The flat was great for the two of us. Getting the key from the key safe was really easy (meaning we could arrive whenever after the check-in time/change our plans etc), there was a helpful pack of info on the flat and surrounding area. We did some basic cooking and that was fine. There was not a microwave (not really the space) but was not an issue as managed to cook what we wanted easily enough. The flat was clean and tidy, the TV and DAB radio were good and TV had built-in DVD player that we used a couple of times in evening. Having own marked parking space was handy (right next to front door), although some skill needed to make sure you avoid the step drop, but once parked up we did not need to move the car as everything in Swanage was within walking distance. Some great views out along Swanage bay and towards the town.

Excellent base for a visit to Purbeck. Ten minutes walk to town,only five to the beach. Good pubs and restaurants, the local, The Crow's Nest, is very friendly with good food. Make sure to take a train trip to Corfe Castle.

Jeff's flat was a wonderful find for a lovely stay in Swanage. Ideally located, it was well equipped for either a short stay or longer break. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Jeff's apartment is in an ideal location, a couple of minutes walk from the beach and 10 mins into town. It's ideally located on the Dorset coast between Bournemouth and Weymouth and right on the eastmost end of the Jurassic coastline. We spent a day in West Bay where Broadchurch was filmed and is was a pleasant drive to get there, took about an hour and 15 mins along lovely country roads with fantastic views. Would recommend this location to anyone, Jeff's apartment was small but more than adequate and we had a lovely time. Philip&Cheryl

Such a lovely getaway for a few nights. Perfect size for two people, with everything we needed in the location we wanted. So easy to get in touch with any queries, we can't wait to come back! Thank you Jeff

Perfect for 2 people, well equipped and perfectly clean!

We chose Jeffs place as it seemed really good value for money considering how close we were to the sea and we were not disappointed! We came with a small baby and it was the perfect size for us three. It is on the top floor up several flight of stairs but we didn't think that was an issue as we just left the Pram in the car (there is a parking space right outside). I would say the flat is small but perfectly formed! And it was really nice just being able to walk out to the seafront and along to town centre. Enjoyed our stay a lot. Thank you!

Great little place just a couple of hundred metres from the beach. Would stay again!

Located in a quiet residential area overlooking Swanage Bay & just a short ten minutes walk to Swanage centre. The annexe is comfortable & equipped with everything you may need for a short stay. Louise the owner is more than helpful & made sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. A perfect base for exploring the area.

Great to find somewhere where we could stay with our dogs. Near to great walks and within walking distance of town. People who don't like dogs don't need to worry as Louise uses separate bedding for people without dogs! Lovely, good value, accommodation. It rained heavily during our visit but it was very cosy in the room so we didn't mind too much. The coast walk is amazing and easy to get to. We especially liked the home-made marmalade! Thanks for a great stay, and we hope to come back.

I had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at Louise’s annexe. Warm greetings, all features mentioned in the listing, lots of thoughtful touches, brilliant communication, plenty of parking and an easy walk to the beach/steam railway. Neighbourhood was lovely, with stunning views. There’s a beautiful walk up the hill behind the property. I went for a relaxing break and that’s exactly what I had. I would recommend, and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Louise!

Louise was a great host and the directions that she provides in the listing are perfect! We were dependent on wifi for our trip, so we relied on the directions that she gave. We had no problem at all! Swanage is a cute little town and is an easy walk from the place. The listing is exactly as described. We enjoyed our mornings and late evenings in the garden area too! We would recommend staying here and would definitely come back!

Fantastic little place, perfect for our trip. The place was clean, homely, bright, private, and very well looked after (and well decorated!). Louise was lovely, the perfect host. Highly recommended!

We had a great time at luises place. It has everything you need, you can have breakfast on the little terrace and the view is wonderful. Would stay here again anytime

Exactly as described hence top rating in all categories :)

Beautifully appointed and furnished bijou accommodation with lots of thoughtful extras. Easy parking with lovely views. Everywhere was immaculately clean and it felt very peaceful. Very deceptive from the outside.

