I stayed in the Louisa Lodge, lovely spacious room felt really comfortable and relaxed. I wasn't sure what to expect staying in the lodge instead of the main hotel but it really didn't make any difference about a minutes walk through the garden to get to main hotel, for the bar and Breakfast. Breakfast was excellent and good value for money. All the staff were friendly, approachable and helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent quick easy access to the main town centre and of course the beach!
Overlooking Swanage Bay and the Jurassic Coast, this YHA hostel is 250 metres from Swanage’s Blue Flag sandy beach.

Super comfy and clean place! With a great view over the bay. Self-catering kitchen was truly impressive, both its cleanliness and the cooking equipment. Super friendly host!

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.
We had a fab week staying at Arbour House B&B. Fraser and Sarah are great hosts and made us feel very welcome.
The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious and the breakfast was very tasty with a great selection to choose from.
The B&B is in a great position within a few minutes walk of the beautiful sandy Swanage beach.
We will definitely be back soon.
Thank you Fraser and Sarah x
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.
Beautiful, light and spacious. Excellent location and having a dedicated parking space in the centre of Swanage (by experience), is a luxury. It is up a hill, but you can drop bags off first. The apartment was clean, quiet and has everything you'd need for a great short or long stay holiday! The hosts are great at keeping in touch should you need anything.
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 apartment was very spacious and the cleanliness was very thorough and the whole interior smelt divine. Good sized rooms and felt very homely. Very good insulation and only a short stroll into the town and the beach. Modern interior with great use of the space in relation to the kitchen and mezzanine lounge.
The place is well equipped, clean and located near to the center. Hannah always makes sure that everything’s okay. We visited Swanage for my husband’s birthday and Hannah did a thoughtful touch for us which was really sweet. I would definitely recommend this place to our friends who want to visit Swanage.
We were fortunate to arrive when the small car park had a space.
The breakfast was cooked to order placed the night before and was excellent.
Our room was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable.
The check in and check out procedures were the best I have ever experienced when staying in any hotel.
Everything was spotless and amazingly well organised. Alan, the Proprietor, could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was lovely and there were little details we had not expected, eg bottled water every morning. We had car parking space in the centre of Swanage and a short stroll to the beach.
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
Lovely B&B in the perfect location to walk into Swanage/explore the jurassic coast. Really good value for money, rooms were very clean. Breakfast was amazing!! Hosts were wonderful and loved the self-checkin boxes as we had multiple people sharing rooms and only one key
A perfect stay at a wonderful location, the best views in Swanage and delightful friendly staff. The hotel has had a makeover since my last visit and it really has achieved a wow factor...thank you all for helping me to chill out and recharge my batteries!
The breakfast was excellent. The room was delightful, cooler rather than warmer, which is our preference. The bed was on the soft side. The location was excellent for our weekend at the inaugural Coastal Barbarians Offshore Regatta in Swanage Bay.
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.
Clean, comfortable, stylish room with large bathroom. Breakfast was excellent - great quality and plenty of it! Good location with short walk to beach and town. Friendly and helpful owners who are doing a great job.
Small room but clean and comfortable with a sea view. Liked the steps down to the beach and the gate to the coastal walk. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and efficient.
Excellent location and breakfast. Staff all very polite and welcoming. Nicely decorated hotel. Great to have beach access to walk to Swanage without being right in the centre.
Lovely hotel, full of history and a very good location for Swanage. Good size room with sea views. Quiet, unlike other hotels we have stayed in. Staff were all friendly.
