Swanage Hotels and Accommodation

(Swanage, Dorset, England, UK)

The seaside town of Swanage is at its busiest during the summer season, between June and September. The demand for accommodation peaks in July and August, when the beaches of Swanage attract crowds of sunbathers and families.

At this time, the various hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs and self-catering lodging around central Swanage are in great demand, and so you may find it difficult to find available accommodation without prior booking. In recent years, the number of hotels and guesthouses in the town have decreased slightly, while rental flats and holiday cottages available for short periods are becoming more commonplace.

Where to Stay

Accommodation in the very centre of Swanage is generally the most sought after, particularly when hotels are close to the beachfront. The most popular lodging includes Purbeck House on the High Street, and also the Pines Hotel and the Grand Hotel, both of which reside on Burlington Road, overlooking the bay and Peveril Point.

Guesthouses in Swanage tend to be much easier to come by and are quite apparent along Highcliffe Road, Park Road, Victoria Avenue and Walrond Road. If you are looking for budget accommodation in Swanage, then you will certainly struggle and may like to consider camping at one of the many outlying campsites, which number more than 20 in total, and include highlights such as the Burnbake Camping Site, the Swanage Coastal Park, Ulwell Cottage Caravan Park and Woodyhyde Camp Site.

For a further choice of lodging, consider looking for hotels in Bournemouth, accommodation in Poole and guesthouses in Studland, all of which are especially near to Swanage and competitively priced.