This was a beautiful place to stay - our only complaint was that the join where the beds were pushed together was very solid and not comfortable to lie on. No good when you're wanting to cuddle up to watch a film! Direct route to town with the hill back helping to burn off the feeling of overindulgence at one of the delicious chippies. We were sad not to meet our hosts, perhaps another time.

We were welcomed by Louise who gave us a tour of the flat. All clean, cosy and warm, with a good choice of breakfast food. Very quiet location, ideal for walking into town (if you don't mind a hill!) and easy access to Durlston country park and castle. We'd love to come back in warmer weather, and are more than happy to recommend.

My sister and her boyfriend stayed here, they said it was lovely, very cute and cosy and they very much enjoyed their stay. Would definitely recommend.

Everything nice, clean and comfortable. Very pleasant. I recommend a stay.

Made to feel very welcome and were well briefed on every thing we needed. Absolutely lovely flat and the most stunning views

The view over Swanage Bay. The accommodation was cosy and welcoming with a good sized double bedroom with white washed stone walls and ceiling beams, nice bed linen and plenty of storage for clothes. Nice large bathroom with bath and electric shower over bath. Cosy kitchen which had everything we needed. The table was well furnished with goodies. Nice selection of jams and some fresh bread. Good selection of cereals. A large fridge with milk, soya milk, spreads and fruit juices. It was the extra attention to detail especially with regard to breakfast foods that made us feel special. Generous hosts... even leaving us a Christmas card and a Chococo (locally made) chocolate Christmas tree as a gift on our arrival. Very nice : )

We had a lovely time staying in Jeremy & Louise's studio flat. The flat has all one needs for a short stay & is beautifully presented & clean. Jeremy was very helpful & made us feel right at home. We hope to return to the studio flat in the summer !

We had such an amazing stay - we didn't want to leave. The apartment is beautifully decorated and has all the facilities you need. The location is perfect and the views were just lovely. Jeremy and Louise went above and beyond all of our expectations and were even kind enough to put decorations up for my partners 30th birthday. We can't wait to come and stay again and will recommend to everyone we know. Thank you both so much.

Wonderful location near to the beach. Although compact it was very comfortable and clean. Our breakfast was left in the fridge as requested and the supplies were very generous. In good weather you could sit outside and be in a small and pretty garden. Website is accurate and photos also.

Second time staying here and will definitely be a third . Very polite and friendly host . Beautiful place with everything you'll need . Great location . Thank you once again Hamish

We stayed here for 2 nights in early July. Situated in the quiet part of Swanage, it is really close to the beach & a nice walk along the promenade into the town centre - 10-15 mins. Hamish is an excellent host who provides a great vegetarian breakfast too. The accommodation was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed ... including broadband. We would love to return again someday.

Great little diamond of a place in a great location. Loved our stay

This place was lovely! The location was (URL HIDDEN) was only a short walk from town and just two minutes down to the beach! (A less busy part which was perfect!) Hamish was great, he cooked a lovely vegi breakfast and kindly let us keep our car parked there after we checked out. We would definitely recommend this place, and will stay again if we come back to Swanage! Thanks for a great stay :)

Beautiful lodge in the garden, spotlessly clean and a couple minutes walk to the beach. Plentiful supplies of organic and vegetarian breakfast.

Great location, so close to the sea and a short walk into town. Absolutely fantastic breakfast left in the room to self cater. Very accommodating of food intolerances. Overall great stay

Extremely comfortable and clean little studio apartment very conveniently located to the lovely beach and town of Swanage. Hamish was extremely hospitable and his breakfast was delicious! Would highly recommend.

We've just got back from a lovely long weekend staying at The Ridge in Swanage. Val contacted me with really clear information prior to our arrival and the card and welcome bottle of wine when we arrived were a really nice touch. The apartment is tastefully decorated with everything you need. I'm not sure if it was the sea air or the extremely comfortable bed but we slept like logs. The apartment is situated up a steep hill but it helped us work off the fish & chips! We had a great weekend and if we're heading back to Swanage then I will definitely be in contact with Val to book The Ridge. Many thanks. Sara

A beautiful apartment in a fantastic location within very easy walk of the centre of Swanage. Fantastic host with great communication. Thank you!

