This is a beautiful welcoming B&B situated in a perfect location less than 5minute walk from the sea front. This B&B offers its own car park which is very handy as parking round there is not very good when it is a bank holiday weekend. The bedrooms are comfortable, very spacious and nicely furnished with facilities of tea and coffee... More

We stayed in the family room for a couple of nights over the bank holiday and it was our second time at the Limes. The owner Lynn is very friendly and helpful, making the B&B a good choice for exploring the area. It's also dog friendly which was handy for us but the rooms and communal areas were all very... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Limes for the second time recently and, as before, we were very well looked after and very comfortable. The owners and staff are extremely pleasant and helpful and the breakfasts are amazing. We had our dog with us and she really enjoyed all the fuss and attention and we felt very relaxed taking...

This is our second stay at The Limes and yet again we weren't disappointed! A had a very comfortable room with a sea view. The breakfasts are delicious and because we had Alfie the dog with us we ate it in the sun room which has a gorgeous view of Swanage and the beach! Thank you Lynn and Declan for... More

Had a very nice stay at the Limes. We made a last minute trip to Swanage for Easter, but having the dog in tow limited our options. We were lucky to be able to stay for the one night (would have stayed longer if availability was there) in this fantastic B&B. Hosts, who've been running the Limes for 15 years,... More

We've recently returned from a short break at The Limes with our dog and teenage daughter. Everything was of a high standard; room and ensuite were spacious, location is an easy walk to the town. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, dog and daughter made very welcome, breakfast first class. Would happily return and recommend.

We stayed there for only one night because there was a problem with our original hotel room. Although everything was clean and tidy. We found the place quite cold. Breakfast was ok but the friendliness we enjoyed in the other hotel, and Swanage in general was not shared in the Limes. You have to walk up hill to get to... More

My husband, 91 year old mother in law, dog and self have just spent 2 nights at the Limes and found it to be an excellent place to stay. It is the sort of accommodation which will cater for all types of people as they have thought through things that their guests may like - lots of books, comfortable lounge,... More

Took my wife for a surprise anniversary stay in Swanage as we'd not been there for years. We chose The Limes and were glad we did. Good central location within an easy walk of town centre and nice views over the bay of Swanage. Friendly, helpful and welcoming hosts and the breakfast was excellent. Comfortable room and a nice bathroom.... More
