What Guests Said About Swanage:

    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.

    Lovely seaside town with extraordinary beach and vista; we also like the shops, Steam Railway and the layout of the town. Lovely Cafe for Lunch where we waited to board the Waverly Paddle Steamer. A trip of the Swanage Steam Railway. A superb visit.

    We only stayed in Swanage as we know it well but we had an appointment in Poole on one day and walked to the Old Harry Rocks from the Bankes Arms in Studland on another. We ate out in Swanage each evening enjoying looking out to sea in the sunshine.

    Lovely place for a weeks holiday, Swanage has many eating places, sometimes pricey. And the good ones are all reserved quickly. So you have to be quick! Durston park was very good for a walk which is nearby. Corfe Castle too steep for us. The steam train quite expensive for only a few miles from Swanage.

    Great family location, lots of restaurants to choose from. Only minor issue, you need to try and book tables during high season as a lot of places were very busy. We only found one place where you could book online.

    The location was amazing - on the top of the cliff with a lovely garden overlooking the sea and own steps down to the beach. The hotel was beautifully decorated.and everywhere was exceptionally clean. The room itself was spacious with patio doors to a small balcony and very reasonably priced. All the staff were lovely and friendly and the breakfast menu was extensive. I would definitely stay again.

    Oozing old-fashioned elegance, this is the best situated hotel in Swanage. Staff are friendly and welcoming There are fantastic views from the restaurant and the garden. Downstairs small sauna, swimming pool and jacuzzi. I took the stairs down to the beach and had a dip in the sea and did the same again in the morning before check-out. Perfect!
