Our first time in Swanage and it didn't disappoint. Greysteps was a very well appointed and comfortable place to stay in a perfect location with sea views and conveniently close to the town centre. The apartment had everything you needed to give you a home from home feel. There is a small sports facility opposite the premises with tennis courts aRead morend an eighteen hole putting range of which we had some fun on. Recommend Durlston Country park for some good walks along with Studland to Old Harry Rocks. The steam train to Corfe Castle is a must for a ltaste of nostalgia. Overall we had an enjoyable week in Swanage and the weather was perfect which of course always helps. Hide

We spent 3 nights at Greysteps in Swanage over Easter and quickly realized why the guest book is full of repeat visitors. This property is truly top-tier! The Views: Being on the top floor provides far-reaching, spectacular vistas over Swanage Bay. On a clear day, you can see The Needles on the Isle of Wight perfectly in the distancethe ideal baRead moreckdrop for a morning coffee! The Location: Its a quiet, peaceful "bolt hole" right by the park, yet only a stones throw from the beach and a gentle 10-minute stroll to the town center. The Comfort: Sparkling clean, bright, and very spacious. The beds are SO comfy, and the linen was crisp and fresh. The Perks: Having off-street parking is a huge win in Swanage. We also loved the lovely private garden and a kitchen that is stocked with every gadget you could possibly need. The Area: Swanage has a little of everything. From charming nick-nack shops, plenty of cafes and bars, and of course, countless fish and chip shops! Plus, you're only a short drive from some of the Jurassic Coast's most amazing natural wonders. A huge thank you to the host for such a seamless, welcoming stay. Swanage is fantastic, and Greysteps is undoubtedly the best place to see it from! Hide

Just spent a week here when walking the last part of the South West coast path. This is a great place to stay. Very spacious and comfortable and really well equipped. The location is perfect - very quiet yet only 10 minutes walk from the centre. We were able to make use of local buses which is always a help when doing a walk like that and only havRead moreing one car. The bus stops are very close by. The owner, Jennifer, responded to any queries really quickly. I would really recommend Jennifers place. Hide
