Jason & Sarah took over the Limes in July 2018 with their three sons. Our aim is to provide a relaxing, carefree and helpful service to all our guests. We thoroughly enjoy meeting new people, sharing experiences and offering suggestions in places to visit. Since taking over the Limes we have been busy with some refurbishments, we have created a new honesty bar, guest lounge and the dining room where you can enjoy your breakfast in a light, airy and relaxing space. We are looking forward to all new refurbs in the near future!
The Limes is situated in a residential area approximately 250 metres up a steep hill from Lower High Street. Therefor you have the bonus of being just a minute walk from all of the shops, bars & restaurants. Just a short stroll away is Swanage Pier & the beach which offers safe, clean bathing and dogs are not permitted from 30th April to 30th September. We have the benefit of enjoying some fine views across the bay from our front conservatory.
