Stunning sea views are offered at this cliff-top hotel overlooking Swanage Bay. With private steps down to the beach, The Pines provides free parking and full English breakfasts.

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.

Set just a 1-minute walk to the beach, and 11 km from Corfe Castle in Swanage, The Rookery Guest House features free WiFi access and free private parking.

Alan and Charlene are wonderful hosts and we love Alan's sense of humor. They made sure we were well taken care of and provided for my wife's special dietary needs.

    Easy walking distance into Swanage & right on top of the beach ⛱️ Friendly & helpful hosts who make you welcome & provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. Relaxing lounge to sit in & spotlessly clean venue. Amazing breakfast I highly recommend The Sandhaven & I can't wait to return again with my family.

    Parking is plentiful. our room was spacious. we had a room with double doors opening onto the garden which was lovely to be able to sit out in the garden in the sunshine. Hotel is in the heart of Swanage, everything is within walking distance from the restaurants, pubs and the beach. we have stayed at the Purbeck house hotel on a number of occasions and we have never been disappointed. Staff are all very helpful. breakfast is great too.😊

    It is a very spacious apartment and has all the facilities you could need. A very thoughtful addition is the owner left wine, cider and chocolate biscuits as well as cereals and tea bags. The beach is within walking distance and Swanage is a lovely family seaside.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Railway Cottage . It was clean and well equipped for the few days we were there . A perfect location just a short stroll into Swanage town and seafront . We stayed in a small double room and I thought the space had been utilised really well. Bed was comfy too . My son and Grandaughters stayed in the family room next to ours and it was very well equipped and set out . We visit Swanage every year and would definitely choose to stop here again . The front garden was so pretty too .. love the lavender !

    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.
