Studio South is such a lovely spot in Swanage! The coffee is always spot-on, and the pastries are delicious. I love the cozy vibe—perfect for a relaxed chat with a friend or spending some quiet time with a book. Plus, their art supplies shop in the back is a hidden gem. Definitely worth a visit!

Dorset Dental Implants

Very kind and caring with, probably the most anxious patient they have! Had been dreading my treatments. The hygienist was amazing. Mr McCauley was wonderful.
Rating: 5 / 5
I never thought I would write a review praising a dentist. I was a grown up baby absolutely terrified of dentists. I would literally shake and make myself ill just sitting in the waiting room. However, I found Dorset Dental Clinic who actually listened to my fears and have now totally transformed my look. My teeth were so bad that it took a 5 hour operation under anesthetic to remove the lot and completely replace with new. The work is now complete and it has added a level of confidence and wellbeing to my life. So I thank you Phiip and all your team for a fabulous relaxing journey that has literally put a smile on my face! Graham
Rating: 5 / 5
I had 6 teeth removed and a number of implants. To say I was petrified is an understatement. The care I received was outstanding. Philip is an amazing dentist and all his team are caring and looked after me so well. I now have a smile again and I can’t thank you all enough

I have recently been treated at Dorset Dental Practice for specialised treatment. All the staff were friendly, reassuring and professional and made me feel at ease completely with the treatment I required. My tooth extraction was painless and I felt well informed about the after care. I can't recommend Dorset Dental practice enough, from the experience I have had so far.

Having been recommended Dorset Dental by my son I can honestly say that it's the first time in my life that I don't mind going to the dentist. Fabulous treatment from Szusanna and have also just been fitted for an anti snore mouth piece which I will be testing tonight! Great service and team.

Down The Beach
Burlington Chine, Swanage BH19 1LS, UK | Cafe P: 07799 115158
Rating: 4.8 (123) Price Level:
A food stall at the end of the beach, about a 5min walk. Outdoor seating but sometimes not enough as it gets busy, beware of the gulls!! A great view out over the beach & water. We had a bit of wait because they were flat out. It provides breakfasts up to 11am but you can still buy baguettes. Usual hot n cold drink, & other food, not cheap but you’re paying for the location.
Rating: 5 / 5
Good food, great location just be aware of seagulls! I wasn't but when half my burger was eaten by one it was replaced free of charge which was very nice. :)

Perfect breakfast experience. Very nice staff. Great food. Couldn’t be better
Rating: 4 / 5
Had a nice egg baguette and a coffee. Unfortunately a seagull got half of it! A warning would have been nice, but the gull enjoyed it eating it in front of me.
Rating: 5 / 5
Highly recommend! Wide variety of burgers, seafood, and bites, as well as beers and local ciders available. Beware their hot food service ends at 3pm but if you're a few minutes late they're really nice and can make select menu items. Loved the chicken burger here after finishing a long hike from Studland

Love Cake
42 High St, Swanage BH19 2NX, UK | Cafe P: 01929 475664
Rating: 4.8 (513) Price Level:
Here for breakfast. Nice cafe with seating upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs gets a bit cramped and hard to get to the paying desk if full, downstairs was more spacious so we grabbed a table downstairs. Was looked after soon as we got through the door by helpful staff. The food was great and nicely presented, I had vegan avocado on toast. They have soya milk etc for vegans but sadly no vegan cake on today. Previous reviews show that they usually have it so just my bad luck hehe. Toilets downstairs. Place would be a bit hard to navigate if you had mobility issues. Overall, a lovely cafe.
Rating: 5 / 5
My partner couldn’t stop talking about love cake! We come here every time we visit swanage. The cakes are insane! The slices are very generous. Coffee is good too. Staff are very friendly, it can get busy but we aim to go there around 10 and there’s always a table! We got the cinnamon bun and the Guinness cake. But we’d also recommend the cheesecake which I’ve had before but unfortunately they’ve ran out when we visited this time.
Rating: 5 / 5
Love cake? Then this is the place! But not just for cake. The lunch menu is all as good as it sounds. The quality of the service and the food is oozing with care and love for the ingredients. I wish I could make bacon and scrambled egg as good as they do!

