The flat was a perfect home away from home. It was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the beach and a variety of restaurants and cafes. We loved the little touches, like the goodies waiting for us upon arrival and the personal note from the owners. The designated parking spot was a bonus when we wanted to explore further afield. a fantastic experience!
The only downside was the tight parking space, which could be challenging for larger cars or nervous drivers. However, this was a minor issue that didn't detract from our overall enjoyment of the flat.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The flat was warm, clean, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The location was ideal, with the beach, shops, pubs, and restaurants all within walking distance. I also appreciated the designated parking spot, which made exploring the surrounding areas easy. The staff was friendly and provided a lovely welcome gift, including cake and milk in the fridge. I had a great experience and would highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and convenient stay.
All good.

Free parking was a great relief, didn't have to waste time searching for a spot. The apartment had a cozy seating area where I could relax and a dishwasher that made me feel like a domestic goddess.
Gee, what a shame I didn't have any negative experiences. Guess I would've preferred struggling with finding parking and washing dishes by hand, just to have something to complain about.

The location of this place was absolutely epic! It was a stone's throw away from the beach, shops, pubs, and restaurants. We loved that there was a designated parking spot for our adventures further afield. And when we entered the apartment, we were blown away by how clean, cozy, and well-furnished it was. The hosts even left us a sweet welcome gift with delicious cake and fresh milk in the fridge. They seriously thought of everything to make our stay super comfortable. Plus, the Wi-Fi was a huge bonus. Definitely coming back and recommending to friends! No pets allowed and no smoking on site.

The apartment at The Compass in Swanage was absolutely cozy and inviting. The bedroom had a great vibe, making me feel right at home. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing me to whip up tasty meals. And the free WiFi throughout the property was a major bonus for someone like me who loves to stay connected.
I personally found the bathroom with a shower a bit cramped, but hey, everyone's preferences are different!

Compass was a wonderful place to stay in! the flat was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located near the beach and various dining options. Jane and Tony, the owners, went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like providing toys and books for our toddler. the well-equipped kitchen and delightful Christmas decorations added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. We would highly recommend Compass to others. Cons: Can't fault the property in any way! 👍.

We definitely got great value for our money with a comfortable, clean, and well-furnished flat near the beach and local amenities. The location was perfect, with shops, pubs, and restaurants just a short walk away. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, even leaving us a delicious cake and milk in the fridge, and their thoughtfulness in providing toys for our toddler was a lovely touch.
Breakfast items could be improved with a bigger dishwasher that is less noisy.
