Waters Edge A Great Place to BE

We were really impressed with the location. Amazing views and coastal walking and many other attractions on your doorstep. Only got into a car once apart from travelling there and back because everything is on your doorstep. Local restaurants were great, fish and chip shop around the corner. What more could you want when visiting the seaside! Excellent, would recommend Waters Edge and certainly consider a re-visit. Host very engaging and informative. Mr. and Mrs. Brodier and family.

We absolutely loved the property! It was beautiful and had amazing panoramic views of the bay

We had a really wonderful week at Water's Edge! The location was perfect; right by the sea and in the centre of Swanage, so it was very close to all the local facilities and was also very near to the beautiful harbour area. The property was really lovely with a large lounge which included a window seat, with amazing panoramic view all around the bay. We were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco, dorset ginger biscuits and other refreshments, which was a lovely touch. The property accommodated 5 people as well as our dog! The downstairs bathroom was amazing with a beautiful bath and shower room, and there was also an upstairs toilet and shower room too. We were very impressed with the property and Claire the owner, was very helpful and responded immediately to any queries we had when we first arrived. Thank you for a truly wonderful holiday! I would fully recommend this property.

Beautiful spot & very central to everything in Swanage. Lovely property

Perfect location looking out over Swanage Bay right on the sea front. My husband had recently had a knee operation so couldn’t walk far so it was ideal. We did have one day when workmen were working a couple of doors away & he parked a large van straight across the front window & we couldn’t see a thing. We asked him to move it but he didn’t. It was there from 9am-5pm. All in all a lovely stay though. Claire was always very helpful. Thanks .

We have stayed here previously, still a great location !!

Would definitely recommend this apartment. Good facilities and location for people watching or watching the waves, Good walks, we didn't use the car for the week that we were there. The parking is at the back of the property, which is ideal when the waves are rough, as it saves the car from the sea salt. Local restaurants / pubs are very good, would recommend the Black Swan, Square & Compass, and the Crows Nest. The only point of improvement is the bedding could be thicker.