We just got back from a week staying in Val's apartment and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great base in Swanage. The apartment is very well located to get into town - a 5-10 minute walk downhill - uphill on the way back, of course, but you can meander back through the downs which is scenic and a little less steep! The apartment was well stocked with everything needed - all the kitchen essentials including things like dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid, cleaning supplies, kitchen linens, salt & pepper and oil. The big open plan kitchen/diner/living space was bright and airy and was the perfect room for us to spend time in together. Val also had a nice selection of books to read and DVDs to watch. If walking is your thing, the apartment is really well located to head out onto some of the coastal trails. I highly recommend the walk to Durlston Country Park - such beautiful views!

Great host, great apartment, great week!

Val's place is the most centrally and conveniently located place I have ever stayed. From restaurants to the beach to hiking trails, everything is within walking distance. The apartment itself is very well equipped and extremely spacious and we certainly enjoyed the welcome wine Val sweetly prepared for us. Thank you Val for such a wonderful stay!

Swanage is lovely as is this flat. It is a second floor apartment that worked well for our family of 5. I had forgotten we needed to buy towels, we bought some on the touristy street in the town. The beds were comfortable and the space was light and stylish. The views from the windows are really pretty. Val left a binder with suggestions and information. We enjoyed visiting Corfe Castle (via train), the Model Corfe village, walking to Durlston Castle and back to Swanage, a drive to Durdle Door and a walk downhill to the beach area restaurants. We liked Fish Plaice and Ship Inn. The Greyhound in Corfe was pretty good. Overall this flat is great and I am glad we found it! Oh, off street parking was a plus too!

Great apartment. Ideal for us, 2 teenage boys and our dog. Well located and the walk into town is shorter than it appears. Bit of hike back up the hill, no problem for us but something to be aware of. Real home from home and The Ridge was a great base for our annual trip to Swanage. Communication with Val excellent throughout the process. Thoroughly recommended.

Great flat and great location. really had fun in the area. would recommend.

We felt welcome. It was just as it said it was - and more. Rooms were pretty and well thought out.... lovely. Bed was very comfy. Quaint kitchenette area overlooking a well manicured back lawn, flora, and fauna. Thanks for helping us find a place for dinner - on our late first night there. Otherwise, I doubt we would have eaten! And thanks for making the reservations at the Black Swan.... you must go there. Angela and Nick had thought of everything for our stay - including fresh baked bread! Thanks again! Jo & Pete

Angie and Nick were kind, friendly and generous hosts who really made us feel at home and looked after us as if we were friends. They greeted us with tea, cakes, shortbread and even a bottle of wine! The location is great - v close to the centre of town with a nice view, but all also v quiet and peaceful. The guest wing (and indeed the whole house) is tastefully furnished and super comfortable. There was an element of luxury with the nice bed sheets and thick soft White Company towels. The breakfasts were lovely and set us up for the day - a generous selection of breads, jams, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt etc. Thank you Angie and Nick for a wonderful stay. We will always remember Swanage fondly!

We had an absolutely fantastic time away in this idyllic B&B in Swanage. Angie and Nick welcomed us so warmly, with a cup of tea, numerous maps and guides, as well as lots of helpful local recommendations. Their location is perfect for rural and clifftop walks, as well as having easy access to the town. The rooms were very high quality, well looked after and very clean. Thank you Angie and Nick, you thought of every detail, which made our little break very special.

