About this property
THE COMPASS in Swanage
This first floor flat is located in the lively town of Swanage in Dorset and can sleep two people in one bedroom.
The Compass is a lovely retreat nestled in the heart of Swanage, at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast. It boasts a double bedroom, with a pull-out bed for those travelling with a child, sleeping up to three people in total. There is also a shower room inside, as well as an open-plan living room with a kitchen, dining area and sitting area. To the exterior is a designated dining space giving you the option of eating alfresco style, along with an off-road parking space for one car. The Compass is a homely getaway placed in a wonderful UK holiday destination.
Amenities: Gas heating. Gas oven and hob, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, TV with BT Sports package, WiFi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Off-road parking for one car (Ideal for medium family size cars and SUVs). Designated dining space outside. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Shop and pub 2 mins walk.
Note - The allocated car parking space can be tight for larger cars.
Region: Explore the fossils and stunning beaches of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, visit historic Sherborne and Shaftesbury, or enjoy the footpaths, country lanes and thatched-roof pubs Dorset offers.
Town: Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck. It offers plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a 6-mile journey, chugging through countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle.
