When we arrived the family room that we were given was tired, dated and overlooked a grim car park. Our request for two rooms on the same floor wasn’t catered for. The second room was on a different floor and was really good, updated, wonderful view. We then requested a different room for the family. This was catered for quickly, the staff were amazing and we had a lovely room on the same floor as our family member with another wonderful view.. The entire staff team are amazing and a credit to the hotel. From a very disappointing beginning and needing to move our belongings etc after having unpacked, our stay became excellent.

I stayed in the Louisa Lodge, lovely spacious room felt really comfortable and relaxed. I wasn't sure what to expect staying in the lodge instead of the main hotel but it really didn't make any difference about a minutes walk through the garden to get to main hotel, for the bar and Breakfast. Breakfast was excellent and good value for money. All the staff were friendly, approachable and helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent quick easy access to the main town centre and of course the beach!

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. 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.PeterUnited Kingdom - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.

Excellent location and having a dedicated parking space in the centre of Swanage (by experience), is a luxury. It is up a hill, but you can drop bags off first. The apartment was clean, quiet and has everything you'd need for a great short or long stay holiday! The hosts are great at keeping in touch should you need anything.LucyUnited Kingdom
