"The apartment is on the second floor of a lovely Victorian villa with other apartments on the ground and first floor."
. Climbing the stairs could be a bit difficult for some older persons. Parking could also be difficult during the peak holiday season. The apartment is comfortable with great views from both lounge and bedroom across Swanage bay. The centre of the town is around the corner with all amenities. Terry the caretaker was very helpful and even carried some of our luggage up to the apartment. An enjoyable and comfortable stay in mid October..

"Had a lovely week in Swanage staying at Bay View."
Always wanted to stay on The Parade and this property did not disappoint, amazing views with the added benefit of a telescope to see even further! Plenty of space, good size rooms, comfortable beds with plenty of pillows and spare bedding. Bathroom recently updated, kitchen could do with a makeover but totally adequate in terms of facilities. Will be booking this property again for next year!

"This property was absolutely awful!"
There was a repulsive smell of urine/ammonia in the which got worse during our stay. Our opinion is a pest control expert needs to visit the property. We had planned to eat in most nights but due to the smell that wasn’t possible. We tried to spend as little time in the property as possible! Also on arrival there was rust in the drinking water which cleared but the residue was in the kettle! We had to buy our own water and a new kettle. We only received £50 compensation and didn’t feel supported by Sykes during our stay either during this awful situation. Our holiday became a depressing experience. We will never use Sykes again.
I was sorry to read Mrs Gunnion's comments about my flat, especially as I had only left it about three hours before she was due to arrive for her holiday. When we left it was spotless and smell-free. As a goodwill gesture I agreed to compensate her for the cost of bottled water. As this is the second year running Mrs Gunnion has stayed in our flat (last year hired through a different agent) and she has complained both times I trust that she will not be holidaying with us again Property Owner

"This apartment is very clean and tidy, the bed being comfortable and is in a wonderful location close to beach and all pubs restaurants takeaways and shops, peaceful at night."
Unfortunately it is in need of a little TLC, the kitchen is very dated and not really conducive to self catering. (Cooker is very old). Terry the caretaker is most helpful and goes out of his way to assist you with any problem. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would use again if visiting this area.

"The apartment was lovely and clean , super views over the sea, we did leave a day early because of the bank holiday traffic, were asked if we wanted stay until the Sunday , but we could not."
Would stay again , Caretaker was a lovely man even helped us get our laugage in . Nothing was to much trouble, we saw him in the town and asked us if everything was ok . A very enjoyable stay, lots to do , and see, even went on a steam train . Great value for money x from Lorraine and Philip Wain x

"The view is simple amazing."
Bed was really comfortable. Everything you need is there and spotlessly clean. Lovely and warm. Excellent communication with the caretaker Terry. Would highly recommend this holiday property as we really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you

"Dated but clean comfy and warm."

"This property exceeded our expectations."
It was warm, cosy and ideally situated to enjoy great views and explore the surrounding area. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. This property suited us very well and we had a great holiday. However, please be mindful that it is on the second floor (so quite a few steps), their is no WiFi and parking was very tricky.

"Ideally situated, bit dated but very clean, well equipped had everything we needed."
Great comfortable bed.

"The property was in a fantastic location."
Parking was included so we didn't need to use our car the whole weekend! The apartment was as described so we were prepared for it to be basic, but it was very nice. Small but had everything you needed for a brilliant break. WiFi would have been an asset but we managed without. The apartment was very clean and adequately equipped. Altogether a great break.

Enjoying stunning views over Swanage Pier in Dorset is Flat 3, a fabulously-positioned, second-floor apartment.
Just a stone's throw away from the beach, a hub of amenities and attractions, and whilst resting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Flat 3 offers a well-equipped base for two guests, looking for a seascape.
Benefit from a designated parking space, before ascending the steps up to the apartment.
Be greeted by the kitchen/diner, offering a homely feel whilst fulfilling your self-catered needs, where you can prepare and enjoy meals together.
The sitting room rests next door, enjoying breath-taking, coastal vistas, where you can unwind with the electric fire to light on cooler evenings.
A king-size bed awaits, where you can catch some rest, before refreshing in the bathroom, housing both a bath and shower over.
On your doorstep you'll find the amenities of Swanage, where you can stock up on the necessities, dine out, stroll along the beachfront, follow the Purbeck Heritage Coast walking trail, or visit the Swanage Pier Trust, before donning your walking boots to traverse the Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve, reaching the renowned vantage point of the Dancing Ledge.
With the Studland and Godlingston Heath National Nature Resferve nearby, hiking and wildlife spotting opportunities are plentiful, whilst those who enjoy the coastal life will relish in the chance to visit Poole, with a bustling quay dotted with waterfront eateries, Upton Lake, Upton Country Park, and much more to experience, before continuing east to reach Bournemouth Pier, attractions, and it's lovely, golden shoreline.
Take to the Dorset coast at Flat 3.

About the location
SWANAGE
Wareham 9.7 miles; Poole 20 miles.
The small, family-friendly seaside resort of Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck and is probably best known for its wonderful, gently shelving golden sands. The little town offers visitors plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and is also well known for its annual jazz festival, which takes place each July. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers, it’s a wonderful place to watch the world pass by. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a picturesque 6-mile journey, chugging through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. Nearby Durlston Country Park offers a lovely day out with spectacular coastal walks, dolphin spotting and wildlife watching, together with comfortable viewing points and a well-stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air. Take the short drive to Studland, which has one of the finest beaches in the country, surrounded by heathland, together with the regular chain ferry, which crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks. This truly is a delightful holiday destination at any time of the year.
