FAQs about hotels in Swanage

What guests said about Swanage:

    What a gem of a seaside town.

    What a gem of a seaside town. The breathtaking scenery of the Jurassic coast with Corfe Castle looming in the near distance... Great pubs and places to eat; fresh pastries and decent coffee. The steam railway, South West Coast Path - and the rose gold sands in front of jaunty beach huts combine to create an atmosphere lost by so many larger, once grander resorts. Some steep hills make the town potentially challenging for wheelchairs. Visiting in autumn when the town had a buzz was fun - unsure about high season visitor volumes and how the small town manages?

    I really liked Swanage.

    I really liked Swanage. There is wonderful walking on the Coastal Path and across the fields, on walks that are accessible by public bus. The Swanage Railway outing to Corfe Castle and the Mining Museum is a very good day out. The town itself has everything that a visitor needs in terms of supermarkets and restaurants and pubs. There is an excellent fish and chips place (The Fish Plaice) right on the square by the quay. Try the Cornish Bakery, too.

    A delightful little historical seaside town with easy walking access to a range of interesting shops and plenty of coffee places. Lots to do for all ages including the railway, museum and pier. We loved the beach and my grandson enjoyed the playground with the best views ever.

    Lovely seaside town with extraordinary beach and vista; we also like the shops, Steam Railway and the layout of the town. Lovely Cafe for Lunch where we waited to board the Waverly Paddle Steamer. A trip of the Swanage Steam Railway. A superb visit.

    We only stayed in Swanage as we know it well but we had an appointment in Poole on one day and walked to the Old Harry Rocks from the Bankes Arms in Studland on another. We ate out in Swanage each evening enjoying looking out to sea in the sunshine.

    Lovely place for a weeks holiday, Swanage has many eating places, sometimes pricey. And the good ones are all reserved quickly. So you have to be quick! Durston park was very good for a walk which is nearby. Corfe Castle too steep for us. The steam train quite expensive for only a few miles from Swanage.

    I stayed in the Louisa Lodge, lovely spacious room felt really comfortable and relaxed. I wasn't sure what to expect staying in the lodge instead of the main hotel but it really didn't make any difference about a minutes walk through the garden to get to main hotel, for the bar and Breakfast. Breakfast was excellent and good value for money. All the staff were friendly, approachable and helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent quick easy access to the main town centre and of course the beach!

    It was a spacious room with a good bathroom. The shower was excellent. Best one so far. We had a great view of Swanage. It was a good walk along the promenade to town. The staff were excellent. Food was very good. The gym had a jacuzzi and a sauna. Loads of workout equipment.

    This is my second stay at this property now and we have had the best time. Great location easy to walk to the beach and various different places for dinner etc. Also a bonus having the parking space opposite parking in Swanage can be hard at times especially carnival week.
