“Property needs better insulation.”

Too cold for a winter break even with timed heating. Oven broken, owner advised & may repair. Was unable to access gate to external bins. Had to climb on the wall to dispose of rubbish. Property very well presented and immaculate.

“Lovely apartment in great central location, really clean & tidy with all the facilities you could possibly want, the cake,apples & fresh milk left as a welcome was lovely.”

It was carnival week so could be a little noisy late at night but we have been going to Swanage carnival for many years so we were aware of this & didn’t bother us at all. Fabulous place to stay & we hope to be back again. Thank you both.

“Fantastic little cottage in a great location just off the high street .”

Spotless and everything you will need is provided for you by the great owners. Good parking space which is a great plus in swanage ,car didn’t move for a week because everything you need is walking distance away. Great location great food in the pub downstairs I would highly recommend this place

“Accommodation good.”

Local to all amenities but noisy at night/late evening. Property itself comfortable and all utensils etc of high quality. Loved the holiday feel - pictures ornaments etc depicting local area. Courtyard ok but overlooks car parking area. Made pretty with plants.

Robert March 2023

“This is a little Gem!”

Extremely clean, with everything you need to enjoy your short break, or longer holiday. Including a very thoughtful welcome gift. A pillow that does not give you neck ache for your entire stay! So good was it I had to look at the make, so that I can get one at the earliest opportunity! There are lots of lovely walks and a really good bus service to Wareham, Poole and Bournemouth. With rail links to further afield. Would I recommend The Compass? You bet I would. Best regards, Robert and Elizabeth Quaile.

- Robert, March 2023

Dear Robert, thank you so much for the lovely feedback. It is very important to us that our guests feel comfortable and welcome at The Compass. Regards Jane and Tony. Property Owner

Great facilities - well thought-out and organised. We had a lovely time, thank you!

Peter October 2022

“Rubbish place”

- Peter, October 2022

We are disappointed to receive this feedback without any specific examples, as this would enable us to address any concerns. We have received so much positive feedback over the years with guests scoring The Compass as Excellent and outstanding, and have maintained an overall score of 4.9/5, hence the reason we are disappointed to receive this feedback. Our guests have also made some wonderful comments in the guest book, and left thank you cards and gifts as they have enjoyed staying at the property. Property Owner
Simon July 2022

“The Compass is a lovely place to stay.”

We were visiting Swanage for the Carnival so staying so centrally was fantastic. The flat is really well equipped, is comfortable and cosy, and served us really well. The welcome gifts were a very nice (and tasty) touch too. We had the pleasure of bumping into the owners who were both very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.

- Simon, July 2022

Dear Simon, Many thanks for your lovely comments about our apartment. It is really appreciated and pleasing to know that our property is comfortable and cosy for our guests. Kind regards Jane and Tony. Property Owner

Property Owner
Karen June 2022

“We have family in Swanage and visit regularly, trying out various properties.”

From now on we will be booking The Compass every time. What a find. The location is perfect! Right in the middle of town and a two minute walk to the beach. We thought it may be a little noisy but the bedroom is at the back, overlooking a shared patio area, so sleeping was not a problem. Small dishwasher, washing machine, a fully equipped and perfect sized kitchen. Including complimentary tea, coffee, milk, cake, biscuits and fruit on arrival. Large walk in shower. Nicely decorated, cosy and comfortable. For the two of us this accommodation was spot on and we fully recommend it...

- Karen, June 2022

Hi Karen, Many thanks for your lovely comments. We are delighted you enjoyed your trip to Swanage and our apartment. Kind regards Jane and Tony. Property Owner

- Kathy, April 2022

Dear Kath, Thank you for your lovely comments about your stay at The Compass, it is really appreciated. Regards Jane and Tony. Property Owner

“Such a fantastic cottage!”

Immaculately clean, and kitted out. We were left some snacks on arrival, and a pint of milk - which was lovely! Everything was thought out and I couldn't fault a thing! Location was perfect.

- Hannah, April 2022

Dear Hannah, Many thanks for the great feedback, it is very much appreciated. It was nice to meet you, also thank you for the lovely comments you wrote in the guest book. Regards Jane an Tony Property Owner
Jan April 2022

“Lovely setting, everything you need for a holiday and well resourced - everything needed available and little extras appreciated.”

Layout in seating area cramped might be better rearranging to other side of breakfast bar and putting screen elsewhere?

- Jan, April 2022

Dear Jan, We are pleased to hear that you had everything you needed for your stay. Regards Jane and Tony. Property Owner
Neville March 2022

Only downside was the parking which was very snug for our car.

- Diane, March 2022

Dear Diane, Many thanks for your positive feedback, it is great to know that you liked the decor and that you had everything you needed. Kind regards. Property Owner

..lemon drizzle cake! What a lovely touch. Snug and cosy, perfectly placed in Swanage.

- David, February 2022

Dear David, It is lovely to know that the welcome goodies were appreciated, and we are pleased that you found the flat snug and cosy. Kind regards Jane and Tony Property Owner

“Lovely comfortable and clean apartment.”

