This hotel is fantastic. The location is wonderful. With a great view of the sea and a walk down to the beach from the garden and an amazing coastal walk to Studland nearby. The facilities are good - a really comfortable bed. And Breakfast is decent.

Railway Cottage is the perfect location for a holiday or short break on the Dorset coast.

Location was key. Parking across the street. Beach down the road. Short walk to the centre of town. Communications from owners with check-in and check-out was excellent. Good value for money!

Situated in the coastal town of Swanage, The Sandhaven offers free MESH WiFi. Less than a 2-minute stroll from the beach and panoramic views of Swanage Bay, Swanage Pier is also 17 minutes' walk away....

The property was clean and comfortable, smelled really fresh. Our room was compact but fully functional, as described on the booking. Breakfast was delicious and the perfect portion sizes. Very well located, a few minutes walk to the seafront. John and Maxine were the perfect hosts, really friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay again in the future.

The house is located close to the train station, city center or the beach. The room was very clean, with a nice view towards the back garden. The breakfast was reach and diverse. Social distance was kept in the dining room. The owner was very nice, friendly and he advised us on the hikes that we planned to do from Swanage.

    The room was first class, Very large & spacious. Our hosts were very welcoming. Breakfast was served in our room daily by filling in the menu. The b&b is very close to all amenities in Swanage town & the beach. Would highly recommend staying.

    The location is great for the beach and walking into Swanage. Parking was not a problem on the roads behind the property. Plenty of space with this apartment which was at the top of the building. Communication with owner was excellent.

    Lovely, homely apartment. Excellent location and great to have parking. Very short walk to beach and Swanage Railway. Comfortable beds, and really nice living spaces. Bright and airy. Plenty of storage space. Plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans and crockery. Kitchen is small but perfectly functional and easy to cook a family meal. Nice to have shelves of books, games and puzzles (and netflix!). Nice to have a washing machine. We loved it and have booked again for next year!

    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.
