Guests say
Sunny Place in Swanage is a well-received apartment, praised for its modern amenities, secure courtyard, and thoughtful welcome pack. Its location is appreciated for proximity to the town centre, though the hill may challenge some. Guests enjoy the bright, airy feel and ample parking, but comfort is compromised by bed quality. Despite this, many express a desire to return.
The apartment generally maintains good cleanliness, with several guests commenting positively. However, there are mentions of dust on crockery and light fixtures, and a lack of mattress protectors, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is frequently praised for its convenience and proximity to the town centre. The off-street parking is a bonus. The mention of a steep hill is noted but does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception.
While the apartment is liked for its spaciousness and modernity, comfort is compromised by the quality of the beds, which are described as squeaky, uncomfortable, and with thin mattresses. This is a recurring theme in the feedback.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and secure courtyard. However, issues with hot water, a problematic tap, and missing bulbs suggest some maintenance oversight, affecting the score.
Guests appreciate the welcome pack, which includes items like jam, bread, milk, and butter. While these gifts enhance the experience, it's important to note that such extras, while delightful, are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

This is the second year at Sunny place. Parking is excellent and it has its own enclosed south west facing patio. It’s great also for anyone with mobility issues as all on one level. If there was a down side, it’s a bit of a walk, if you have mobility issues to the bin store. However overall it’s a great place to stay.
