartment is well equipped with modern TVs, WiFi and the kitchen basics. The second bedroom is a little tight with views out the back of the property, but would be fine for kids. However we didn’t use this during our stay (only two of us). As a few other reviews have mentioned, the stairs are a killer when arriving and leaving if you have a lot of bags, there’s four flights up from the car park, however they’re really not that bad durning the stay and totally worth it for the views. Just don’t forget and leave your phone in the car! Parking is a little tight manoeuvring into the space with a larger car but perfectly doable, also you might struggle with a tall car with a roof box on as we did as it is a fairly low roofed car port. The check in and out process is nice and laid back despite never meeting the landlords. I would definitely recommend to friends and family etc.

Beautiful Apartment with lovely views.

The property stands half way up a hill overlooking the town and the harbour, and has distant views of the cliffs and downlands. It is a bit of a climb if walking up from town, but the views for us, made the climb worthwhile. The layout and comfort of the flat is first class, and having two bathrooms with showers and toilets, a real bonus and time saver in the morning. We cooked and ate all our meals indoors, and found the kitchen well laid out and full of all necessary appliances. The flat is about 7 minute walk to the bus terminus and steam railway. We used the buses everyday to take us to the start of our daily walks, often buying return tickets.The owner of the property was very understanding and helpful, and we fully recommend staying here for comfort, great views and easy access to shops and buses.
