My wife and I had a week at the Limes which we enjoyed very much. We took our dog who was welcomed like one of the family. This hotel has delightful staff and serves a wonderful full English breakfast that would put many so-called 5 star hotel to shame. The hotel has great facilities which we made full use of,... More

I was keen to return to Swanage after a gap of nearly 45 years and my wife and I selected The Limes because it seemed to offer everything that we required and oh boy we weren't wrong. Millie, our little Jack Russell, appeared to like it as it was just like home from home. Probably the most dog friendly guest... More

We stayed at the Limes with friends who were getting married. They had booked the rooms and chose the location as it came highly recommended and they have 2 small dogs. As a non dog owner who had pre conceptions of a dog friendly hotel, I was impressed with the cleanliness of the whole guesthouse. The hosts were friendly and... More

The Limes is a great little spot in Swanage in a fanatasic location - just a 30 second walk to the town centre (albeit up a hill) it is still far away enough to provide the peace and quiet needed for a good night's sleep. We stayed with our Jack Russell (Rosie) as part of a mini dog-holiday and it... More

Great location, spacious, light & very clean bedroom, nice bright dining and lounge areas with small bar and pool table, great views of seafront from conservatory at the front, lovely owners and staff. All in all a lovely place to stay in Swanage. Our 12 year old son really enjoyed himself. The only reason I didn't give this place 5... More

Our stay at The Limes was perfect. Lovely hosts, always there to give very helpful advise. Familiar and informal atmosphere, clean and large rooms and the best breakfasts ever. A very short stroll to the beach, the pier and Durlston country park. A neat and comfortable place to stay and to come back to. More

Lyn and Declan are so helpful and friendly. Declan runs a great bar, plus he cooks the breakfasts, which are sooo good! They both know the town so well, so we always check with them first before deciding on where to eat in the evening. More
