Driftaway...

Reviews

The flat was really lovely inside. The warnings of the steep access is valid but as long as you know, its fine. The flat was furnished beautifully and all very comfortable, lots of storage space, warm and cosy with amazing views. Easy walking to Swanage centre and seafront. Good to have a parking space too. We thought we were the only ones in the whole block, it was so quiet. Good communication a nice welcome bottle of wine (and milk and cheese biscuits). Would stay again.

A beautiful apartment in a great location. A fabulous view from the lounge & comfortable beds. A home from home and the wine & cheese biscuits were a lovely welcome surprise

A good value and well appointed flat with a great view over Swanage to Ballard Down and the Bay. Clean and tidy and well maintained. Only 'downside' is the access up from the parking which is an extremely steep narrow ramp with handrails, and two flights of stairs within the block, so unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.

There is a steep path to climb from the car park to the entrance. If you have a big car the parking spaces is quite tight.

Great place to stay. Home from home.

Lovely apartment in great location. Just a short stroll to the town, beach and the shops and a great base for exploring the rest of the surrounding area. The apartment was very clean, had everything we needed and a fantastic view to enjoy with our breakfast or evening meal.

Great flat ,brilliant view. Steep Climb from car park and two flights of stairs.,but worth it .

It is a clean, well situated apartment within easy walking distance of Swanage. We enjoyed our stay at Driftaway and would consider staying again.

We had a very enjoyable stay everything we needed..Lovely view and very comfortable accommodation..Only problem for us as we both have knee and back problems was the slope which we were not expecting to be as steep and then the 2 flights of stairs with suitcases we found very difficult

Lovely flat, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Central location with easy access to busses and steam train.

Excellent apartment and contained everything needed. Perfect location for attending the Steam Gala at the station. Perfect views from the windows, with a view of the sea, hills and trains

We had a lovely stay, thank you. The views from the lounge are stunning and well worth the 2 flights of stairs. We enjoyed looking out at the rooftops, sea, and hills as well as catching glimpses of the steam train. The flat was very well equipped, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Plenty of natural light which made it airy too. Lots of storage in the bedrooms and plenty of hot water. It’s in a handy location for the town and sea too, with walks downhill in a couple of directions taking 10-15 minutes for the able bodied. There is also a convenient Spar shop a few minutes walk away. And a Chinese takeaway even closer. The parking space is certainly useful but a little tight, and as indicated in the description, because the parking is below the flats and all is set on a hill side you do need to walk up quite a steep slope to get to the entrance. This is a public pavement and does benefit from a hand rail. Communication with original cottages was good, with emails and texts giving instructions in good time.

We booked this for 3 nights and the location was ideal for walking into Swanage and all it had to offer. The bottle of wine, milk and biscuits was a nice gesture. All the rooms are quite small but clean and tidy. It's practical and functional but not luxurious so depends what you want and on your budget.

The flat is very comfortable and so clean. It had everything we needed. It is perfectly situated too. Only a short walk into the town. The views were amazing - hadn’t really thought before to be on the 2nd floor, but you can see the steam train and the bay.
