What a lovely flat/apartment in an accessible part of Swanage - away from the hustle and bustle but very walkable. Great hosts and views.
We enjoyed a great week at Alrose Villa, perfect location, just a few minutes walk to the beach and about 10 minutes into town.
The apartment was clean and comfortable with everything you could need. We particularly liked the wrap around balcony and the view of the sea.
Lovely apartment, very clean, handy for beach and town. Love the balcony and it was nice to be welcomed with a bottle of white wine, thank you very much. We really enjoyed our stay. I would just like to suggest one thing, a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries would have been very useful.
Our second stay here. Perfectly situated for easy access to beach, promenade and town. Great to have a free off road parking space. The apartment is perfect for a short stay for a couple.
We only booked for 3 nights, but we had a great time. It's in a great location, with surprisingly lovely views. The location is superb. We liked the wrap-around balcony which is perfect for drinks and snacks. The flat is nicely presented and clean, and has enough facilities for you to stay in for home-cooked meals or to watch TV. The host is pleasant.
Lovely clean apartment, we loved the wrap around balcony, the bed was very comfy and car parking space was a bonus. Ideal location for beach, shops and eateries.
Just perfect!

There was everything in the property we needed , close to sea and town loved it
Only slight issue was the bed wasnt as comfy as we wud hav liked but was ok
We were already scheduled to stay in a bungalow locally but wanted to enjoy the Blues festival and couldn’t extend our stay. This was a fortunate turn of events as otherwise we might not have sampled the delights of this wonderful apartment.
We felt comfy front the first moment we arrived and our only regret was that we had to come home today! We will most definitely look to stay here when we fancy a cheeky weekend away together as it was perfect for that. Nicola deserves great credit for creating a practical but homely place to stay with wonderful views of the beach and town xxx
We had a lovely stay at Nicky’s flat. Perfect location for the beach and town.
Sitting in the balcony and watching the world go by was also lovely.
Nicky was great at getting back to me with any questions.
We shall be back.
We enjoyed our long weekend in Swanage very much. The location was great and the apartment was fine. Kitchen area was small so no dishwasher, but otherwise well equiped.
We had a lovely stay at Alrose Villa. It is a great location for wondering into town and easy access to the routes to Studland and beyond. There was everything you needed for two ( it would be very cosy for three). The whole property was fresh and clean. We will definitely be returning in the future.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The balcony and sea view were fantastic. The apartment was very clean. A little dated in places. I missed not having a freezer compartment in the fridge and I would have liked a dressing table in the bedroom! Other than that I was very happy and comfortable.
Great place, good location, would have been 5star, but the amount of water coming out of the tap in the bathroom sink was
pitiful, and you had to leave the tap running because it was leaking past the waste

A brilliant one bed apartment
I was lucky enough to be the first person to rent this apartment following a complete renovation earlier in 2016. I can thoroughly recommend it and I hope to return for Swanage Carnival next year. It's in a perfect location to arrive, park the car in it's allocated bay, and leave it there for the week - no need for it! Everything is a short walk away - beaches are 5 minutes, town centre and steam railway are 10 minutes, and the end of the pier about 15 minutes - all of it a level, easy stroll by the sea. The apartment has a large living room with comfortable chairs, settee and tv, and a well appointed kitchen plus dining area with all I needed (including some beers already chilling in the fridge). The double bedroom is huge, with built in wardrobes and access to the balcony, and the 3 piece bathroom is compact, with a great power shower. However, the best feature of Alrose villa is the wrap around balcony, which is great for relaxing with a morning coffee or an early evening aperitif, admiring the sea view towards Swanage. I had a great holiday there!
PS Great customer service with Nicky, the contact for this property
PPS The Red Lion is the best pub in Swanage - both for real ales and it's food!
