The sea view from our room was breathtaking and our balcony was perfect for capturing the morning sun with a cup of tea and a good book! I am still missing that view....

Purbeck House Hotel & Louisa Lodge
Hotel in Swanage
Nestled in extensive gardens in the centre of Swanage, Purbeck House Hotel & Louisa Lodge is a 5-minute walk from the beach.
Katherine
United Kingdom
Room was fabulous, spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were lovely, in quality and selection, and were served in the conservatory which was clean and bright. The staff were cheerful and helpful at all times. The location is ideal, being just a short walk into town, to the pier or to the beach. The car park ensures your car is safely tucked away and the garden is a delight for a bit of peaceful time. The building is full of local history, making it an interesting place to stay and we will definitely be going back. A warm sense of nostalgia bringing my 81 year old mum back to what was her convent 69 years ago!

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!KatherineUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

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.RobUnited Kingdom

Comfortable beds, and really nice living spaces. Bright and airy. Plenty of storage space. Plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans and crockery. Kitchen is small but perfectly functional and easy to cook a family meal. Nice to have shelves of books, games and puzzles (and netflix!). Nice to have a washing machine. We loved it and have booked again for next year!

Great location for town centre, beach and coastal walks etc. Did not need to use the car during our stay also the car park over the road was perfect for 24hr stay and only a pound during winter months.
