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!

    Swanage is a lovely is a traditional seaside town, with a long safe, clean beach and promenade. The shops consist of lots of fish and chip shops, gift shops and the usual amusement arcade found in traditional seaside towns.

    It's a traditional resort, with all amenities, unspoiled by progress. Amusement arcades are kept to a minimum. The seagulls can be a menace, but we didn't lose chips or ice-cream. The bus service is excellent and ideal for walkers. We enjoyed walking to Peveril Point and Durston Castle.

    It is a lovely resort, albeit very traditional.

    It is a lovely resort, albeit very traditional. Some might say staid but I like it. Things wind down early in the evening, few places to eat much after 8pm. The main town is compact and the centrally situated steam railway is brilliant. My only gripe is the extortionate car parking charges which were clearly putting off visitors. £4.60 an hour or £21 a day by the seafront, and not exactly cheap even in the main carpark which is 10 mins from the beach. Must be losing business for the local shops.

    It was good to have train and bus transport at the same location and well advertised timetables. A good choice and variety of shops, cafes and restaurants in the town and very friendly and polite staff . A pleasant coastal walk to Peveril Point and great views of the coast. A smooth journey on the steam railway from Swanage to Corfe Castle which has interesting ruins to explore. Brownsea Island is within easy reach and interesting to explore the numerous trails.

    A pretty typical UK seaside resort with all the usual facilities. Beach is sandy with gentle gradient into the sea. Good for children and swimmers generally. No big funfair type activities. Nicely maintained public gardens. Bus service looked reasonable. Not a good centre for touring, but O.K. for walking - nearby Corfe castle and Studland generally.

Living room is spacious with a large smart TV and books/games available for guests. Bedroom are large and beds are comfortable, with plenty of storage room for clothes/luggage. Kitchen is well equipped, with a small dishwasher and washing machine available. Bathroom is on the small side, but with a powerful shower. Overall, we were very happy with the property!

    Location was ideal, if you walk down the side of the Grand Hotel a little path leads down to the beach. There’s a couple of cafes there, they serve breakfast and lunch until 3pm weather permitting. You can walk along this coastal path into Swanage. (Bit of a steep hill when going back up the side of the Grand Hotel to get back to the accommodation, but pace yourself 😊)

    Swanage is a delightful Victorian seaside resort in the glorious Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. It is one of the most beautiful areas in the whole of the UK. This B&B is ideally located near the beach. It represents really good value for money, with excellent breakfasts, lovely owners and good accessibility to all the sights. We really enjoyed our stay.
