The Limes, hotel in Swanage

Just a 5-minute walk from Swanage Bay and half a mile from Swanage Railway, The Limes features accommodations in Swanage, with a shared lounge.

The place is located in the perfect position to explore Swanage and beyond. The coast bus is £2 each trip Train /bus station about 10/15 minutes walk The entrance hallway is amazing. Giving a great first impression. The visitor book gave a feel if a really friendly place to stay. I was happy I chose here as a big tick on my bucket list visiting the Jurassic coast. I was nicely surprised to see i had been allocated a room with a double bed. The room was spotless. There was an information folder as expected advising of the facilities available, which were to my expectations when booking last year. I was looking forward to meeting the hosts and experiencing their hospitality as reviewed many times with exceptional ratings, and the reason I chose here as a single traveller. I arrived with an SMS message giving me my room number and access code for the key box.

    Fish and chips on the front were superb, and there are lots of nice cafes. The pier is invigorating with fantastic views, the steam train station within a short walk, and a lovely long promenade to walk. There are a good number of welcoming pubs, and a variety of restaurants including pizza, mediteranean cuisine, indian takeaway, burgers, and wonderful bakeries offering Dorset apple cake, pasties and pastries. Lots of interesting shops with Jurassic keepsakes, RNLI gifts, and antiques. There are supermarkets, a chemist, and cashpoints. Once down in the town and at the seafront, it is pretty flat, so easy to get a round, but the hills can make it a difficult climb back after a day on the beach!

    Great traditional sea side town full of everything a family would need for a good holiday. So many kinds of take away food, restaurants and chippies. Brilliant choice of shops for all tastes. Steam train trips. Boat trips and crabbing in the small harbour. Very long sandy beech and beautiful walks to be had along the bay and cliffs. Bird watchers will enjoy the bird colonies along the cliffs.

    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.

    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.

    Loved staying at the limes with my family. Beautiful hotel in an amazing location close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Comfortable room that accommodated myself, my husband and our three children. Sarah was so welcoming and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast room is beautiful and having breakfast made for us each morning was such a treat! Would definitely stay again.

    Located in the centre of Swanage close to numerous pubs and restaurants. An ideal centre for exploring the South West Coast Path. The hotel was everything that was described and felt just like a large family home. The grounds are a true delight with many specimen plants and places to sit. Car parking is free and plentiful which is a real bonus in a town like Swanage.
