A wonderful stay once again and will come back every year. Always enjoy sitting by the window and looking out to see before bed. With breakfast and pancakes by the sea next door! Thank you! read more

Weston Dairy Farm

Fantastic camping. Relaxed owners, so campfires allowed and…read morethere's plenty of space even in high season to find your own corner. Portaloo toilets clean and plentiful, along with showers. And every morning there's breakfasts/hot drinks served by the 'farm girls'just the ticket if you don't want to wait half an hour for the kettle to boil. It's on the top of the hill by the coast, so take a windbreak and a bag of firewood. Nice walk to Renscombe beach, but there are better walks and beaches around. Good pubs nearby though, and walkable to Corfe to get the steam train to Swanage. £6 per person per night + £5 per car. It's basic, reasonable camping, where you are left to your own devices. We'll be returning soon!
Corfe Castle

Other than the castle, the village itself has a very inviting feel about it. You enter the castle…read morefrom the little square where there are a few shops and a monument in the middle. The square is very small! I don't know; I just found the place really calm and peaceful - most likely not this way during the tourist season but on a cold wet November late afternoon the atmosphere was at its best. The village isn't very big, so worth a little wander around and perhaps a stop in a pub and some of the shops.
Such a beautiful village - it hasn't changed much since I used to visit it over 40 years ago. The…read moreCastle is always worth a visit - you get in free if you're a National Trust member, and the parking at the visitor centre at the entrance to the village is also free to members. Try getting there early-morning before the crowds. Interesting little shops and the National Trust Tea Rooms does the best cream tea ever - sit in their garden overlooking the Castle. There's also a model village. The steam train runs from the Park & Ride at Norden (just before Corfe Castle village), stops at the village before chugging through the Purbecks onto Swanage. A good day's fun!
Town Hall Lodge

I'm pretty happy about being the first person to review this lovely B&B, as I hope someone else…read morestumbles across this amazing find and looks for reviews. I'd highly recommend anyone heading to Swanage to stay in this cute building. Located being the town hall, which is a gorgeous building itself, is a lovely lodge with a handful of neatly presented rooms. We stayed for a couple of nights and the hosts were extremely accommodating, even leaving their Friday night plans to come and meet us on our late arrival. The double room was a decent size, hand a huge comfy bed, a lovely tray of teas and coffees etc, and a neat, compact ensuite that looked brand new and squeaky clean and was full of lots of nice toiletries. The lodge is located on the high street, so very close to restaurants and the seashore. When we arrived late in the evening the host kindly informed us that most of the pubs had closed their kitchens but recommended a couple of nearby places that stay open later. We had a delicious meal in an Italian place he suggested we try - it was lovely. Breakfast was cooked and served in a gorgeous room. The options were great - full English, smoked salmon and eggs or kippers (whole or filler) and eggs. There was also a huge range of nuts, seeds, dried fruit and grains to make your own bespoke muesli as well as a variety of stewed fruits and yoghurts too. It was brilliant! Staying there for two nights meant we got to indulge in both the full English and fish breakfasts. To our delight, they also left a Kilner hat outside our room with freshly made cookies at mid morning too. It was such a nice touch! Everyone staying there was happy and the hosts made an effort to chat to us all and talk about different walks and places we could visit. They really went out of their way to make our stay brilliant. Definitely a rare gem in a crowded B&B market!

I think they also have static caravans but we just camped in a tent. The camping field was level in places but other areas were a bit bumpy and on a slope. The side has a pub, which had evening entertainment in the evenings. The food and drinks were reasonable priced. The campsite was quite expensive compared to other sites in the area but it is a large site. The site also has an outdoor pool which when we went was very dirty with grass and leaves in it! The owner of the site was very helpful and was around when needed. There was a reception area where you could go if you had any problems or questions they also sold some camping items.

WHICH IS 3 MINUTES WALKING FROM THE BEACH. you wouldn't know it when you arrive, but you are basically right at the foot of the sandiest beach i have yet to find in the UK. the owners are really nice and the breakfast was good. the hotel is small so they know who you are and are friendly. i had a single room so it was a bit small, but definitely adequate. i would be back in a heart beat during another sunny weekend.

