Excellent breakfast, hot items were hot and tasty. Plenty of choice and good quality. Room was clean, comfortable, with plugs near mirror for hair drying. Kettle, bottle of water, tea, coffee, milk and biscuits very much appreciated. All staff we dealt with were genuinely friendly and perfect service. They seemed to be genuinely wanting us to enjoy the hotel. Plenty of space and good seating near bar and adjoining lounge to enjoy the sea view and go out into the garden.

Claire the owner was very welcoming and couldn’t do enough extras for us to make our stay a comfortable one. This included allowing us to use her boiler room to hang our wet scuba diving kit to dry overnight and made us packed lunch as we left too early for breakfast. Would definitely come back to stay on our next trip to Swanage

Very comfortable property in excellent location, close to everything we needed, such as shops, buses, the Swanage Railway and seafront.
Because there is limited parking outside the house, our hosts helpfully provided a free pass for the main beach car park.

Fish and chips on the front were superb, and there are lots of nice cafes. The pier is invigorating with fantastic views, the steam train station within a short walk, and a lovely long promenade to walk. There are a good number of welcoming pubs, and a variety of restaurants including pizza, mediteranean cuisine, indian takeaway, burgers, and wonderful bakeries offering Dorset apple cake, pasties and pastries. Lots of interesting shops with Jurassic keepsakes, RNLI gifts, and antiques. There are supermarkets, a chemist, and cashpoints. Once down in the town and at the seafront, it is pretty flat, so easy to get a round, but the hills can make it a difficult climb back after a day on the beach!KatherineUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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.

- 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 537 reviewsI have to start by saying that John and Martine are so welcoming and friendly, you feel at home immediately. Easy to check in to your room. Location is great. An easy short walk to the seafront and town centre. There is a pub three doors away that does decent food. The number 50 bus stop is outside the pub. This direction takes you to the swanage ferry and onwards to bournemouth. Breakfast is cooked fresh when you arrive to the room, there is a big range of food to choose from and if you leave there still hungry its your own fault.
HelenUnited Kingdom - 8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 543 reviewsWe 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 !
NickyUnited Kingdom - 8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 27 reviewsLovely, 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!
ClareUnited Kingdom - 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 33 reviewsThis apartment is in a superb location, on the ground floor, and just a few minutes walk to the beach, parks, amusements, town centre and of course, the great Swanage Railway station. It includes 2 free parking spaces - which are essential for this town in summer. The kitchen area is brand new and everything works smoothly. Jo was very helpful and quick to respond to guide us on a few initial queries to get us settled in. Would certainly consider returning.RoyUnited Kingdom
