Great location in a cute little town and within 5 min walk of several places to eat. The rooms were clean and had such pretty decor. It felt so quaint and comfortable. The price for staying was a good deal, and they offered a really great breakfast, which was really large. Each item is much bigger than we expected.
The owners were really accommodating and sweet. We had a really great stay, and will definitely be looking to come back again in the future.

Great communication in advance, warm welcome and Lyn and Kevin were friendly and super-helpful throughout.
Room was immaculately clean with a comfortable bed and large bathroom. Our delicious cooked breakfast was delivered to our room each morning. We really appreciated that our hosts had organised free parking permits for guests' use. Easy level walking distance to town centre and beach.

Out of season Swanage is still charming. Small enough to walk round, but large enough to have a variety of shops and eateries. The Salt Pig was good for eating in. You can walk the coast path amongst other walks.

we only had two full days in Swanage in the middle of November, so our experience was not typical, We did look to drive into the town and park on the road by the side of the seafront, however the parking charge of £4.30 for the first hour put us off, who wants to benefit from 3 hours at £7.00 in November. As we didn't use the town car parks we cannot comment on the charges in them.
My husband has bad knees so we didn't park and walk around the town but there did seem to be some interesting little, individual shops as we drove through, We found Corfe Castle a delight to visit, especially the NT tea shop! We hope to go back.

I've stayed in Swanage several times and this reflects my like of Swanage and the surrounding area.
The Town / beach / numerous eating options / the compact layout of the Town makes it easy to navigate. Also great walks in and around Swanage for short strolls or longer treks.
Can't say I would have anywhere that I would avoid on subsequent visits.

Additional extra charges for dogs were not included in my initial expectations. I specifically looked for pet-friendly accommodations, assuming that the listed price would cover any potential pet fees. However, I was disappointed to discover that there was an additional £30 charge for my two teacup dogs.
The prices for meals were exceedingly high, considering that the quality and taste were not particularly impressive.

Swanage is a compact seaside town but with the added advantage of an excellent bus service and the Swanage steam railway. The beach is clean and sandy. There are boat trips from the pier during the summer. A good selection of shops not just seaside souvenirs . Plenty of choices for evening meals and snacks.

Swanage is one of my most favourite seaside towns!
Swanage is one of my most favourite seaside towns! It is an absolutely beautiful town with a gorgeous bay, with very safe bathing and also dramatic cliff tops too. The town has many lovely shops and lots of fantastic eating places around the harbour and further in the town too. It is facinating to also learn about the history of Swanage and the connections to London and royalty! It is the most wonderful family seaside location xxx
We were really well looked after as a large mixed age family by all the staff. They were all so polite, attentive and really kind.
The views were absolutely stunning from the bedrooms, conservatory and garden.
Having steps from the garden to the beach was fantastic and meant that we made full use of the beach.
We were all able to park our cars in the car park, but also did not feel the need to use them as walking along the beach to town was an easy option, not that we wanted to leave the hotel.
The evening meal was delicious.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Railway Cottage . It was clean and well equipped for the few days we were there . A perfect location just a short stroll into Swanage town and seafront . We stayed in a small double room and I thought the space had been utilised really well. Bed was comfy too . My son and Grandaughters stayed in the family room next to ours and it was very well equipped and set out . We visit Swanage every year and would definitely choose to stop here again . The front garden was so pretty too .. love the lavender !
This apartment is in a superb location, on the ground floor, and just a few minutes walk to the beach, parks, amusements, town centre and of course, the great Swanage Railway station. It includes 2 free parking spaces - which are essential for this town in summer. The kitchen area is brand new and everything works smoothly. Jo was very helpful and quick to respond to guide us on a few initial queries to get us settled in. Would certainly consider returning.
Spacious, very clean, and well equipped.
The kitchen had a great gas cooker and oven. The microwave was good and was the kettle.
Beds are very comfy and bedding. They are good clean quality.
Bathroom clean with lovely shower.
The living had excellent seating with a very comfortable main sofa and a chair with leg rest.
The location is perfect since Swanage Beach is only 5 mins walk away.

Lots to like. Great location for town centre, beach and coastal walks etc. Did not need to use the car during our stay also the car park over the road was perfect for 24hr stay and only a pound during winter months.
Cottage was comfy and had all you need, perfect location😎
Our dogs were relaxed in the room and I should mention that allowing dogs to stay for free is a real bonus 👍
We chose not to have breakfast at the accommodation as we like to go out.
The location was ideal for walking to the beach and into town.
Martin very welcoming and friendly and checked both mornings everything was ok.
Room was clean and bed comfortable. Not a lot of space in the room, however this was fine for us for 2 nights and we were just using it for somewhere to sleep.
Stunningly beautiful old buildings. Lovely gardens.
Perfect location. Close to the beach and town. Lots to do and see in the area.
Friendly staff. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, beautiful breakfast and good value for money.
Would definatly come back.
The room got upgraded from a double to a family room so we had extra space.
We stayed in the louisa Lodge.
The cottage was beautiful and well equipped. communication from the host was excellent. we stayed with our two teenage sons and there was ample space for us all. having towels, and cleaning supplies included was a bonus too! short walk to swanage high street and the beach. perfect relaxing stay
The apartment is centrally located in the heart of Swanage, ideal base for exploring Dorset's Jurassic coast. The apartment is spacious and one of six in the block. It has a well equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. The apartment is well presented with modern fixtures and fittings.
The house was a home away from home, our host was very friendly and attentive. Everything you could need for a comfortable and memorable stay was provided we will definitely be returning in the New year and recommending this home to our family and friends.
The room and en suite were excellent, good choice of teas and coffee in the room. The breakfast choice was great, the best we have had in any Guest House. Swanage Haven Boutique Hotel
is a place that we will certainly return to.
Exceptional service and very polite and helpful staff. The evening meal is excellentl, beautifully presented and tasty. The waiting staff were brilliant. The hotel is in a wonderful position with easy access to the beach.
Lovely welcome from Rob.
Really helpful and friendly. Breakfast was lovely and huge. Wonderful sea view room. Bedding all clean. An excellent place to stay in Swanage. Check out the paneled Sitting Room.
The location was beautiful with the hotel on the sea front and a small walk down onto the beach via hotel stair case, 10-15 minute walk to swanage bay with lovely places to eat for good money
The breakfast was good and very filling which we needed because we had a long day at a wedding nearby. The view and access to the beach were second to none - I think this was the best part.
Great little apartment within easy walking distance of the centre of Swanage. Beautiful views out of the back patio doors. Very clean and comfortable. Great communications from the host.
I visit swanage several times a year (I have family there) so I knew the location would be good. The parking was good. The apartment was very spacious and well kept.
