    personalized breakfast
    honesty bar

    Delightful, Delightful, Delightful

    I loved the personalized breakfast service that was pre-ordered the night before, making my mornings feel special and effortless! The honesty bar in the lounge added a wonderful communal vibe, perfect for mingling with other guests over a drink. Plus, having fresh milk on hand for my tea made my stay feel extra cozy.

    would recommend ❤️😊

    comfortable bed
    refreshing lounge area
    limited dining options

    great location but limited dining options

    During my stay, I appreciated the welcoming atmosphere of the lounge area, providing a nice space to unwind. The availability of fresh milk, along with a selection of decaf teabags, made my tea breaks exceptionally enjoyable.

    The hotel could improve its dining options.

    spacious room
    delightful breakfast
    nice selection
    steep hill

    Had a great time with friends! The room was spacious, and we really enjoyed the selection of board games and the cozy books available. Breakfast was delightful with plenty of choices. Just a heads up, the parking is a bit tight, but we managed fine.

    The hill leading up was quite steep, which could be tough for some guests.

    lending library
    friendly staff
    great breakfast
    small car park

    Had a fantastic group trip with friends! We loved playing board games and diving into the lending library. The breakfasts were delightful, and the staff were super friendly. Just a heads up, the steep hill is a workout but the views are worth it!

    The small rear car park was a bit tricky for our larger vehicle, making parking somewhat of a challenge at times.

    clean accommodation
    beautiful view
    cold bathroom
    warm bedroom

    The Limes offers a charming stay with its cleanliness and relaxing atmosphere, though the bathroom felt a bit cold while the bedroom was quite warm. Enjoyed the beautiful conservatory view and convenient parking, ideal for local nature exploration. a pleasant experience worth repeating.

    excellent breakfast
    great location
    local eateries
    steep hill
    narrow stair treads

    Absolutely loved the breakfast at Limes—truly top-notch! Plus, it's a hop away from fab local spots like the White Horse Inn and the Fish Plaice, perfect for a proper feed after exploring. The location was a sweet bonus, right on the doorstep of Swanage’s best attractions.

    The climb to the hotel was a bit of a trek with steep roads, which may not suit all drivers. the narrow stair treads could be tricky when hauling heavy bags—just something to bear in mind!

    great location
    nice size room
    tea and coffee facilities
    dietary oversight
    limited milk options

    The location was fantastic, only a short walk to local attractions like the beach and the museum. The room was a good size, and it had nice tea and coffee making facilities, which made our stay comfortable. it was a bit disappointing that my dietary needs weren't fully considered, as there was only regular milk available for drinks. it was a pleasant place to stay, especially for exploring the nearby nature reserves.

    clean
    dog friendly
    great location
    weak shower
    soft mattress

    had a really nice time at the limes, super clean n stylish, liked the honesty bar for chillin and meetin other guests. breakfast was yum and they had a good variety, also loved that its a dog friendly place. the location is perfect n close to the beach, only a short walk to town!

    the shower was a bit weak and the mattress felt too soft for me, but i guess that's just personal preference.

    honesty bar
    lending library
    cozy atmosphere
    misleading breakfast

    Quaint vibes hit you the moment you step in, with a cozy honesty bar perfect for chilling out after a long day. The lovely lending library and selection of board games kept things interesting while the local area offered plenty to explore with friends.

    Room 11 is a unique gem but expected a king size bed and found two divans instead. There was a noticeable ridge between the mattresses, not the best for a good night's sleep. Breakfast options were misleading. advertised but ultimately not offered. The self-service aspect felt more impersonal, with limited direct communication from staff during the stay, leaving me feeling a bit stranded without guidance.

    100% recommend for a weekend pause

    Clean room, great breakfast, the room included an electric kettle and flat-screen TV for extra comfort, and it’s also just a short walk from the train/bus station, making it convenient to explore the area.

    Was all great.

    clean spacious room
    comfy bed
    fresh decor
    weird bathroom layout
    narrow stairs

    The room was clean and spacious, with large windows letting in great light. Bed was super comfy, didn't want to get out of it! The decor felt fresh and inviting, really enjoyed the vibe. There were some nice touches like a fridge with fresh milk for drinks. Only downside was the bathroom layout. sink in the bedroom felt a bit weird for me, but that’s just a personal thing.
