This hotel wins hands down because of its location and views. We had a ground floor room with patio doors onto the garden with stunning sea views.
The room has been updated and was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The linen and facilities within the room were fairly new and very clean. The room was comfortable, bright and airy.
The dining area is modern and again benefits from stunning sea views. The staff who served breakfast were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good with a selection of hot and cold food. The quality was very high.

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.

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.AnnaUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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

- 8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 535 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 !
