Beautiful Apartment with a stunning location, hotel in Swanage

Situated in Poole with Sandbanks Beach and Canford Cliffs Beach nearby, Beautiful Apartment with a stunning location features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

I stayed with 5 members of my family. The apartment is in an amazing location just at the beginning of the Sandbanks peninsular. There's a Tesco Extra on the ground floor and bus stops going to Poole and Bournemouth. Having read some of the negative reviews I went armed with cleaning products, bedding and towels. Nothing was needed, the apartment was clean and there were no nasty odours. We met several neighbours in the corridoors and lifts, they were all very freindly. There is the usual wear and tear associated with a rental property and the sofas have seen better days but were covered with throws that were clean. The rooms are quite compact but were manageable for our party (two adults, two 17 year olds and two children). We enjoyed the lovely beaches and visiting Bournemouth and Poole. Bournemouth is a pleasant walk along the promenade/beach if feeling energetic but the bus service is quick and stops very close to the building. The apartment was excellent value for money and we would happily stay there again.

    The location of the property was ok but the front door is located onto a very busy main road so not so good for puppies. The steps up to the garden were not very pleasant and our puppy was too afraid to use them. The interior of the cottage was dated and worn out. The sofa was even ripped open. It was not clean either. Dead spiders, flies, cobwebs and hanging loose wiring not exactly dog friendly or welcoming..
