Spoil yourself at a Swanage hotel
A hotel break by the sea can be a real tonic, whether it's for a special occasion or just an opportunity to relax and unwind away from day-to-day life.
Swanage has three large, well-positioned hotels with restaurants and gardens, each adding a touch of luxury and comfort to your stay.
The Pines Hotel has a magnificent view over Swanage Bay. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the Isle of Wight in the cliff top garden or take the private steps down to the beach front where you can stroll into town at your leisure. Some of the bedrooms have sea views as well as balconies.
The Grand Hotel is a classic Victorian seaside hotel, offering its guests spectacular panoramic sea views from its restaurant and some of the bedrooms (some also have balconies too). The hotel has its own gym, heated indoor plunge pool, sauna and jacuzzi - all of which are complementary for hotel guests. You can enjoy a drink or meal in the hotel gardens and then walk down the steps onto the sandy beach below.
Located in the centre of Swanage is the Purbeck House Hotel. The hotel is a stunning Victorian building full of history, character and original charm, offering guests the atmosphere of a traditional country house with all the amenities of a modern hotel.
Book to stay at a Swanage B&B
One of the main advantages of staying in a bed & breakfast is that you receive an authentic, personalised and tailored experience. Your hosts will go out of their way to make you feel as welcome as possible. Whether it's homemade cake on arrival, insider tips of the best seafood restaurant in town, or suggestions of lesser-known hiking trails, your hosts will give you all the local knowledge you need.
Swanage has a fantastic range of individual and characterful properties, some in the heart of town close to the hubbub of shops, restaurants and bars, and others just a stone’s throw from the sea.
If you prefer, you can choose one of the many rural escapes just outside of Swanage for great access to countryside walks and far-reaching farmland views.
Whichever you decide upon, we can guarantee you’ll be well looked after here in Swanage.
Swanage is great base for a walking or cycling holiday
The Isle of Purbeck is a walker’s paradise. Swanage has plenty of guest houses that have facilities for people on a walking or cycling holiday, including baggage drops, drying rooms and secure cycle storage.
As well as making your stay as comfortable as possible with their extra facilities, your hosts will make sure you’re set up ready for a day of action-packed exploration with a hearty, homecooked breakfast.
To find suitable accommodation, look out for businesses showing the Walkers Welcome and Cyclists Welcome logos.
Accommodation for get-togethers and special events
Whether it's welcoming your wedding guests, a family get-together or friends meeting to take part in a sporting activity, you’ll find lots of places to stay in and around Swanage which offer group accommodation.
We always recommend booking in advance for groups as Swanage can be particularly busy around school holidays and peak times. Annual festivals such as Swanage Carnival are extremely popular and often result in many accommodation getting fully booked months in advance.