Angie & Nick's place was clean and welcoming. There were lovely thick fluffy towels/robes and we enjoyed having the use of their garden! It was great being able to walk from their home to the sea too! Best wishes Louise & Steve

Angie and Nick were the most lovely hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting - friendly and outgoing from the very first, they were communicative, comforting, and incredibly helpful. They reply promptly to emails, proved to be flexible and on top of things when my plans needed to change unexpectedly, and were just genuinely lovely people - I consider them both good friends. As a young (20yr old) woman travelling on my own, it can be nervewracking going into a strange home, but Angie and Nick both made me feel welcomed and safe - a surrogate family! The house itself is great - the guest quarters are set off from the rest of the house so you feel like you have quite a lot of privacy. The bathroom is great, and access to a minifridge was also super appreciated. Swanage is a gorgeous town - I picked it because I am a keen Enid Blyton fan and student from my childhood, and Blyton based a lot of her stories around the Dorset area! Children from several books spend their "summer hols" in Swanage, and a lot of the coastline and countryside around the place features in the Famous Five novels. I loved the chance to explore and see some of those familiar scenes from my childhood reading in real life; a particular highlight was the easy trip to Corfe to see Corfe Castle (which Blyton based Kirrin Castle on), which was an incredible sight. Angie and Nick provide lots of maps and advice on getting yourself around, and I found it very easy and ideally located. I had such a wonderful trip and stay with Angie and Nick, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. The room and breakfast room were well presented and well stocked with all thing you would need, including various teas. The breakfast set us was great, a help yourself to cereals, muslei, yoghurt, fresh fruit salad, toast and great coffee. Angela and nick went out their way to help us and took us to our dinner reservation in Studland which was ever so kind and helpful . We will be back!

Angie and Nick were lovely hosts and we had a fantastic 5 night stay in Swanage. They made sure we had everything we needed, as well as little touches that make all the difference. Really helpful with recommendations of what to see and do too. It was a beautiful homely place to stay and we would love to visit again!

A really beautiful b&b in a good location. Peaceful, very clean and a lot of thought has gone into what is needed to create a nice break.

We had a wonderful warm welcome from Tara and she was great at keeping in touch and sending information before our visit. A very comfortable and attractive room in a lovely house. Great location too. Very highly recommended.

The location of Tara's flat was perfect. We You stepped out onto the sea front. Tara was friendly and showed us around her flat and went through all the information we needed to know both before we arrived and during our stay. The room was clean and tidy with the bathroom close by. Would definitely use it again!

The host canceled this reservation 40 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A great spot, right on the sea front, a beautiful house and a very warm and friendly host, we were very happy with our stay here.

Tara's house was such a lovely stay. My friend and I had hiked the South West Coast Path the entire day and were quite exhausted. Upon arriving in Swanage at dusk, we were happily surprised with the vibrant night life on the high street, and Tara's house located next to lots of restaurants - with an exquisite view of the sea too. It's right in front of her door! Tara greeted us with a warm welcome, showed us around and recommended a delicious Italian restaurant to replenish our sore bodies. The room was very lovely with a comfortable bed big enough for two. We slept extremely well and were able to slip out by 9am for the rest of our journey (and not before a delicious breakfast at Love Cake - Tara's recommendation!).

This is a GREAT find, awesome location right on the seafront. Could not be in a better position to enjoy Swanage. Room was lovely as was the host. Thanks, I would highly recommend.

Well where do I start? This place was the best! We had such an easy check-in, communication was great and there's the loveliest host (and cat) on Airbnb. I will certainly be returning on my next visit to the south coast of England.

Bei Tara ist es wirklich schön. Obwohl man direkt an der belebten Uferpromenade wohnt ist es trotzdem ruhig. Das Zimmer ist im Keller, sowie alle weiteren Schlafzimmer auch. Dennoch ist es gemütlich. Das Zimmer ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und das Bett ist extrem gemütlich! Tara hat die Gabe, dass man sich sofort willkommen fühlt. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen hier zu übernachten.

Great place, great views and great hosts!

We had a great time at Austin's and Gabrielle's place. They did everything possible to make the the stay as comfortable as possible. The view and the garden directly at the sea made a long lasting impression on us, and we are looking forward to come back sometime.

The weather was excellent and we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay here. The flat is unusual in that it is located above a lovely stretch of sandy beach, has access to coastal paths in both directions and is only a short walk along the seafront from town. All of which we exploited fully. The flat is nicely presented and feels fresh and modern. The outside space has morning sun and views over the bay. Thanks Gabrielle and Austin for sharing!

