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

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!

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.
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.
The Rookery is in an ideal location within easy walking distance of the beach and the town of Swanage. The hosts were very welcoming and went to great length to explain everything about the hotel and the location. The rooms were comfortable and decorated to very high standards and the ensuite was well equipped although has to be described as 'cozy'. Breakfast was well organised, tasty and of a high standard.
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.
We were fortunate to arrive when the small car park had a space.
The breakfast was cooked to order placed the night before and was excellent.
Our room was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable.
The check in and check out procedures were the best I have ever experienced when staying in any hotel.
Every evening we returned a form which we had filled in with our breakfast-wishes. We could choose between SO MUCH.
Our triple bedroom was spacious, the hotel is next door to the path to the beach. In the reception is a fridge with ice cold water to take to your room + fresh milk for your tea.
The cottage was beautiful and well equipped. communication from the host was excellent. we stayed with our two teenage sons and there was ample space for us all. having towels, and cleaning supplies included was a bonus too! short walk to swanage high street and the beach. perfect relaxing stay
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.
It is a very spacious apartment and has all the facilities you could need. A very thoughtful addition is the owner left wine, cider and chocolate biscuits as well as cereals and tea bags. The beach is within walking distance and Swanage is a lovely family seaside.
Lovely spacious property, very close to town centre, beach etc. Plenty of kitchen equipment, tea towels, loo rolls and bath towels. Comfortable beds. Owners very quick to respond to queries and left a home made cake for us on arrival!
The room and en suite were excellent, good choice of teas and coffee in the room. The breakfast choice was great, the best we have had in any Guest House. Swanage Haven Boutique Hotel
is a place that we will certainly return to.
The hotel and rooms were lovely. The hosts were very accomodating and friendly. Breakfast was good. the hotel is a short walk to the beach and beyond that the town centre. We would definitely come back next time we are in Swanage!
The flat is gorgeous, very comfortable and in a perfect location- so close to the beach! Check-in & check-out couldn't have been easier and the host is helpful & friendly. We are already thinking of returning!
Great place to stay, exceptional clean, excellent hosts can't do enough for you, brilliant tasty breakfast. Really is only 5 min walk to beach and 10 min seafront walk to Town. Would thoroughly recommend
proximity to the beach with private steps and gate. attic room with fabulous views in both directions. sound of the sea at night. delicious menu which changed daily, and excellent wines.
Very good breakfast. Nice room with beautiful view. Used the pool and jacuzi facilities which were good. Had an excellent massage from the girl at the spa.
Amazing position and private steps to beach. Very spacious and comfortable public areas all with sea views.
Very good breakfast included in room price.
