I hesitate to review the property because of all the shortcomings in the housekeeping which rather spoilt our enjoyment if all these minor faults had been addressed, I should have given it a rating of excellent.

Great quality and clean facilities, short walk to Swanage town but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Lovely view of the bay and Pier. Really enjoyed watching the Paddle Steamer Waverly docking at the Pier from the balcony.

Lovely apartment overlooking the pier and waterfront, always something interesting going on. Very comfortable furniture and beds. We (in our seventies) found the circular stairs from the ground to third floor challenging.
