"Generally really positive."
Spacious, clean, facilities good and perfect location near the sea and town. There wasn't really many negatives, so just to be objective, a dishwasher would have been preferable and the bunk beds were a bit creaky. There was a slight musty smell when we first arrived. I must stress I'm digging deep to find negatives here.

"Wonderful stay, ideal location and flat."
We loved it. It was clean, fresh and lovely towels and welcome biscuits. The kitchen was well equipped and there's a lovely hot shower. Only slight problem was the beds, the single bed mattresses could feel the springs, so much so that one of my sons had to sleep on the sofa. The bunk beds were very creaky and wobbly but seemed safe and made a good alarm clock for when the kids were up and about. Thank you for a lovely stay.

"Lovely clean, roomy property in an excellent location."
The twin beds are very wobbly and have a terrible squeak! Really need looking at as a previous comment mentions that. We would have liked a teapot and milk jug - but that’s just us! We would definitely return

"Perfect location - really short walk to the beach and places to eat, very close to a couple of playgrounds which my children enjoyed."
Lovely spacious accommodation, beautifully clean too. The only downside is that the mattresses really weren't very comfortable, and the bunk beds had an alarming wobble which left us a bit worried!

"It was an excellent property."
When standing in the hallway there were so many doors we had to guess what was what. The source of much amusement. Fabulous spot near the beach one way, to the shops (coop) the other way. Great places to walk the dogs in the vicinity. Would visit again. Looked for the dishwasher and realised it was me!

"Spacious, light, functional flat in a lovely quiet location, 5 minutes to the beach and town."
Could do with curtains on the bedroom windows as opposed to just vertical blinds, furniture needs abit of update and beds better mattresses but parking space a bonus and would return as everything we needed was there and worked.

The property
Sandy Toes is a well-presented ground-floor apartment located in the stunning coastal town of Swanage, along the Jurassic Coast.
With its proximity to the beach, this property is perfect for families and groups of friends seeking a sunny, seaside holiday with a furry companion or two.
Walk into a pleasant living/room where you can curl up on the sofas and watch your favourite show or enjoy a few rounds of card games around the dining table.
In the fully-equipped kitchen you'll find everything you need to cook up a delicious meal to enjoy on the picnic table in the front garden when the sun is shining.
Catch your rest in the soft linens of either a double, twin or bunk room, then wake up the next day, freshen up with a hot shower and get ready to explore Dorset.
In the beautiful town of Swanage you'll be spoilt for choice or eateries, you can opt for some local seafood at Gee Whites Seafood Restaurant, enjoy dinner and some live music at The Ship Inn or have something lighter at the waterside Brook Tea Rooms.
Shopaholics will be happy to find a bustling shopping district where you'll find boutiques selling anything from handmade trinkets and souvenirs, to vintage clothing, to jewellery.
You'll also find a wealth of activities without having to travel too far, head to Santa-Fe Fun Park for an afternoon swirling and looping on fairground rides, hike up to the clifftop Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve and enjoy a picnic while gazing at breathtaking, undisturbed coastal views, and don't forget to put on your bathing suit and check out Swanage Beach.
Drive up to the picturesque, chocolate-box village of Corfe Castle and visit the ruins of the 1000-year-old Corfe Castle, art-lovers will enjoy trips to the Boilerhouse Gallery and The Gallery at 41, and when the sun is particularly scorching, head to Dorset Adventure Park for some refreshing water attractions.
Take the scenic route to Bournemouth and walk through the underwater tunnel at Oceanarium, take a ride on the Ferris wheel at Bournemouth Pier and marvel at views of the town and coast, and end the day by treating your loved ones to some fine dining at The Queens Restaurant.
Sandy Toes is the perfect base for you to explore all that Dorset has to offer.
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.
