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!

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.
Property is in a very convenient location, close to the beach and Swanage centre, with many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Living room is spacious with a large smart TV and books/games available for guests. Bedroom are large and beds are comfortable, with plenty of storage room for clothes/luggage. Kitchen is well equipped, with a small dishwasher and washing machine available. Bathroom is on the small side, but with a powerful shower. Overall, we were very happy with the property!
Amazing location, perched high above the beach with a panoramic views over stunning Swanage Bay. The staff were very friendly. 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 Wareham
The hotel itself was in the best location.wish I'd booked a sea view now.next time for sure.and there will be a next time.the room was fairly compact ,but clean and comfortable with a great view of the hills..
And then there was the breakfast. Omg,it was lovely..great choices too...
The staff were great as well...my 1st time in Swanage.wont be my last.
Easy walking distance into Swanage & right on top of the beach ⛱️ Friendly & helpful hosts who make you welcome & provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. Relaxing lounge to sit in & spotlessly clean venue. Amazing breakfast I highly recommend The Sandhaven & I can't wait to return again with my family.
The owner and staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is 5 star. Location is perfect, very near to the beach. My family and I are really happy with the stay. We are planning to go back.
One thing to improve is to install air-conditioner, then it will be perfect on hot days.
A traditional hotel in a great location for the beach and amenities in Swanage. It sits in an impressive Victorian building with its own garden space and is a few minutes walk from the beach, town centre shops and steam railway in Swanage.
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.
Thoroughly recommend this lovely hotel. Great location in centre of Swanage. Good restaurants nearby. 5 mins from beach. The family room was big & clean. Friendly helpful staff & great breakfast. Excellent value for money
Exceptional service and very polite and helpful staff. The evening meal is excellentl, beautifully presented and tasty. The waiting staff were brilliant. The hotel is in a wonderful position with easy access to the beach.
Great host, very friendly and helpful. The apartment is lovely, very stylish and spacious. The location is right next to the sea front, and handy for pubs and restaurants but also quite secluded and quiet so a great mix.
Small room but clean and comfortable with a sea view. Liked the steps down to the beach and the gate to the coastal walk. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and efficient.
Very well equipped kitchen, good space and lovely additions such as wine, biscuits,milk and crisps on arrival. The flat was close to the beach and near the centre of Swanage.
I visit swanage several times a year (I have family there) so I knew the location would be good. The parking was good. The apartment was very spacious and well kept.
This hotel is nicely located to restaurants, shopping and the beach. Room was adequate for two people, bathroom was clean. Staff friendly but not in your face.