Mudeford confuses many people because when they look for the beach they usually end up at the quay…read morewhich is on the opposite side of the narrow channel, the entrance to Christchurch Harbour. The current here is swift & ruthless but fun to watch. Mudeford Beach or Sandbank or Spit is at the tip of Hengistbury Head. There are lovely beaches particularly harbour side, masses of expensive beach huts, dunes, lovely walks & water sports in designated areas. There is no vehicular access. There is a large car park at Hengistbury Head and a land train that takes you out onto the Spit. It operates everyday except Christmas & really bad weather. Or if you prefer you can park at Mudeford Quay & take the ferry across. There is cafe & shops both sides plus a pub & fresh fish stall on the Quay side. This is a beautiful part of the country & one of my favourites especially on windy days in the winter. Will do a seperate review for Mudeford Quay as it is very different.

Debbie provided without request a fresh non-slip bath mat and clean travel cot for our youngest travel companion (my son was only a few months at the time) as well as a selection of baby friendly chopped fresh fruit and yogurts. Grown up breakfast is cooked fresh to your specification and worth the stay alone. Rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. The beds are the kind you don't want to get out of and sheets incredibly fresh and pressed. I've stayed here on a few of my trips down to Weymouth, always with my son and been well catered for. There's a nice lounge and ample parking for guests. Outside has decking and is well maintained. It's only a few yards round the corner to the sea and a short walk into the town centre. I'm always sad to leave which is a good thing

Let me preface by saying this hotel probably was Grand in its hay day but that was many years ago…read more I overall rated the hotel a 4 because the service is a 5 but the hotel rooms are a 3. Let's start with service. Every employees is very friendly and attentive to your needs. I stayed here with my husband in one room, my mother in law in another room and my sister and law and her family in one of the family rooms. Every morning we would go and order our made to order breakfast of bacon, toast, beans, sausage, full English, cheeses and hams, cereal, fruits etc... while at breakfast almost everyday, our room we be made up for the day. Fresh towels if we wanted and re-stocking of tea and biscuits in room. The bar staff were great and the one night we had dinner on site was great as well! The rooms... from what I've read the third floor was remodeled and those are the photos they use for the advertisements. We all had rooms on the second floor. Rooms 207, 208 and 209 to be exact. The furniture and decor is outdated and the bed was rather u comfortable to sleep on. The bathroom in 207 was very old and the shower was almost like a cave and had mold in it. I know it was clean but still is much to be desired. It was very hot for England last week when we were in Swanage and it was nice that the hotel provided fans in each room to get through the night. Room 208 was a family room and had a double bed and a single bead well as a larger updated bathroom. The big positive of this hotel is the views of the beach and town. It's a great location where you can walk down about 80 steps to the beach where there is nice sandy areas to lay out and there are two beach restaurants very close by for food and chair rentals. It only takes about 10 minutes to get into the center of town if walking as well! You cannot beat the location! Other amenities of the hotel include a small but old gym (don't expect top of the line machines here), a small pool and hot tub as well as a sauna on the bottom floor that walks out to the back garden and beach area. Overall even though it needs updated, the hotel was a nice and the service made up for the lack of remodeling.

It was very cold in there and needed the heating on all the time. Our only gripe was the bathroom, it was tired and dated and smelt of urine, even after cleaning it myself, it still had the smell. We were situated close to the entertainment complex which could be quite noisy when the late nighters were walking past. The complex was clean and well maintained, it was nice to see security who actually checked passes. The entertainment kept the children happy as did the arcades etc. The shop inside the live lounge is a complete rip off, cannot believe how much they were charging for the tat they were selling, shame. The pool was clean and my son loved the crazy river part of it. All the staff were friendly here. We ate in the on site restaurant for a dinner and breakfast, it was pretty average food, the guy who was waiting was very polite. It's not far from many outings, such as Durdle Door. The drive out has some fantastic views. We walked to Weymouth Beach/Bowleaze Cove and had a great day out along the coastline. You are also able to gain entrance to their smaller sister site, but we didn't find the time to do this. We've stayed at many Haven parks and this is by far the cleanest and friendliest, we would definately return.
