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.William JOhnUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.

- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 537 reviewsI have to start by saying that John and Martine are so welcoming and friendly, you feel at home immediately. Easy to check in to your room. Location is great. An easy short walk to the seafront and town centre. There is a pub three doors away that does decent food. The number 50 bus stop is outside the pub. This direction takes you to the swanage ferry and onwards to bournemouth. Breakfast is cooked fresh when you arrive to the room, there is a big range of food to choose from and if you leave there still hungry its your own fault.HelenUnited Kingdom
