Sarah and Stephen offered great recommendations for exploring the area. Sara made us a delicious cake and provided a generous breakfast. We enjoyed sitting in their garden in the evening.

    I have always loved Swanage its a quintessential seaside town full of activity , I attend a Blues festival annually which is great. Pubs are friendly and plentiful and the fish & chips are outstanding. I would highly recommend a visit to Swanage, I love it and would live there if it suited my families lifestyle.

    What a gem of a seaside town.

    What a gem of a seaside town. The breathtaking scenery of the Jurassic coast with Corfe Castle looming in the near distance... Great pubs and places to eat; fresh pastries and decent coffee. The steam railway, South West Coast Path - and the rose gold sands in front of jaunty beach huts combine to create an atmosphere lost by so many larger, once grander resorts. Some steep hills make the town potentially challenging for wheelchairs. Visiting in autumn when the town had a buzz was fun - unsure about high season visitor volumes and how the small town manages?

    I really liked Swanage.

    I really liked Swanage. There is wonderful walking on the Coastal Path and across the fields, on walks that are accessible by public bus. The Swanage Railway outing to Corfe Castle and the Mining Museum is a very good day out. The town itself has everything that a visitor needs in terms of supermarkets and restaurants and pubs. There is an excellent fish and chips place (The Fish Plaice) right on the square by the quay. Try the Cornish Bakery, too.

    A delightful little historical seaside town with easy walking access to a range of interesting shops and plenty of coffee places. Lots to do for all ages including the railway, museum and pier. We loved the beach and my grandson enjoyed the playground with the best views ever.

    It was very nice to be able to sit out on the lawn and enjoy the views. Alternatively, it was very nice to be able to sit in the lounge area. Access to the beach was a bonus - the hotel has a very good set of new stairs. Parking was very good and the restaurant is a very useful facility. The proximity to the town of Swanage is very good, being within easy walking distance.

    A charming traditional hotel which epitomises the glory days of tourism in Swanage. It was like revisiting the holiday hotels we used to go to 40+ years ago. It blends everything modern with everything traditional in a way that is so endearing - for example the shower is the best I have seen in any hotel - whether that’s 5-star or budget.
