Description

Perched in a lovely location in Swanage, Dorset in amongst the picturesque surroundings of the Dorset AONB, find this wonderful duplex apartment, take the lift or the stairs and approach The Penthouse.

Benefitting from an open-plan living space, close proximity to the local amenities and a roof terrace where you can soak up the coastal views, The Penthouse welcomes five guests, ideal for a family or group of friends seeking to explore this lovely corner of Dorset.

Enter your new home-from-home to be impressed by a spacious open-plan living area where you can listen to the DAB Radio with integrated soundbar subwoofer, the well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area where you can socialise, plan your itinerary and cook up delicious meals.

Get to grips with the appliances before settling down to tuck in, either at the dining table or out on your very own private balcony, an idyllic spot for breathing in the sea air and admiring far-reaching views.

On cooler evenings, cosy up in front of the TV to delight in a movie marathon or catch up on your favourite shows, prior to indulging a warm bath or shower in the family bathroom.

When sleep calls, choose between a double with TV and en-suite shower room, or a family room with double and a single to rest your head in.

In the morning, head to Swanage Bay to relax upon the shores, getting lost in a good book, absorbing the sun’s rays or paddling the waters before refuelling with some traditional fish and chips; alternatively, choose from a variety of pubs, restaurants and cafes nearby to treat your loved ones.

From here you can also spend the morning along Swanage Pier, at Townsend Nature Reserve or Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve, splendid destinations that truly showcase the uninterrupted beauty of the Dorset AONB.

Well-positioned to spend the day in Bournemouth, home to Bournemouth Pier, Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum, Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre and Bournemouth Beach, there is certainly something for everyone.

With the popular towns of Wareham, Poole and Weymouth within accessible reach by car, you’ll have plenty to see and do.

Book a stay at The Penthouse for all of this and more.

10 The Penthouse is the perfect holiday apartment. Attractive, modern and beautifully appointed, it has parking and a lift. Spacious and warm, with very comfortable beds, quality contents and everything required for an enjoyable stay, the roof terrace is a real bonus, with far reaching rooftop views to the downs and the sea. One tip - if a windy night is forecast, secure the top terrace chairs so they don't wake you by blowing around overhead during the night! We would certainly return, and will recommend to family and friends.

An immaculate, well-equipped, extremely comfortable apartment with 2 balconies & a stunning roof terrace.

It was so lovely & comfortable we spent more time inside, than out & about, because we found it totally relaxing. As others have said, it's at the quieter end of Swanage. However, it's a mainly level walk into town & you can comfortably stroll it in 15 minutes. There are plenty of eateries & places to have a drink & they are open throughout the whole day. Wonderful! Regular self-caterers to Devon & Cornwall (not Dorset) will understand. It's one of the nicest places we've visited with regular bus services to Poole, Weymouth & Bournemouth. Just one small point - the lift. It has buttons numbered 0 to 4. The floor number may be in the arrival instructions but couldn't see it. We pressed 4 a couple of times, thinking Penthouse & top floor, with no response. Did we need a fob to operate? But then tried 1 (5 to 8) & then 2 (9 & 10). Buttons 3 & 4 are redundant. Maybe include floor 2 with key collection details? Other than that minor hiccup, everything else was clearly explained. Parking & key collection were particularly easy - always such a relief.

Lovely apartment,well equipped, at the quieter end of Swanage but close enough to the beaches.

Spectacular views, particularly from the roof terrace. Would love to return.
