This property is positioned above a local café overlooking Swanage Bay – a lovely sandy beach suitable for paddling, swimming and boating. Enjoy this traditional seaside resort with its ‘Punch and Judy’ shows, amusements and Victorian pier. A dive centre, variety of small interesting shops, restaurants and public houses are all a short walk away. Swanage is also renowned for its steam railway which links this seaside town to the picturesque and historic village of Corfe Castle. For walkers and cyclists, adjacent to the cottage is a coastal path where guests can walk along the promenade and over Ballard Down into Studland with its sand dunes and miles of sandy beach. The walk westwards leads to Durleston and extends onwards along a fabulous stretch of Purbeck coastline passing close to several traditional villages. Worth Matravers provides a pleasant place to stop with a traditional public house and its local Purbeck ciders.

A gated flight of steps leads up to the property with the light and airy accommodation being on two floors. Entering the first floor there is a kitchen with an electric hob and cooker, microwave and refrigerator with small freezer compartment, as well as a pleasant dining area. The large living area extends across the full width of the property boasting large windows which can be opened back to benefit from the sights and sounds of the sea just outside. This room is furnished with a comfortable sofa, chairs, TV/DVD. On this floor there is also a pleasant bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC. Stairs lead up to three attractive bedrooms.

We had the most wonderful week in this absolutely fantastic property. The flat was lovely and clean, homely and child friendly. Very well equipped with everything we needed. The lounge and bedrooms have beautiful views across the bay. Central to beach and shops. Absolutely delightful.

This is our 12th year at Seascape and the flat has improved over the years. The few disadvantages - only one toilet, the steep steps up to the flat, limited parking, are all more than made up for by the wonderful view. I always feel at home here. Two minutes walk from one of the finest fish and chip shops in the country.

Fantastic property in Central location, yards from the beautiful beach, shops restaurants, pubs. Exactly as described. Parking for 1 small vehicle only as highlighted in the description.

This is a comfortable flat in an ideal location for the beach and the town with wonderful views across Swanage Bay. The entrance to the property is fairly unpreposessing, being close to the dustbins and the back of the kitchen of Brook Tea Rooms.

This apartment is in a prime location with superb views of the sea and access to the beach. A flight of external stone steps may present a challenge for some. At times it can be very noisy when people sit outside at night and talk loudly. The double glazed windows can counter-act this.

The cottage is perfect for the beach and the town. Well equipped and comfortable. The parking could be tricky for a large car as you have to squeeze past a bollard. A lovely restful week was had.

The location is fantastic, very close to all shops and restaurants. The lovely staff of the tea rooms below are very friendly and helpful. The views from the property are stunning, fantastic to just sit and watch the sea and the world go by. However some slight negative points. If you have a larger car the parking space is a bit tricky and tight. IRead moref you leave the window open in the rear bedroom your greeted by the smell of cooking from the tea rooms, and the emptying of the bins is very lou. Hide
