A lovely seaside town, full of character, locals very friendly, great beach, recommend boat trip to Poole and Swanage steam railway. Great coastal walks, a beautiful family friendly seaside town. Shops all locally owned, lots of cafe's and restaurants.

We visit Swanage several times year to visit the variety of events that the town hosts. We have done so since the children were small. We now take our grandchildren. It remains the same friendly unchanged place as it was 25 years ago. We always travel across the ferry and enjoy the whole of the Isle of Purbeck for walking, cycling, beachcombing, swimming, canoeing and boat trips. Great. Parking can be difficult at times.

Coastal town often benefits from clear skies while cloudy inland. Has several restaurants (best to book for some), pubs and general town shopping. Many attractions within 10 miles. Poole/Bournemouth/Weymouth not far away. Swanage Railway a major tourist attraction with station only 400yds from seafront.

I fell in love with this place on the drive in; the views are spectacular from all angles. And then I fell in love with it all over again walking through the streets and along the beach. I stayed in two different hotels on my five day stay in Swanage, and I would recommend the Purbeck House Hotel & Louisa Lodge every time. The staff there cannot do enough for you, and I really appreciated it. It would be no exaggeration to say that I'm counting down the days until I can stay there again. As a solo traveller, Swanage is incredibly accessible, whether you want to eat, relax, meet people, enjoy the sea or the land, there's nothing about being there that isn't inclusive or enjoyable.

Swanage is a pretty and safe seaside town. RNLI lifeguards are present at part of the main beach. Nice walks to Durlston and Old Harry Rocks. Beach huts are available to hire from the council. There is a nice 18 hole putting course within walking distance that is good value (just over £3 for an adult as at Aug 2016). For me, there are not many good value restaurants in Swanage - but depends on your budget, tastes, etc. Several fish and chip shops.
“Location was good close to beach and in town centre. Accomadation was comfortable and staff very friendly”
“Spacious and comfortable room, friendly staff, lovely breakfast.”
“Lovely view from the balcony. A very comfortable hotel without being over-fussy. The original Victorian building is amazing as are the well kept gardens. Nice breakfast.”
“Great location, just a short (uphill) walk from the beach. Very clean and comfortable.”
“The charm & character of the hotel -so refreshing in an age of soulless hotels. The setting is unbeatable - on the cliff top with a panoramic view of Swanage bay. Moreover you can walk down the steps from the cliff too garden straight on to the sandy beach. I have been coming to this hotel for the past 25 years & it is always superb.”
