Great communication in advance, warm welcome and Lyn and Kevin were friendly and super-helpful throughout.
Room was immaculately clean with a comfortable bed and large bathroom. Our delicious cooked breakfast was delivered to our room each morning. We really appreciated that our hosts had organised free parking permits for guests' use. Easy level walking distance to town centre and beach.

The entrance hallway is amazing. Giving a great first impression.
The visitor book gave a feel if a really friendly place to stay. I was happy I chose here as a big tick on my bucket list visiting the Jurassic coast.
I was nicely surprised to see i had been allocated a room with a double bed.
The room was spotless.
There was an information folder as expected advising of the facilities available, which were to my expectations when booking last year.
I was looking forward to meeting the hosts and experiencing their hospitality as reviewed many times with exceptional ratings, and the reason I chose here as a single traveller.
I arrived with an SMS message giving me my room number and access code for the key box.

Fish and chips on the front were superb, and there are lots of nice cafes. The pier is invigorating with fantastic views, the steam train station within a short walk, and a lovely long promenade to walk. There are a good number of welcoming pubs, and a variety of restaurants including pizza, mediteranean cuisine, indian takeaway, burgers, and wonderful bakeries offering Dorset apple cake, pasties and pastries.
Lots of interesting shops with Jurassic keepsakes, RNLI gifts, and antiques. There are supermarkets, a chemist, and cashpoints. Once down in the town and at the seafront, it is pretty flat, so easy to get a round, but the hills can make it a difficult climb back after a day on the beach!

Great traditional sea side town full of everything a family would need for a good holiday.
So many kinds of take away food, restaurants and chippies. Brilliant choice of shops for all tastes.
Steam train trips. Boat trips and crabbing in the small harbour.
Very long sandy beech and beautiful walks to be had along the bay and cliffs.
Bird watchers will enjoy the bird colonies along the cliffs.

Out of season Swanage is still charming. Small enough to walk round, but large enough to have a variety of shops and eateries. The Salt Pig was good for eating in. You can walk the coast path amongst other walks.

we only had two full days in Swanage in the middle of November, so our experience was not typical, We did look to drive into the town and park on the road by the side of the seafront, however the parking charge of £4.30 for the first hour put us off, who wants to benefit from 3 hours at £7.00 in November. As we didn't use the town car parks we cannot comment on the charges in them.
My husband has bad knees so we didn't park and walk around the town but there did seem to be some interesting little, individual shops as we drove through, We found Corfe Castle a delight to visit, especially the NT tea shop! We hope to go back.
Everything. All furnishings & food was all high class products. Kate has thought of everything you Need for a pleasant stay. Everything was spotless. The breakfast choice & food was delicious.
If your looking for a place to stay in swanage then this is the place. 10 minute walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay & Can not wait to return. We have also recommended family & friends too.
Staff are so welcoming & the young male staff at breakfast was very polite.
Customer service is 10/10
Lovely, homely apartment. Excellent location and great to have parking. Very short walk to beach and Swanage Railway.
Comfortable beds, and really nice living spaces. Bright and airy. Plenty of storage space.
Plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans and crockery. Kitchen is small but perfectly functional and easy to cook a family meal.
Nice to have shelves of books, games and puzzles (and netflix!).
Nice to have a washing machine.
We loved it and have booked again for next year!
We had the most beautiful room, with a sea view, overlooking Swanage and the hotel gardens and beach. A most exceptional location. Very clean, the staff were very kind and approachable. The shower in the bathroom was great. Lots of space, light and airy, with a large wardrobe for our clothes. The bed was huge, and very comfortable. We loved it.
Location great to explore the countryside and not too fat to walk to town. Overllooking the sea and beach was lovely. Great breakfast. Excellent quality, piping hot, plenty of choice. All staff super friendly and helpful. We took our bikes and explored around swanage and Studland to see more. For us everything was perfect and we will return.
The hotel location was superb, with a short walk to the beach, coast path and other footpaths. Walking distance to Swanage too. The room was nice and very quiet. I liked the large lounge/bar area and the garden. The dining room was bright and spacious and the breakfast was nice. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly.
Easy walking distance into Swanage & right on top of the beach ⛱️ Friendly & helpful hosts who make you welcome & provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. Relaxing lounge to sit in & spotlessly clean venue. Amazing breakfast I highly recommend The Sandhaven & I can't wait to return again with my family.
The apartment was very spacious and the cleanliness was very thorough and the whole interior smelt divine. Good sized rooms and felt very homely. Very good insulation and only a short stroll into the town and the beach. Modern interior with great use of the space in relation to the kitchen and mezzanine lounge.
Everything was spotless and amazingly well organised. Alan, the Proprietor, could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was lovely and there were little details we had not expected, eg bottled water every morning. We had car parking space in the centre of Swanage and a short stroll to the beach.
The apartment is centrally located in the heart of Swanage, ideal base for exploring Dorset's Jurassic coast. The apartment is spacious and one of six in the block. It has a well equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. The apartment is well presented with modern fixtures and fittings.
great location in central Swanage - easy walk to town and beach, with plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. garden was a real oasis. the house is really fascinating, the beds really comfortable and the bathrooms lovely. plenty of space overall.
The room and en suite were excellent, good choice of teas and coffee in the room. The breakfast choice was great, the best we have had in any Guest House. Swanage Haven Boutique Hotel
is a place that we will certainly return to.
Great host, very friendly and helpful. The apartment is lovely, very stylish and spacious. The location is right next to the sea front, and handy for pubs and restaurants but also quite secluded and quiet so a great mix.
I would like say huge Thank You to lady who let me stay very late in night after I found out my previous booking was canceled.
The property is in great location, not far from beach,such a nice room. Thank You!