It was absolutely lovely. The flat was just perfect in every way. The view was brilliant. Soo comfortable. Very well equipped. Lovely neighbour too. We loved all the walks. Great location in Swanage. You really don't need a car. Thank you for letting us use your gorgeous flat.

We found the apartment very comfortable and in a lovely location on top of cliffs above the bay, with lovely sea views from the garden. Austin and Gabrielle provided a very comprehensive guide with information about the apartment and useful information on the surrounding area. If we holiday again at Swanage we would definitely stay at this apartment again.

What a fantastic place to stay, just a short walk to the beach and town of Swanage. Gabrielle and Austin provided very detailed information about the flat and the surrounding area including things to see and do. Check in was very straight forward. The views of the sea from the garden are stunning especially in the evening when the sun is setting. I would recommend the flat for a short stay in Swanage, so much to see and do nearby. Thanks for a great stay would definitely stay here again in the future.

Really lovely area to stay, close to a great pub. Short walk along the front into town where there are all of the amenities you could wish for. Hosts have thought of everything in the flat, even tea in cupboard!

Beautiful cliff top location with direct access to the beach and Swanage promenade. The flat is well appointed with everything you need for your stay.

A sweet apartment, one bed and one sofa-bed, you can find almost everything you need in it, the host is very nice:), everything is perfect, we spend a wonderful time in it. (6 minutes walk to supermarket, 8 minutes walk to the beach. )

Comes with a parking space which is a bonus in that area of Swanage.

A super studio with fantastic outdoor space & an amazing view. Perfect place to chill out, explore Swanage with its quirky shops & use as a base for walking. The flat was clean, beautifully presented & well equipped for a short break. Sally was a thoughtful host, giving advance information & helpful notes on arrival. The town is only a short walk away & I soon got used to the walk back up! Well worth it for the view from the flat, which is every bit as awesome as the photos promised.

Great location and great view from the room. Sally was a lovely host.

Great property in excellent location. Lovely views from the decking. Nicely decorated and furnished room. Everything we needed for a great stay.

Great little place with a beautiful sea view. 2 minute walk to town and beach. Perfect for a weekend getaway!

I had a lovely time here. Everything was great. The location is very convenient, walking distance to beach, swange pier, shops and restaurants. The appartment is lovely too. Clean and comfy and has a lovely balcony with sea view. Would definitely like to come back again.

We stayed at the bunk house with our two sons (2 and 4). The location is great for family days out and we were so pleased with how clean it was on arrival. The family dog Betty is brilliant with children and our boys couldn't wait to wake up to her each morning.

all ok

Cute little place and was perfect for what we needed!

Comfortable studio in good location for Swanage and Corfe castle .Friendly hosts .

We all loved our stay and offered far more than i expected.

Super little place in a wonderful location between Corfe Castle and Swanage. Really nicely laid out, has a big garden with friendly owners dog too. Catering is limited to tea/coffee, toaster and a fridge which is fine but you will need to eat out. Glenn was really friendly, welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend his place and the location for a lovely break

Clean modern place with nice shower room. Hosts are nice welcoming people. Good base location for access to the local attractions/area, Corfe Castle, Studland Bay, Swanage, Lulworth Cove etc.

We had a lovely few days away at The Bunkhouse; it's quaint and just perfect for what we wanted. Our son thoroughly enjoyed watching the trees and leaves sway in the wind and we all had some good sleep! It's a great location for getting about in a car or walking/cycling. Glenn and Fran were super hosts - sociable yet gave us our space. Highly recommended and hopefully we'll be back!

Great little place in a good location. Sally is a great host, the place was clean and tidy and made us feel very welcome. Thanks, would stay again.

Fantastic property you will not be disappointed ! Property is superbly appointed with everything you need for a great family break, storage especially good. The location is what makes the property special, literally a 15 min walk to the beach. Photos do not do the property justice! Will definitely stay again, Thank you for being a great AirBnB host!

