About this property

Offering a group of four a marvellous base for the explorations of Dorset, the apartment enjoys easy access to the surrounding suburbs with their coastal activities, along with the outdoor havens of the surrounding national parks. A designated parking place greets you on arrival, so you can safely park your vehicle before heading inside this fabulous abode. Step inside to find a light and airy open-plan living space that is bathed in the sun's rays, thanks to the bi-fold doors. Stretch out on the cream corner sofa and switch on the TV to enjoy a movie with all the family. Move across the space to the kitchen, a space fitted with sleek, wooden units and an array of integrated appliances, which the budding chef of the party can enjoy fixing up delicious meals with. Enjoy these meals at the connecting breakfast bar or gather the family around the dining table and savour a sumptuous dinner together. When night falls, rest your head in one of two tastefully furnished double bedrooms, with one enjoying the lovely extras of a TV and an en-suite shower room; ideal for those seeking a little more privacy. A contemporary bathroom is situated close by and offers a separate bath and a walk-in shower, so you can choose to start your day with either a tranquil soak or a refreshing rinse.

Was very well maintained equipped with two bathrooms making our stay even more convenient. All mod cons were in situ and the accommodation was very comfortable and felt like home from home. The street is very quiet and only heard some seagulls all week and a five minute walk from the seafront accessible via a zig - zag path. We would recommend a stay here and would be happy to return in future. Thank you Steve and Julie ;-)

spotlessly clean and tidy. Large screen TV! Two bathrooms, absolutely everything has been considered and provided. The balcony is a real sun trap too. It is the perfect location, close to the beach, shops and takeaways and some excellent restaurants. There is plenty to do, parking is expensive, but the bus service is excellent, close and cheap. There is an electric car charging station close by, we found that handy as it is a fast charge but slightly more expensive. The path to the beach is a stretch in that it is a collection of steep slopes and stairs. Even the slope which is called disabled friendly, is very steep. So although the property is a perfect location, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. Worth the effort as the beach has wonderful miles of sand and perfectly clear water. We can't wait to go back.
