There is also The Old Mess Room, which during the summer months serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus there is a takeaway service! Head into Swanage where you can stroll along the seafront and visit the pier, before grabbing fish and chips from a seafront café or choosing from a selection of restaurants, with The Salt Pig Too and Gee Whites Seafood Restaurant. Train enthusiasts can visit the heritage railway station and board a steam engine to Corfe Castle and Norden, whilst on those sunny afternoons, head to Swanage Beach and lounge on the golden sands and swim in the shores. If you’re looking to get your steps in, join the South West Coastal Path and hike to Studland & Goldingston Heath, or take yourself further afield and see the city attractions of Bournemouth.
