Swanage Home from Home

Large apartment, cosy, quiet and warm. Great location, close to all the local facilities. En suite in main bedroom. Well decorated with excellent facilities, particularly in the kitchen plus the laundry room wss a real bonus. Clear instructions prior to check in and within the apartment. Great views. We would definitely stay again :)

Not much not to like. A few minor faults found but these didn't detract from our stay. Shower in the en suite bathroom needs attention as water leaked from one if the pipes, but this didn't effect its use. Bins in bathrooms preferred and we would of been happy to empty them prior to check out. Squeaky entrance door to apartment, which we hope didn't annoy the other residents! Allocated parking space was up a steep hill but we are very grateful that parking was available so not an issue for us, plus you can pull up on the road to load and unload luggage prior to parking.

The property was perfectly suited to us as a family of 5. It was a lovely short walk into the town and to the beach. The apartment had everything we needed. The hosts were really helpful and very quick at answering queries.

Comfortable bed and sofas. Good instructions and lovely shower

Beautiful space, plenty of room and a short stroll into Swanage

The only issue we had was the bed in the single room was a bit high for my 81 year old mum but we found a work around for her 😊

The cleanliness and decor. The balcony with the evening sun. The excellent location, including having a parking spot close by (this was very necessary with my elderly mother). Spacious sitting room and the warmth of the property. The lovely view from the hallway.

Beautiful, light and spacious. Excellent location and having a dedicated parking space in the centre of Swanage (by experience), is a luxury. It is up a hill, but you can drop bags off first. The apartment was clean, quiet and has everything you'd need for a great short or long stay holiday! The hosts are great at keeping in touch should you need anything.

The single room can fit an adult, but it's extremely small, so it's probably better for a child or a teen. There was an issue where the double bed slats kept popping out, but the hosts were super helpful and fixed it swiftly.

Very clean apartment with super comfy beds and well-equppied kitchen. Excellent location only a few minutes walk from the shops and beach. Good communication with owners.

It was a shame that when we visited the doors and windows were being painted, which meant noisy builders early in the mornings, lack of privacy as bathrooms had no blinds, no use of the balcony, and reduced security with open windows while paint dried. The third bedroom is a very small boxroom with the bed under the boiler - ok for a child, but a bit of a squeeze for a tall teenager.

Vast amount of space for a Swanage property and no compromise on facilities. Two bathrooms, endless wardrobe/storage space, loads of coat hangers, a safe, fully equipped kitchen, blackout blinds where necessary, mirrors, comfortable beds, lovely balcony for the sunset, all your washing, ironing and cleaning facilities, not even a 5 minute walk into town, designated parking space

Not negatives, but warnings to other people that maybe don’t know Swanage very well and that you have to take the rough with the smooth! The parking space is a bit of a walk up a relatively steep hill at the Purbeck House hotel, however, to get a free designated parking space anywhere in Swanage is an absolute premium wherever it is, especially for an apartment! You can pull into the lay-by on the main road at the hotel opposite the apartment and drop your stuff off anyway which helps. The small single bedroom is exactly that, didn’t affect us as it wasn’t used but it is literally just a bed underneath a boiler. Again, finding space in Swanage is a premium and if it’s a compromise you have to make then it’s do-able. The positives far outweigh any minor negatives
