Swanage is a small, family-friendly coastal village on the Isle of Purbeck, located on Dorset's famous Jurassic Coast. It is perhaps best known for its lovely, gently shelving golden dunes. The small town is home to many stores, fine pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and it is also well-known for its annual jazz festival held in July. If you're in the mood for some fresh air, you can take a stroll or try your hand at fishing from the Victorian-style wooden pier, which is also popular with divers. The ancient Swanage Railway station is located in town, and nostalgic steam engine tours take passengers on a magnificent 6-mile journey through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. To reward yourself for all that exercise, the nearby Durlston Country Park has a well-stocked cafe and scenic coastline walks where you can see dolphins and other animals.
Drive to Studland, which features one of the country's best beaches surrounded by heathland, and take the regular chain ferry that across the mouth of Poole Harbor to Sandbanks. An enjoyable vacation spot any time of year, this is undoubtedly.

.. really we could have stayed in all day and watched the ever changing view. Facilities were v good, beds vv comfortable and kitchen well stocked. The flat does get very warm, but fans are available, the blackout curtains work very well and with the bifold windows open the flat is beautifully airy. Parking is just over the road in a private car park.

As itâs the quiet end of the town, you arenât disturbed by too much noise. Iâd seen on another description that you should be aware of the steep steps up to the door and of the stairs up to the apartment itself. Definitely bear that in mind if you have mobility issues, like me but I was determined to overcome them just for the location. Excellent communication with the owner , who was prompt in responding to a couple of questions. Apartment was super clean, really comfortable beds, would just say dining chairs need updating, sofa could perhaps have a deep clean. Also everyone in our party said the two single chairs werenât comfortable. They could perhaps be put in the bedrooms and a couple of more comfy ones acquired. Other than that there was everything you could need, certainly more than enough crockery and glassware. The welcome pack was much appreciated as was the coffee machine. The parking spot was also very beneficial.

We had a fabulous week, the apartment was gorgeous with breathtaking views over the sea and Swanage. We had everything we needed (the welcome pack when we arrived was very welcome - thank you!) within the apartment and it's position was perfect. It's at the quiet end with access straight onto a lovely beach and Swanage centre is just a 5/10 minute walk away - perfect for us! The 2 main bedrooms looking out to sea were stunning and the 3rd bedroom was lovely too. Our grandaughter had a lovey time as we spent most days on the beach which she loved. Many thanks to our hosts and I would like to thoroughly recommend this apartment. Susan
