Top Swanage Hotel Reviews

Laguna Hotel

Laguna Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is our second time back at the laguna and we will be back again next year. The hotel is clean and tidy and our son loves the pool and games room which is a great addition for a hotel which is very reasonably priced. The location is great and near the town centre, with the beach and pier only a short walk away. The hotel has everything for a great family stay who want to go out and explore. The staff are always so kind and helpful too and I don’t have anything negative to say about the Laguna."

Haven Hotel

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good
"Our room was lovely and spotlessly clean but our bathroom was tired and dated and lacked anywhere to put our own items. However, the hotel’s situation was stunning and worth every penny of the cost. The wonderful scenery and views as well as a great sized heated pool with immediate access to a beautiful beach meant that there was really no need to leave the hotel."
