Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. Everything was perfect. Just wish I could have stayed longer. I will be back.

    Fish and chips on the front were superb, and there are lots of nice cafes. The pier is invigorating with fantastic views, the steam train station within a short walk, and a lovely long promenade to walk. There are a good number of welcoming pubs, and a variety of restaurants including pizza, mediteranean cuisine, indian takeaway, burgers, and wonderful bakeries offering Dorset apple cake, pasties and pastries. Lots of interesting shops with Jurassic keepsakes, RNLI gifts, and antiques. There are supermarkets, a chemist, and cashpoints. Once down in the town and at the seafront, it is pretty flat, so easy to get a round, but the hills can make it a difficult climb back after a day on the beach!

    Great traditional sea side town full of everything a family would need for a good holiday. So many kinds of take away food, restaurants and chippies. Brilliant choice of shops for all tastes. Steam train trips. Boat trips and crabbing in the small harbour. Very long sandy beech and beautiful walks to be had along the bay and cliffs. Bird watchers will enjoy the bird colonies along the cliffs.

    Out of season Swanage is still charming. Small enough to walk round, but large enough to have a variety of shops and eateries. The Salt Pig was good for eating in. You can walk the coast path amongst other walks.

    we only had two full days in Swanage in the middle of November, so our experience was not typical, We did look to drive into the town and park on the road by the side of the seafront, however the parking charge of £4.30 for the first hour put us off, who wants to benefit from 3 hours at £7.00 in November. As we didn't use the town car parks we cannot comment on the charges in them. My husband has bad knees so we didn't park and walk around the town but there did seem to be some interesting little, individual shops as we drove through, We found Corfe Castle a delight to visit, especially the NT tea shop! We hope to go back.

    I've stayed in Swanage several times and this reflects my like of Swanage and the surrounding area. The Town / beach / numerous eating options / the compact layout of the Town makes it easy to navigate. Also great walks in and around Swanage for short strolls or longer treks. Can't say I would have anywhere that I would avoid on subsequent visits.

    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 !

    Beautiful, spacious and modern apartment, but still with lots of character. Wonderfully decorated in a fantastic location literally just across the road from the beach and the pier. Super comfy beds, really, quiet and peaceful too. Liz the owner is a wonderful person, very kind, helpful, thoughtful and accommodating. We were super impressed! We would definitely book and stay again!

    Loved staying at the limes with my family. Beautiful hotel in an amazing location close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Comfortable room that accommodated myself, my husband and our three children. Sarah was so welcoming and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast room is beautiful and having breakfast made for us each morning was such a treat! Would definitely stay again.

    A wonderful room with sea views, and a very good size. Shot walk to beach. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice and good service and friendly staff. Been to this hotel twice before and it never lets you down. They managed the social distancing very well. Thank you very much, un fortunately the weather was terrible especially for June.

    The apartment was very spacious and the cleanliness was very thorough and the whole interior smelt divine. Good sized rooms and felt very homely. Very good insulation and only a short stroll into the town and the beach. Modern interior with great use of the space in relation to the kitchen and mezzanine lounge.

    The flat was spotless, good location and lovely for the owners to leave tea/coffee/milk/bics to get you started and a bottle of wine. So considerate of them to supply condiments and cooking oil etc. so you didn't have to take everything with you. Excellent location so adjacent to all Swanage's attractions.

    The place is well equipped, clean and located near to the center. Hannah always makes sure that everything’s okay. We visited Swanage for my husband’s birthday and Hannah did a thoughtful touch for us which was really sweet. I would definitely recommend this place to our friends who want to visit Swanage.

    The owner and staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is 5 star. Location is perfect, very near to the beach. My family and I are really happy with the stay. We are planning to go back. One thing to improve is to install air-conditioner, then it will be perfect on hot days.

    The breakfast was excellent. The room was delightful, cooler rather than warmer, which is our preference. The bed was on the soft side. The location was excellent for our weekend at the inaugural Coastal Barbarians Offshore Regatta in Swanage Bay.
