Easter break in Swanage

Thanks for a lovely stay at your property. The property is in a lovely location just outside Swanage, ith handy access to the costal path for walks from your door. The pool and sauna were very much appreciated by us all. My husband and teenage son loved the full size snooker table. The property is a great size, was very clean with access to a huge garden too. We stayed as a family of 4 and would love to return. The owners were very helpful too.

wonderful place to relax and unwind

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this very well maintained, clean apartment, and appreciated use of the private swimming pool and sauna, and huge terrace, looking out on an expansive garden with regular deer visits. It was very quiet, which we were glad of, with lovely walks from the house. We weren't relying on the internet, and so were less bothered by fluctuating signals, and would very happily return.

Fabulous

What a wonderful holiday, the pool was an absolute hit with our grandchildren, so much so that they didn’t want to go anywhere else, gifts on arrival, milk in fridge, such friendly hosts, we loved being so close to Durlstone, too steep and hilly to walk into and back from Swanage, so I would recommend a car unless you are very fit, I would definitely recommend this holiday rental and would love to go back again.

A lovely apartment in a gorgeous area

We enjoyed our stay in Dorset which is such a lovely area to explore. We’ve enjoyed private pool holidays for the last 4 years as it’s just incredible having your own pool, both for children and adults, especially if the British weather isn’t good enough! We had a positive experience here and thank Sue and Steve for a lovely stay and for being so helpful. The only thing we forgot to question was Vrbo’s listing which included a hot tub/whirlpool spa which this property doesn’t have. Other than that everything is listed correctly.

The Most Incredible Holiday

This is just the most amazing property we have ever stayed at and Sue and Steve are just the perfect hosts. The place is so well kept, and has everything you could ever want. It’s also worth mentioning that while the listing on its own shows how much stuff the property has Sue and Steve have added so much more little touches, like the milk ready in the fridge, the chocolate fudge, toiletries and Dorset tea and so much more. All of these things just show how incredible they are as hosts and how they truly care about making your stay an amazing one. This will be a holiday to remember and I just hope we get to go as a family again

A little slice of Purbeck Paradise!

We stayed here for 3 nights during the recent stormy weather and despite this still had a fantastic time. We would highly recommend this property and the pool is amazing and such a rarity to find. The snooker table was entertaining also! Sue and Steve left some milk, fruit, biscuits, bubbly and chocolate/fudge for us and it was such a nice touch and gratefully received. The property was extremely clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very comfy. We wouldn’t hesitate in staying here again! Thank-you to Sue and Steve for allowing us to stay in your beautiful apartment.

Wonderful Place and Location

We absolutely adored our week in this apartment. The location is amazing for accessing the best of what Dorset has to offer. The pool, sauna and snooker table are rare and lovely facilities to have. The place was absolutely spotless upon arrival and Sue and Steve are extremely lovely and always on hand if needed. From watching the deer potter across the garden to listening to the owls at night, it really is a wonderful place to stay.

Fantastic Stay

From the moment we arrived, the house looked super, well kept garden, very clean outside, and greeted by the owner Sue, who showed us around, nothing was too much trouble. We came and went using the side door which led into a double bedroom, along with bunkbeds, ideal for a family, the room was bright and airy, plenty of hanging space with a large wardrobe off to the side of the bedroom, next to the bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. when walking into the lounge there is an enormous snooker table, great fun having a go, then there is a sunroom with a colour television, plenty to watch, although we found the settee a little uncomfortable and would have loved a tv in the bedroom, we tried our laptop to watch but the signal wasn't to be, I think it would benefit a booster downstairs for the Wi-Fi, as the owner lives upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped, I did buy a non stick frying pan while I was there and donated, as the one which was in the house, had seen better days, and breakfast had to be peeled off the bottom of the pan, but didn't detract in any way to our super stay. The swimming pool was lovely, and it was amazing to see the wildlife while in the pool, we saw squirrels, deer came down but quickly ran away, it was lovely to see them though, there are two shower rooms on the poolside along with a sauna, this holiday home is a hidden gem, plenty to see and do in the area. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Wonderful Time

I’d like to say what a fantastic time we had. The swimming pool was a huge plus and both our goals spent 3 hours every day in the pool… The snooker table was great too. The property was very clean and it was so convenient that the essentials had been left for when we arrived, especially the milk and tea bags. Sue is a really kind person and nothing was too much trouble.. We would highly recommend and will certainly be back again in the near future. Thanks for everything!!

We had a lovely week at the apartment. The photos don't really do it justice! Everything we needed as a family was there as the property was very well equipped. Kids absolutely loved the pool and the large garden. We also ventured out during our stay and made a few trips to the local shops and beach. We also went on coastal walks nearby, explored Durlston Castle and went on a short cruise to Poole Harbour. Many thanks to Sue and Steve for being such gracious and considerate hosts and for helping to make our stay so enjoyable.

Perfect!

Many thanks to Sue & Steve who made us very welcome in their holiday apartment. We particularly loved the swimming pool, the beautiful garden with resident fox cubs and deer, and the locality for walking. It’s a fabulous area to visit - beaches, coastal paths, wildlife (we saw our first skylarks), and not too far from Abbotsbury if you want to visit the Swannery. All in all, highly recommended.

Just right for mixed weather.

Purbeck Cliffs is a lovely ground floor apartment with access to a large garden close to some wonderful scenery. It's very well-equipped - even bathrobes and slippers (not mentioned in the listing) and pool towels. The pool is huge for a private property, and the sauna good too - brilliant for a wet day (or a sunny one if you open the outside doors). A sporty family (we were just the two of us) would enjoy the games, and the place is dominated by the full-size snooker room. The only real disadvantage: the house is up a long hill from town (and beach), and the local bus is summer-only, so you need to be fit or have transport. Also note that the WiFi signal is a bit weak - and our phones (on different networks) had no signal.

A Dorset Gem

We were really lucky to get a week in this beautiful property at short notice. Really close to some fabulous coastal walks and countryside - you may well see deer and foxes out of the windows. Oh, and an amazing swimming pool complex...the pool really is big! The property is just a short distance from Swanage centre as well. Sue and Steve were great and very helpful hosts.