Right across the street from the beach and lots of places to eat or get takeaways. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. I would gladly stay here again. Tea, coffee and milk were supplied to get started, as well as some treats. Nothing negative to say about this property.

- Yvonne, December 2021

Dear Yvonne, many thanks for the positive feedback you have given our apartment. It was nice to meet you, and thank you for leaving the property so clean and tidy, we are most grateful. Kind regards, Jane and Tony Property Owner
Carol December 2021

“We had a lovely pre-Christmas week here.”

Spotlessly clean with everything one could wish for in holiday accommodation. Everything was good quality, unlike some places we've stayed at where the impression is that mis-matched crockery and cutlery (for example) is acceptable The Christmas decorations, mince pies, fruit and biscuits were a lovely touch too! It's an excellent position within the town with everything within easy reach.

- Carol, December 2021

Dear Carol, we would like to thank you for your positive comments about our apartment, and we are really pleased you had a lovely pre-Christmas week. Kind regards, Jane and Tony. Property Owner
Allan October 2021

“Well positioned in centre of town nothing( pier/ sea front/ restaurants) more than a few minutes away.”

well served by late opening supermarket. compass flat was spotless with everything you could need for home from home stay. plus treats and milk left for that arrival cup of tea . no issues with parking space just need to be sensible when getting in. no noise from local pubs etc . been coming to Swanage for many years b&b/caravans/ hotels . would we stay her again of course it's quite a little gem .

- Allan, October 2021

Dear Allan, thank you for your positive comments regarding your stay in our flat and your visit to Swanage. Best regards Jane and Tony. Property Owner
Anthony August 2021

“Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

Supplies and treats provided for us were a very nice touch. Excellent central location and great to have a parking space. The only small downside was having the pub so close by - evenings at the weekend were particularly noisy. Also, the outdoor space is in a shared area so no privacy when sitting outside.

- Anthony, August 2021
Andrew June 2021

“Very comfortable apartment with everything we needed.”

Excellent bed - super comfortable mattress! The one drawback is that the designated outside seating area is disappointing; right on top of the noisy pub area, with no sun umbrella, so we didn't use it at all. Extremely well located for all the delights of Swanage in easy walking distance.

- Andrew, June 2021

Dear Andrew, we would like to thank you for your positive comments about your stay at our apartment. Sorry to hear you found the sitting area a little noisy. Good point regarding the sun umbrella, which we purchased as soon as we received your feedback, which is now positioned with the table and chairs. Kind regards Jane and Tony Property Owner
D September 2020

“We originally booked this holiday in May but we had hassle over paying the remainder.”

We were told we had lost our deposit and the holiday had been cancelled, even though we had an email saying we had paid. We had to rebook for the next week and pay a fee, the whole booking process caused us stress and upset. We were made to feel that it was our fault that Sykes had not processed the payment

- D, September 2020
Frances August 2020

“Fantastic apartment in a perfect location.”

It has everything you could possibly need. From a cleanliness perspective it was immaculate. We knew when we booked that our car would probably be too big for the allocated space, which it was, but there it plenty of free street parking just around the corner. We only had 2 nights as that was all that was available at such short notice but would love to return for longer next time.

- Frances, August 2020
Mark August 2020

“Just the little touches of leaving cake and fruit - makes the whole stay perfect.”

Very impressed with the measures put in for Covid. Well done, all involved

- Mark, August 2020
Georgina March 2020

“Everything we could possibly have required was there.”

The flat felt spacious, light and airy and was centrally placed in the town so that we only used our car once all week. We had an enjoyable week and wold definitely recommend the apartment to others. Thank you to our hosts for all the little extras.

- Georgina, March 2020
Edward March 2020

“Great place to stay for the Swanage Blues Festival.”

We’ll be back.

- Edward, March 2020
Keith February 2020

James December 2019

“All very good this was the first time renting a cottage as we use our touring ...”

All very good this was the first time renting a cottage as we use our touring caravan most of the time we were shocked as it was Christmas eve even the little things like cooking foil and shrink wrap was there but we did take our own in case all we can say it was a well earned break away from home I have never slept so much recommend 100 % away from phone and work

- James, December 2019
Sally November 2019

“The Compass is a perfect bijou flat for two.”

It is centrally located in Swanage. We enjoyed walking, mainly along coastal paths. There are plenty of eating and drinking places around, many in walking distance. Otherwise there are supermarkets and bakers close. The flat was very clean and comfortable. The owners have an eye for decor and have thought of many little ‘extras’ that are appreciated. Can recommend this property.

- Sally, November 2019
Nicholas October 2019

“Lovely apartment would definitely stay again”

- Nicholas, October 2019
Edward October 2019

“We stayed in The Compass to attend the Swanage Blues Festival.”

The location is ideal; it's very close to the centre so it's easy to get to all the venues. Car parking space is adequate, but a little tight. The Compass has everything we want for a stay in Swanage, and more. We have booked up again.

- Edward, October 2019
Sarah September 2019

“Lovely apartment spotlessly clean very well equipped even down to providing foil for our sandwiches welcome goodies much appreciated after a long journey parking place looked tight at first glance but following instructions given on how to park found no problems.”

