Miss Rock
We loved staying at Flat 4 Penlu, it was well appointed and really clean. The highlight is the view of the bay and cliffs, we enjoyed having breakfast with a view. The flat is a fantastic location, so close to town too. We cant wait to book our next stay here.

Having stayed in the apartment a couple of years ago, my husband and I were hoping that it would be just as lovely as before. Thankfully the property was again spotlessly clean and the furnishings looked just as good as before. Given the fact that I was to be cooking main meals most days, I was appreciative of there being a good selection of utensils and pans. The knives were very sharp too. Although we never sat in the separate seating area, we found it very useful for storing our luggage so giving us more space in the bedroom. Of course, one of the main things that should attract anyone to the property is the view. It was wonderful being able to see the sea and the area closed to Old Harry rocks from the dining area - a much better view than you would get from most of the local eateries! The apartment would be in a great location for those holidaymakers who prefer to eat out though, as it was a short walk from the centre of town, where there was a good selection of restaurants, pubs and bars - the pier, beach and shops too. What's not to like about Flat 4 Penlu?!

Flat provides excellent holiday accommodation and is good value for the money paid. The flat is situated up an slightly steep road which takes a ten minute steady stroll from the bottom of the hill (town), completely doable for folks like us in our seventies, a real bonus is the lift to all apartments. Lovely views over Swanage Bay.
