We had our two dogs with us so we really liked the room we had that opened out onto the seaview lawn and we could take them down to the beach for a quick run.

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.

Additional extra charges for dogs were not included in my initial expectations. I specifically looked for pet-friendly accommodations, assuming that the listed price would cover any potential pet fees. However, I was disappointed to discover that there was an additional £30 charge for my two teacup dogs. The prices for meals were exceedingly high, considering that the quality and taste were not particularly impressive.

Swanage is a compact seaside town but with the added advantage of an excellent bus service and the Swanage steam railway. The beach is clean and sandy. There are boat trips from the pier during the summer. A good selection of shops not just seaside souvenirs . Plenty of choices for evening meals and snacks.

Swanage is one of my most favourite seaside towns!
Swanage is one of my most favourite seaside towns! It is an absolutely beautiful town with a gorgeous bay, with very safe bathing and also dramatic cliff tops too. The town has many lovely shops and lots of fantastic eating places around the harbour and further in the town too. It is facinating to also learn about the history of Swanage and the connections to London and royalty! It is the most wonderful family seaside location xxxSarahUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

Lots of very good and varied eating houses lots of good pubs, amazing steaks at the Red Lion, excellent drink, food and friendly service at the Ship Inn and although out of the Town centre The Crows Nest was very good. Swanage is not a drivers paradise, much easier to park up and walk round. Most impressive shop in Swanage was Curiosity gift shop, you can loose yourself in there for hours.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom

- From $233.57 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 872 reviewsWe were really well looked after as a large mixed age family by all the staff. They were all so polite, attentive and really kind. The views were absolutely stunning from the bedrooms, conservatory and garden. Having steps from the garden to the beach was fantastic and meant that we made full use of the beach. We were all able to park our cars in the car park, but also did not feel the need to use them as walking along the beach to town was an easy option, not that we wanted to leave the hotel. The evening meal was delicious.
DeborahUnited Kingdom - 8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 96 reviewsWe had a fab time in Little Hyde Cottage. It is very quiant and homely with everything you need for your break/holiday. Lovely little courtyard garden. Brilliant location 10 minutes into town and beach. Very dog friendly. Key collection very easy. Parking is a bit of a pain but off loaded luggage then parked up road. When these cottages were built there weren't cars! Wonderful cottage in lovely Swanage. Would definiately recommend and we will definiately stay there again.
