斯沃尼奇青年旅舍

YHA swanage was a lovely location with good parking and a period building lovely views from our room of Swanage bay and cliffs. Staff were helpful and friendly. Suprisingly the rooms were very warm even though the radiators were off. Facilities were more than adequate. It was a bargin staying only for one night in a private room with ensuite 2 adults and 2 children and breakfast for 4 people for under £90

YHA Swanage was the perfect base for our U13's Rugby Tour. We were a group of 59 and the various YHA teams we dealt with made the booking process so easy. When we arrived in Swanage the hostel was spotlessly clean and well appointed, At all times the staff were friendly and really helpful.

I was planning on booking the youth hostel for our visit to Swanage this month and upon finding out their plans to cut down 36…. Yes you read that correctly, 36 trees some very mature, despite there being an order in place for tree reservation in the area, we decided that this wouldn’t be the place for us. It is such a shame as the hostel has fantastic reviews BUT I would rather pay to stay somewhere that is in support of protecting the beauty and nature in Swanage.

Having stayed here recently, I was considering staying again till I learnt YHA plans to cut down half the trees on their land, despite tree preservation orders to protect them. The trees are not causing any harm or damage and are healthy. There is absolutely no excuse for cutting down healthy protected trees, especially in the current ecological climate we're in. We need to be safeguarding trees and the vital habitats they provide, not destroying them. It is in such a beautiful location, the walk into town and to the sea is ideal. I won't be recommend to anyone unless YHA sees sense and stops the plans to fell the beautiful trees.

I used to recommend YHA to friends coming to stay in the area but am so shocked at their plan to destroy 36 trees on their land (ash, elm, sycamore, cherry...!), despite tree preservation orders to protect them, and despite their ecological value and the wealth of biodiversity and wildlife present. In our current climate this is a horrific, senseless action that local residents are trying to stop!

I had planned to book to stay here whilst visiting some friends, however I've just found out that they plan to fell mature trees around the building which are under a preservation order, purely for aesthetic reasons, so there's no way I'm booking now! They clearly have no respect or care for nature and I don't feel comfortable giving money to businesses with those values.
