    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.

    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.

    Our room was very nicely appointed with a generous bathroom. The bed was very comfy and we slept well. The receptionists and staff were most friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our motorbikes and our luggage at the hotel past check out time, while we explored Swanage which was very helpful. The cooked breakfast was very tasty. The garden at the rear of the property had a lovely sea view and access down a (long) stairway to the beach. At the end of a cul-de-sac in a residential area the hotel was in a very peaceful location.

    We 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 !

    Decoration of the house was great, the property was close to the sea and shops. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and more. In terms of location there were some nice places in Swanage, but the town needs a bit more investment and it would be nice if the architecture of some of the buildings complemented its surrounding a bit more. Beach was ok but not impressive. The best parts were the costal paths. Corfe caste / village and Worth Matravers worth visiting

    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.

    I had to find lodging on short notice after my business trip was interrupted, and stumbled across the Rookery. The location could not be better for accessing the beach and coastal trail, and it was only a bus ride to Poole/Bournemouth, with fantastic views along the way. Alan was also a fantastic and welcoming host, with a wealth of knowledge and recommendations for visiting the area.

    Everything !!! Swanage Haven is just that - a haven. From the moment we first crossed the threshold we knew that we had chosen a gem for our first stay in this part of Dorset. we have stayed in many B&Bs over the years and Swanage Haven is up there with the best of them. Thanks Tina and Amanda for a wonderful stay.

    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.
