Swallows

Couples looking for a coastal break will find Swallows convenient for beach time without the fuss of a larger property. This one-bedroom apartment sits in a purpose-built block near Alum Chine, where the sand is minutes away on foot. The Riviera Hotel area and various cafés are within walking distance, along with a pub less than a mile off.

The flat is all on one floor, with an open-plan layout that combines kitchen, dining and living space. A kingsize bedroom and walk-in shower room are separate. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly—electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge and dishwasher—or you can eat out at the Italian restaurant nearby. Essentials like electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are included. Laundry facilities are available in the building's basement, and there's an on-site spa if you want to use it. Parking is on-road, first come first served. No smoking throughout.
