Purbeck Hotel Apartments - Flat 6

Wooden beams and exposed stone walls run through the open-plan living space of Flat 6, which holds a kitchen, a dining table and a sitting area. The flat is on the second floor of a Grade II listed building in Swanage, reached by a staircase, and it has one bedroom for two guests. The shower room has a walk-in shower, a basin, a WC and underfloor heating.

Cooking is covered by an electric oven and hob, a microwave, a fridge with a freezer compartment, a kettle and a toaster. The stay comes with a smart TV, WiFi, electric central heating, fuel, power, bed linen and towels, and a travel cot and highchair can be had. Laundry is communal, with a shared washing machine and tumble dryer. Mind your head: headroom is limited in the property.

The nearest shop and pub are 0.1 miles off and the beach is 0.3. Cars go on the roadside, with car parks close by. Smoking is not allowed, two well-behaved pets are welcome and a good-housekeeping bond is payable. The flat can be combined with Flat 5 and a third unit in the building for up to six guests. On its own, Flat 6 suits a couple who want beams and stone walls in town.
