The building was amazing. And don't forget to ask at the front desk about the history book about the place, it has a scavenger hunt in it, and a prize if you find everything!

Sarah and Stephen offered great recommendations for exploring the area. Sara made us a delicious cake and provided a generous breakfast. We enjoyed sitting in their garden in the evening.

    I have always loved Swanage its a quintessential seaside town full of activity , I attend a Blues festival annually which is great. Pubs are friendly and plentiful and the fish & chips are outstanding. I would highly recommend a visit to Swanage, I love it and would live there if it suited my families lifestyle.

    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.

    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.
