The building was amazing. And don't forget to ask at the front desk about the history book about the place, it has a scavenger hunt in it, and a prize if you find everything!

The host did a lot to make us feel comfortable for example a manual with lots of advice and little notes around the property. This made understanding the property very easy. Gorgeous views from the living room. We could have sat there all day staring at the hills and coastline. The garden was split over three levels. The host had left complimentary tea/coffees/milk and sugar. Cleaning kits and lots of crockery Comfy beds and bed sheets that smelled incredible. Lots of space in the house for everyone to relax and enjoy. A well stocked bookshelf.

    Swanage is a lovely is a traditional seaside town, with a long safe, clean beach and promenade. The shops consist of lots of fish and chip shops, gift shops and the usual amusement arcade found in traditional seaside towns. There is a steam railway situated right inside the town, as well as coastal walks.

    It's a traditional resort, with all amenities, unspoiled by progress. Amusement arcades are kept to a minimum. The seagulls can be a menace, but we didn't lose chips or ice-cream. The bus service is excellent and ideal for walkers. We enjoyed walking to Peveril Point and Durston Castle.

    It is a lovely resort, albeit very traditional.

    It is a lovely resort, albeit very traditional. Some might say staid but I like it. Things wind down early in the evening, few places to eat much after 8pm. The main town is compact and the centrally situated steam railway is brilliant. My only gripe is the extortionate car parking charges which were clearly putting off visitors. £4.60 an hour or £21 a day by the seafront, and not exactly cheap even in the main carpark which is 10 mins from the beach. Must be losing business for the local shops.

    It was good to have train and bus transport at the same location and well advertised timetables. A good choice and variety of shops, cafes and restaurants in the town and very friendly and polite staff . A pleasant coastal walk to Peveril Point and great views of the coast. A smooth journey on the steam railway from Swanage to Corfe Castle which has interesting ruins to explore. Brownsea Island is within easy reach and interesting to explore the numerous trails.

    A pretty typical UK seaside resort with all the usual facilities. Beach is sandy with gentle gradient into the sea. Good for children and swimmers generally. No big funfair type activities. Nicely maintained public gardens. Bus service looked reasonable. Not a good centre for touring, but O.K. for walking - nearby Corfe castle and Studland generally.

    Everything !!! Swanage Haven is just that - a haven. From the moment we first crossed the threshold we knew that we had chosen a gem for our first stay in this part of Dorset. we have stayed in many B&Bs over the years and Swanage Haven is up there with the best of them. Thanks Tina and Amanda for a wonderful stay.
