The location and sea view is excellent, quiet, and the rooms very comfy. We had an upgraded room with balcony which had sea view. Lovely garden and lift to all floors. The lounge area with bar was relaxing. Breakfast was more than adequate from buffet to pre-select menu items. We skipped lunch but the dinner menu was limited but adequate. To\he hotel is situated on a low level cliff with a safe stairway to the beach. Being elderly we chose a short drive to the beach. The staff were very helpful and friendly, we enjoyed our stay enormously.

The building was amazing. And don't forget to ask at the front desk about the history book about the place, it has a scavenger hunt in it, and a prize if you find everything!

Sarah and Stephen offered great recommendations for exploring the area. Sara made us a delicious cake and provided a generous breakfast. We enjoyed sitting in their garden in the evening.

    I have always loved Swanage its a quintessential seaside town full of activity , I attend a Blues festival annually which is great. Pubs are friendly and plentiful and the fish & chips are outstanding. I would highly recommend a visit to Swanage, I love it and would live there if it suited my families lifestyle.

    What a gem of a seaside town.

    What a gem of a seaside town. The breathtaking scenery of the Jurassic coast with Corfe Castle looming in the near distance... Great pubs and places to eat; fresh pastries and decent coffee. The steam railway, South West Coast Path - and the rose gold sands in front of jaunty beach huts combine to create an atmosphere lost by so many larger, once grander resorts. Some steep hills make the town potentially challenging for wheelchairs. Visiting in autumn when the town had a buzz was fun - unsure about high season visitor volumes and how the small town manages?

    I really liked Swanage.

    I really liked Swanage. There is wonderful walking on the Coastal Path and across the fields, on walks that are accessible by public bus. The Swanage Railway outing to Corfe Castle and the Mining Museum is a very good day out. The town itself has everything that a visitor needs in terms of supermarkets and restaurants and pubs. There is an excellent fish and chips place (The Fish Plaice) right on the square by the quay. Try the Cornish Bakery, too.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Pines. The staff were unfailingly welcoming, helpful and friendly. The sea view from room 41 was beautiful and we throughly enjoyed the unexpected bonus of being able to access the beach from the hotel garden (via steep but well-maintained steps) giving us the opportunity to walk into Swanage. Breakfasts were excellent, as was the meal we booked for our first night. Thanks to all the staff for an excellent visit.

    Swanage is a delightful Victorian seaside resort in the glorious Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. It is one of the most beautiful areas in the whole of the UK. This B&B is ideally located near the beach. It represents really good value for money, with excellent breakfasts, lovely owners and good accessibility to all the sights. We really enjoyed our stay.

    The ambience of this Edwardian hotel and the magnificent views of Swanage Bay is the best in Swanage. Had a lovely evening meal and my room overlooking the sea was super comfy. Felt very safe as a solo traveller and staff very friendly.
