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.

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.

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
