    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.

    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.

    Our room was very nicely appointed with a generous bathroom. The bed was very comfy and we slept well. The receptionists and staff were most friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our motorbikes and our luggage at the hotel past check out time, while we explored Swanage which was very helpful. The cooked breakfast was very tasty. The garden at the rear of the property had a lovely sea view and access down a (long) stairway to the beach. At the end of a cul-de-sac in a residential area the hotel was in a very peaceful location.

    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.

    We had a fab week staying at Arbour House B&B. Fraser and Sarah are great hosts and made us feel very welcome. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious and the breakfast was very tasty with a great selection to choose from. The B&B is in a great position within a few minutes walk of the beautiful sandy Swanage beach. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you Fraser and Sarah x

    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.

    The staff were all very friendly and courteous. The breakfast was good. The views of Swanage from the bar and restaurant were excellent. The garden was a lovely spot to relax. The beach access was also very convenient. It was also nice to see the hotel from everywhere along the Swanage sea front, which made me warm to it. Easy to buy into the romance of the grand old building.

    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.

    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 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.
