8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (1)
"The hostel is very close (a few minutes on foot) to the beach and to the town centre (important: for the town centre go the opposite way from the way to the beach:) You will get there in a few minutes on foot rather than half an hour or so going in a long circle - as I did with my kids! - the other way).

"The property was very charming and clean. I personally could not do the 15 minute walks to the local shops etc due to mobility issues so had to use the car all the time. Swanage is a lovely place to stay with some scenic views and friendly people. "

"We stayed over the New Year and would recommend, as Swanage stayed open and there was lots to see and do. The accommodation was perfect, being in the heart of town but still peaceful and close to beach. We found on street parking easy."