Location perfect swanage is a lovely place within walking distance of old harry rocks and other stunning coastal views thanks for a fantastic holiday

- Sarah, September 2019
Colin July 2019

“We had a very good holiday but with the apartment being in the middle of town it could be quite noisy at times (particularly during carnival week).”

I found the parking space adequate and quite easy to get into providing you reversed into the court yard. Reversing into the court yard also made it very easy to get out of again? But it is a good idea to have someone on the road to warn you of approaching traffic as it is difficult to see approaching vehicles.

- Colin, July 2019
Ray July 2019

“It's a lovely little flat, quiet, comfortable and so close to the beach.”

We had a very good holiday. No complaints at all.

- Ray, July 2019
Jill June 2019

“Apartment is in an excellent location for a stroll or to go further afield.”

The chippy was open morning to late evening and was always packed! The apartment was very well equipped and was ideal for our needs. We would have liked a bigger bed but was still very comfortable. It was lovely to have an outside space but the chairs could have done with a cushion. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Jill, June 2019
Susan June 2019

“The location was very convenient, near to local amenities, a welcome food package was waiting for us which was appreciated.”

The apartment was lovely and fresh, nicely decorated with seaside themes all around. The bed was comfy and we slept very well. There was plenty of local leaflets and information which helped us plan our time. The only downside was the small parking space but we knew about that so took our smaller car.

- Susan, June 2019
Ian May 2019

“A very nice apartment in an excellent location.”

We will be back.

- Ian, May 2019
Leonard May 2019

- Leonard, May 2019
Halina April 2019

“Really enjoyed our stay here.”

Would recommend. Lovely area. Very cosy apartment. Parking was very tight - only negative.

- Halina, April 2019
Sandy March 2019

“The flat was excellent, well situated and presented.”

The owners had gone the extra mile by providing us with a welcome pack of milk, cake,fruit and biscuits plus high quality and sustainable toiletries and cleaning products. There was a comprehensive list of up to date places to see and and activities in the area which enabled us to fully enjoy the surrounding towns and countryside. Thank you for a great holiday experience.

- Sandy, March 2019
Edward February 2019

“Having such a comfortable and relaxing space right in the centre of the action - The Swanage Blues Festival - made the festival even more enjoyable.”

The flat was beautiful and (more than) everything you could ever need was supplied.

- Edward, February 2019
Michael February 2019

Simon November 2018

“The apartment was absolutely fantastic, with everything you needed .”

The welcoming treats of cake and fruit etc were a lovely touch. It was just lovely to be able to park the car and not have to worry about it, parking at the seaside is usually limited. Swanage is a lovely town and I would definitely recommend this apartment to my friends and family.

- Simon, November 2018
Judy October 2018

“Great little flat!”

The parking would be on the tight side if you have a big car. Convenient for the town and for exploring the Jurassic coast along the South West Coastal Path. Really enjoyed our break and the owners were really helpful. I would recommend a visit!

- Judy, October 2018
Michael October 2018

“The expected car parking space at the property was A JOKE!”

Room to park our car only if we didn't mind blocking the exit/entrance for all other residents or risking getting our car scraped or worse.Our allotted space was big enough for a moped or 2 bicycles or a Mini at best. Usual palaver with temperature controls on shower & very patchy TV reception...but neither insuperable or terminal ...par for the course in a holiday let! Flat was amazing...so well furnished,well maintained & SUPER location.Shops,pubs,sea/beach/seafront & other amenities all within minutes of leaving the flat.Very hard to find such a lovely location with such welcoming locals. How did Sykes manage to arrange the weather? Despite difficulties with car parking....will almost certainly advise friends to visit.

- Michael, October 2018
Raymond October 2018

“A beautiful flat.”

The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Tea, cakes and milk were waiting for us when we arrived. Everything looked new as if we were the first visitors. An excellent experience.

- Raymond, October 2018
Thomas October 2018

“Lovely flat close to town and beach, very well appointed.”

We parked the car and didn’t need to use it for the duration of our holiday as Swanage has plenty going on even in October it truly is a great place to visit.

- Thomas, October 2018

About the location

SWANAGE

Wareham 9.7 miles; Poole 20 miles.

The small, family-friendly seaside resort of Swanage is situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s famous Jurassic Coast, on the celebrated Isle of Purbeck and is probably best known for its wonderful, gently shelving golden sands. The little town offers visitors plenty of shops, good pubs and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood, and is also well known for its annual jazz festival, which takes place each July. The attractive, Victorian wooden pier offers a great place for a stroll or try fishing, and often used a departure point for divers, it’s a wonderful place to watch the world pass by. The historic Swanage Railway has its terminus in the town and regular nostalgic steam engine trips take tourists for a picturesque 6-mile journey, chugging through lovely countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle. Nearby Durlston Country Park offers a lovely day out with spectacular coastal walks, dolphin spotting and wildlife watching, together with comfortable viewing points and a well-stocked cafe for a treat after all the fresh air. Take the short drive to Studland, which has one of the finest beaches in the country, surrounded by heathland, together with the regular chain ferry, which crosses the mouth of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks. This truly is a delightful holiday destination at any time of the year.
