Knoll House
7.8 (100 reviews)

Knoll House ★★★

📍 Ferry Rd, Studland, Swanage

"Fabulous location, just across from Knoll Beach. Tasty breakfast. Loved the retro, quirky feel of the hotel and its fabulous sea views. It would be nice if the new owners spent money on improving and refurbishing the hotel as is, rather than on trying to turn it into something different."

"Needed somewhere to eat in Swanage after 8pm on a Sunday and decided to try the Red Lion. The food was delicious and Turk (hope I spelled that right!) was excellent. He was helpful, friendly and professional (as were all the staff to be fair!) and made sure we were well looked after all night. Highly recommend."

Taunton House B&B ★★★

📍 4 Taunton Road, Swanage

"This friendly and welcoming b&b is in a quiet area with a very short walk to the town. The hosts are lovely and helpful. Car parking was no problem at all, free street parking on the quiet street behind the b&b. Our family room was immaculate. You select your breakfast in advance for the following morning. It was beautifully cooked. The hosts shared their local knowledge and gave us advice on what there is to do in swanage. We loved our weeks holiday and would recommend it."

Herston Caravan & Camping
7.6 (46 reviews)

Herston Caravan & Camping ★★★

📍 Washpond Lane, Swanage

"Me and my partner have spent the weekend at this campsite, this is our second time here. The showers and toilets are clean and it is a lovely cosy campsite. You can walk into Swanage - it is a nice and easy walk. Our family came to meet us at the campsite and then we walked into Swanage! The campsite itself has a lovely view from the sea view camping and is surrounded by lovely fields and hills which give a lovely atmosphere! The staff are friendly, kind and helpful! There is a shop which is open too! It has all the facilities you expect to find on a campsite! Thank you Herston! ️"

Knoll House ★★★
"This place capitalises on it's location by leaving rooms very very outdated. We didn't bother using the shower as the bathroom was unpleasant. However the communal areas are enjoyable and it's a lovely location."

The Red Lion Swanage ★★★
"I needed a single room for one night without it costing a fortune. The Red Lion ticked all the boxes and additionally provided off street parking at the top of the large beer garden. The Red Lion is a typical popular local historic pub serving good beer and pub grub. Breakfast was not included so I enjoyed a pleasant early morning short stroll to a lovely cafe opposite the harbour, where I received a 10% discount, as they have an arrangement with the Red Lion."

YHA Swanage ★★★
"Brilliant, I have never considered a YHA before and wish I had discovered this gem before. Really great location, clean, warm & friendly. I stayed in a room on my own which cost a tiny bit more but still very reasonable. I slept so well I didn't want to get up. I will stay again and look at other YHA's in other areas."
