    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

    Lots of very good and varied eating houses lots of good pubs, amazing steaks at the Red Lion, excellent drink, food and friendly service at the Ship Inn and although out of the Town centre The Crows Nest was very good. Swanage is not a drivers paradise, much easier to park up and walk round. Most impressive shop in Swanage was Curiosity gift shop, you can loose yourself in there for hours.

    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 !

    We had a fab time in Little Hyde Cottage. It is very quiant and homely with everything you need for your break/holiday. Lovely little courtyard garden. Brilliant location 10 minutes into town and beach. Very dog friendly. Key collection very easy. Parking is a bit of a pain but off loaded luggage then parked up road. When these cottages were built there weren't cars! Wonderful cottage in lovely Swanage. Would definiately recommend and we will definiately stay there again. The Swann family and dog 14.5 to 17.5.21

    The room was clean, well kept, simple and had everything we needed. John and Martine were fantastic hosts! The breakfast was freshly cooked each morning and service was impeccable. The hosts made us feel like nothing was too much to ask. They even added little extras to our room without us asking, like a basket for our little nik naks to keep safe and trinket dishes for jewellery. Breakfast was easy to order and straightforward. Location is amazing! A 1 minute walk down to Swanage beach. Some spaces for cars.

    Lovely, homely apartment. Excellent location and great to have parking. Very short walk to beach and Swanage Railway. Comfortable beds, and really nice living spaces. Bright and airy. Plenty of storage space. Plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans and crockery. Kitchen is small but perfectly functional and easy to cook a family meal. Nice to have shelves of books, games and puzzles (and netflix!). Nice to have a washing machine. We loved it and have booked again for next year!

    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.

    Beautiful, light and spacious. Excellent location and having a dedicated parking space in the centre of Swanage (by experience), is a luxury. It is up a hill, but you can drop bags off first. The apartment was clean, quiet and has everything you'd need for a great short or long stay holiday! The hosts are great at keeping in touch should you need anything.

    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.

    Great welcome from the host. Lovely large and airy house and our room (1) had large windows letting in lots of light. Breakfast was superb and generous - very hot cooked to order! Location was fine - out of Swanage centre but a pleasant walk along the beachfront to get to the town's facilities. Quiet with no traffic noise at night.

    We were fortunate to arrive when the small car park had a space. The breakfast was cooked to order placed the night before and was excellent. Our room was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The check in and check out procedures were the best I have ever experienced when staying in any hotel.
