A very enjoyable and relaxing few days in this well equipped and bijou apartment situated in the centre of town. Close to the restaurants and bars. Lots to explore in the area and we will definitely return
The flat couldn't have been any more central. It had everything you needed, we will definitely be going back.

a beautiful little apartment in the centre of Swanage.
a beautiful little apartment in the centre of Swanage. Although on the third floor, there are lifts and you are rewarded with a birds eye view over the rooftops of Swanage. The apartment contains just about everything you could need - I even managed to cook a CHristmas dinner in the galley kitchen.
The owners did everything they could to make our Christmas stay enjoyable - they decorated the rooms and left a lovely Christmas gift. The apartment is nicely decorated and homely, with touches such as throws for the sofa, game and shamppo and shower gel in the bathroom.
Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely time here.
Had a lovely time here. Compact, and right on the money for a short break. Worthy of note, that it is advisable to book in advance, if one intends to eat out locally. What is really meant, is that most places either open on particular days only, or are only open until 8-30 pm. No reflection on the accommodation though and would return in a heartbeat.

Lovely apartment would definitely stay there again if visiting Swanage. Very close to bus which we used all week to get around. Our car never left carpark. It was fun using bus and not having to drive and look for somewhere to park. Everything you needed was close at hand.

We had a brilliant time using Sandcastles as a base for exploring the local area.
We had a brilliant time using Sandcastles as a base for exploring the local area. It was perfectly suited to this and in addition the very central location made spending evenings in the town and by the water incredible convenient. Swanage itself has a lot to offer in terms of eating out and being within 150 yards of several restaurants and pubs was a real plus. Also whilst the town was bustling during the day and in the early evening it was always possible to have a quiet coffee by the water in the mornings. A fact we took advantage of most days. The apartment itself was very clean and comfortable. It was also very user friendly and the hosts have provided clear instructions too. The apartment is a lovely place to stay in a beautiful and interesting part of the world.
