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.William JOhnUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.

Swanage is one of my most favourite seaside towns!
Swanage is one of my most favourite seaside towns! It is an absolutely beautiful town with a gorgeous bay, with very safe bathing and also dramatic cliff tops too. The town has many lovely shops and lots of fantastic eating places around the harbour and further in the town too. It is facinating to also learn about the history of Swanage and the connections to London and royalty! It is the most wonderful family seaside location xxxSarahUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

Lots of very good and varied eating houses lots of good pubs, amazing steaks at the Red Lion, excellent drink, food and friendly service at the Ship Inn and although out of the Town centre The Crows Nest was very good. Swanage is not a drivers paradise, much easier to park up and walk round. Most impressive shop in Swanage was Curiosity gift shop, you can loose yourself in there for hours.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom

- 9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 516 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· 532 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

Rooms were clean and comfortable. My mother had a wonderful massage at the spa. A 10-15 minute stroll into town . I will definitely return to this hotel as it is good value. Loads to see and do nearby Durlestone, Corfe Castle ( wear good walking shoes) and even an evening at the tiny Rex Cinema in WarehamAnne-MarieUnited Kingdom