Definitely recommended this place. Clean, quiet and ood location for Swanage. Has a big fenced garden attached to the caravan with Wendy house that kids loved. Nice outside decking and outside dining area. Easy to get to the good beaches in area and 30 min drive to Poole. Has pretty good pool on site and kids disco in evening. Very quiet plot. Shops just down the road in the town.

Helen was most helping in getting us settling in. She responded very quickly to enquiries and made us feel most welcome.

Helen was so welcoming right from the point of booking. The flat is in a great location, walking distance to all the key places in Swanage. The flat is cosy and well furnished, a perfect home from home.

Communication with Helen was excellent. What a perfect little bolt-hole. Flat was exactly as described/shown. Very comfy and in perfect location for beach/walking/restaurants. We will be back.

The flat is very cosy and Helen is really helpful. It is right in the town center so very close to any services and the beach. We spent a great time there. However I would rather recommand it for three persons.

We had the most wonderful weekend. From initial communications through to Nick meeting us at the property and even leaving us fresh eggs for breakfast Nick and Helen were perfect hosts. The flat is small but perfectly formed, just ideal for our needs. It was clean and homely, and my two children were delighted with the selection of board games! We were blessed with wonderful weather so we didn't spend to much time actually at the flat but we would have been more then happy to. The property is ideally situated on the high street and is just five minutes walk to pubs, shops and the beach. However the terrace it is on was very quiet and peaceful. I am delighted we have stumbled across this little gem as we adore the local area and have visited many many times before and now we know just where to stay when we do!

A beautiful flat conveniently located in the heart if swanage. Really well equipped with lots of thought going into the small details. The toys and smart TV were great for our little one. Helen was the perfect host. From eggs from her farm on arrival to great local tips on things to do. We highly recommend staying here if you want to enjoy Swanage!

What an amazing li cosy and welcoming flat. We love the location, being so close to the town centre and the flat had everything we needed. Nick met us on our arrival, helped us with parking and even left fresh eggs from the chickens. Very peaceful and comfortable flat which served us very well. Would definitely recommend and be back again.

Perfectly places in the heart of Swanage. Immaculately clean with all facilities you need . Great shower and comfy bed too!

We enjoyed our stay and Kathrine made us very welcome. The bedroom was a little cramped but the rest of the accommodation was well stocked with everything you should need. I would certainly stay again if I returned to the area

We had a lovely welcome from Katherine, we were shown around the annexe told everything we needed to know. There were lots of extra touches, a vase of fresh lavender, soap, shower gel, tea, coffee, sugar & most important milk in the fridge withwas great as we forgot to buy some.

Nikki's house is as described and she is very friendly. Easy access to centre. The room is very bright and have a scenic view, nice bathroom with a powerful shower.

My partner and I stayed here one night for a special occasion. The house was nice, the breakfast was lovely. The location is excellent just a minute from the beach. Swanage is lovely. You could sea the sea from our room, which was excellent, but the room was a little cold even after the heating had been on a while. Nikki changed the checkout time, which meant we had to leave hours earlier than agreed.

Nikki is a kind and generous host. Fantastic location in Swanage, just a couple of minutes walk from a wide choice of excellent pubs and restaurants. Easy to find, easy and free on street parking. Nikki's house is beautiful - clean and tidy, and the two guest rooms beautifully made up. Fresh milk provided and tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Breakfast laid out in the large and beautiful main kitchen the following morning. Really excellent value, delightful stay. Can't recommend highly enough.

Nikki was helpful and friendly, and her house is lovely. She was very accommodating to us travelling with our 16-month old, who loved her cot, her room, exploring the house and especially the blackboard! We had a great stay and will come back.

Nikki was a fantastic host, and suggested some places to go. The room was lovely and Nikki provided tea, coffee and a light breakfast - thank you for making our stay in Swanage special

Nikki was an amazing host! She was very welcoming, accommodating and gave us lots of tips for around swanage. Her house is massive and gorgeous. We had a 10/10 time.

Thanks for a lovely stay

Made to feel very welcome and a very good location
