Out of season Swanage is still charming.
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.

Additional extra charges for dogs were not included in my initial expectations. I specifically looked for pet-friendly accommodations, assuming that the listed price would cover any potential pet fees. However, I was disappointed to discover that there was an additional £30 charge for my two teacup dogs.
The prices for meals were exceedingly high, considering that the quality and taste were not particularly impressive.

Swanage is a compact seaside town but with the added advantage of an excellent bus service and the Swanage steam railway. The beach is clean and sandy. There are boat trips from the pier during the summer. A good selection of shops not just seaside souvenirs . Plenty of choices for evening meals and snacks.

Swanage is one of my most favourite seaside towns!
Swanage is one of my most favourite seaside towns! It is an absolutely beautiful town with a gorgeous bay, with very safe bathing and also dramatic cliff tops too. The town has many lovely shops and lots of fantastic eating places around the harbour and further in the town too. It is facinating to also learn about the history of Swanage and the connections to London and royalty! It is the most wonderful family seaside location xxx
We were really well looked after as a large mixed age family by all the staff. They were all so polite, attentive and really kind.
The views were absolutely stunning from the bedrooms, conservatory and garden.
Having steps from the garden to the beach was fantastic and meant that we made full use of the beach.
We were all able to park our cars in the car park, but also did not feel the need to use them as walking along the beach to town was an easy option, not that we wanted to leave the hotel.
The evening meal was delicious.
Spacious, very clean, and well equipped.
The kitchen had a great gas cooker and oven. The microwave was good and was the kettle.
Beds are very comfy and bedding. They are good clean quality.
Bathroom clean with lovely shower.
The living had excellent seating with a very comfortable main sofa and a chair with leg rest.
The location is perfect since Swanage Beach is only 5 mins walk away.
Had a lovely stay at The Rookery. Located in a convenient spot, being a short walk to the beach and the township a little further on. Alan was a warm and welcoming host who was very responsive to any needs. The room was clean top to bottom and very comfortable. Added bonus was the fantastic breakfast's, with a wide range of choice and relaxed environment. Definitely recommend!
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.
beautiful location. despite not being beach facing, I was able to watch the sunset from my room window and watched the sunrise from the back of the hotel. easy to get to. staff were friendly and helpful. good selection for included breakfast. room quality was better than expected
Wonderful location, just on the coast and with private access to the beach. Can imagine that this facility is even more advantageous during the season. Proper sized garden where You can let the children run on the grass, good views from the windows, amazing surroundings.
Lovely B&B in the perfect location to walk into Swanage/explore the jurassic coast. Really good value for money, rooms were very clean. Breakfast was amazing!! Hosts were wonderful and loved the self-checkin boxes as we had multiple people sharing rooms and only one key
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.
great location in central Swanage - easy walk to town and beach, with plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. garden was a real oasis. the house is really fascinating, the beds really comfortable and the bathrooms lovely. plenty of space overall.
The hotel is easy to find in a great position for the beach & town. Easy parking & book in.
The room was lovely, clean, pretty, comfortable with everything we needed.
The breakfast was amazing, best we’ve ever had in a B & B
Thoroughly recommend this lovely hotel. Great location in centre of Swanage. Good restaurants nearby. 5 mins from beach. The family room was big & clean. Friendly helpful staff & great breakfast. Excellent value for money
The Hotel is right in the centre of Swanage so walking distance to the beach, shops and cafes. There is parking available which is also a real positive. The staff are very friendly and helpful too.
Very well equipped kitchen, good space and lovely additions such as wine, biscuits,milk and crisps on arrival. The flat was close to the beach and near the centre of Swanage.
The location is brilliant. Beds are comfortable. There is everything you need in the kitchen. Lots of space. Matt is usually very responsive and sorts and issues.
The location was perfect for a quiet stay and easy walk to town or beach. We thought it was empty…so quiet…yet fully booked. The breakfast was delicious.
Amazing position and private steps to beach. Very spacious and comfortable public areas all with sea views.
Very good breakfast included in room price.
