The location is wonderful. Views are amazing and you can walk on the shore to get to town. The beach area is less packed than closer to town which is very nice. There is a place to get evening drinks in the lobby and the staff there were absolutely lovely and very helpful

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!

Sarah and Stephen offered great recommendations for exploring the area. Sara made us a delicious cake and provided a generous breakfast. We enjoyed sitting in their garden in the evening.

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.

    Great family location, lots of restaurants to choose from. Only minor issue, you need to try and book tables during high season as a lot of places were very busy. We only found one place where you could book online.

    Busy seaside resort, and good pier and nice clean sandy beaches. However, apart from few pubs , all places were closed shortly after 9pm, including most restaurants- surprising on August Bank Holiday.

    Swanage is an amazing place to relax and enjoy the beach and sea. A variety of food and shops and arcades in the town make the need to travel any further unnesaccery. A trip on the steam train to corfe castle and a cream tea after a walk up the hill and back is also a great experience

    It's a lovely seaside town with the usual attractions such as boat trips, arcades and crazy golf. What I did think was good were the amount of public toilets, especially as we went during the peak time of August!! There are plenty of cafes and places to eat. We walked around, but there seemed to be plentyof public transport if you want to go further afield.

    The flat is fanatic, comfortable, welcoming, so well appointed. Area was quiet during the day and at night. Large windows let in plenty of light all through. Bed was comfortable and shower had good pressure. Kitchen was well equipped, even a pint of milk waiting in the fridge. The washer dryer was really helpful after a day on the beech. Dedicated parking space. Less than 5 minutes from the beach and 10 minutes into town. Couldn’t have asked for more. If ever in Swanage again this is the place we’ll stay.

    We had a family room, which was excellent as our grandson had his own side room. Breakfast and evening meals offered a good choice and the evening meals were all accompanied by a good selection of fresh vegetables. The location of the hotel offers wonderful views of the bay and there are convenient steps down to the beach.

    Smartly presented old-style grand hotel with good views to the sea and town of Swanage. My single room was smallish but had all that I needed. Common areas are nice and roomy. About a mile's walk from the centre of Swanage with a bit of a climb, but much nearer to the beach.

    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.
