Swanage is a small, family-friendly beach town on the renowned Isle of Purbeck, at the eastern extremity of Dorset's renowned Jurassic Coast. Swanage is arguably best known for its lovely, gently sloping golden sands. The small town is well renowned for its annual jazz festival, which is held in July, and for its abundance of stores, fine taverns, and restaurants, some of which specialise in locally caught seafood. The charming Victorian wooden pier is a lovely spot to promenade, go fishing, or just sit and take in the sights. It's also a popular starting point for divers. Regular vintage steam engine excursions transport tourists on a charming 6-mile journey, chugging through gorgeous countryside to stop just beyond the romantic ruin of Corfe Castle, from the town's terminal on the historic Swanage Railway.

Elaine
! Really comfortable accommodation and very well thought out facilities. A really lovely touch was the provision of tea and coffee and little things like cling film and tin foil. To top it all was the delicious scones, jam and clotted cream, such a great surprise!!! Thank you so much. Elaine Weymouth

The conservatory is a great space and the patio was perfect for breakfast and evening drinks! The property, whilst obviously an older building has been decorated with a modern and fresh take. There were little detail that were well thought eg, soap, extra toilet rolls, silver foil, hair dryer - the list goes on. It was a great to see a washing machine which I donât think is listed on the property description, we didnât actually use it but could be useful to know is there. Location is great. We would definitely book there again if we are in the area.