Wonderful cafe with fantastic selection of cakes. Great service. Highly recommend. We had the cake selection board which is really good as you can choose 3 slices of different cakes to try.

The Square & Compass

Rating: 4.8 (2478) Price Level:
Is nice pub to be there after a bit hiking around Dancing ledge, a lot britains goes there to have a glass of beer 🍺, nice talking, good view. Also they have a small museum about fósils found around. They hay a good variety local beers 🍻 simple but nice taste traditional food.
Rating: 4 / 5
After a lovely sunny walk we ended up at the Square & Compass. We had an ale and mulled cider with a steak pasty and a chicken leek and bacon pie. Service was quick and the staff were polite and friendly. We sat in one of the snugs. The whole place is a living museum and you step back in time once you cross the threshold. Service is through a hatch in line with the entrance, it became very congested very quickly with only a few people being present. Not so easy to navigate once you add a tray with drinks and food on it.
Rating: 4 / 5
Keep it simple, a selection of pasties, a sausage roll, and a steak pie, plus some good cider/beer. Served from a hatch which does admittedly cause a bit of a queue, but eaten on tables outside in the sun was worth the wait. Don't miss sticking your head inside to the museum room on the far left and the atmospheric lounge on the right.
Rating: 4 / 5
Excellent and very popular pub in a very pretty little village. Has excellent views from the front seating area to the sea. There are quite a few footpaths that converge in the area so it is very popular with walkers. The food is excellent, and it has a tiny, and very strange little museum.
Rating: 5 / 5
All sorts of pasties is the only menu. Lots of different beers to choose from and the most amazing view, it's on a hill and best to experience when sunny. Outside seating is really unusual on lumps of stone or wooden benches.

Just walked in off the street and staff were so friendly and accommodating. Had a beautiful meal with local beer. Would highly recommend, the food was sensational.
Rating: 5 / 5
Fantastic food. Every dish was special! What a treat. You do need to book in advance! Real good value too. We will definitely be back. The only thing that might may this place even better than it already is, is to do something with the acoustics. It was very loud … but then it was busy 😊 -maybe find someway to soften the noise. Starters,mains and desserts were delicious. Can’t wait to try more from the menu. See photos below! Looked even better in real life 😊
Rating: 5 / 5
Wonderful dinner at The Narrows last night. A selection of their ‘small plates’ all equally delicious, some excellent red wine and a generous cheeseboard to follow. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, this really is a little treasure of a restaurant. Highly recommended, but do make sure you book in advance!
Rating: 5 / 5
A wonderful restaurant with an interesting range of options for meat, fish and vegetarian tastes. Food produced was well presented and very tasty. Music was great. The chocolate desert was one of the best my wife had experienced. Well done. Lovely staff and highly recommended.

Lives in the area for a year now for work and tried this place on a whim with my friend. Turned out to be one of the best meals we’ve had since moving to Dorset. Really modern and needed for Swanage, great food, lovely and genuine staff and really pretty decor. We’ll be back!

Wareham Dental Surgery
16 West St, Wareham BH20 4JX, UK | Dental Clinic P: 01929 552363
Rating: 4.8 (112) Price Level:
Absolutely outstanding! Superb treatment using state of the art procedures. Both dentists are highly skilled, patient and kind. We cannot praise Wareham Dental highly enough. Great reception and dental nurses. They went out of their way to fit me in for an emergency procedure - the dentist even called me out of hours to organise treatment! Without question the best dental treatment we have ever had.
Rating: 5 / 5
I joined this practice because my previous dentist in Parkstone went private, I live in Wareham, couldn’t find an alternative NHS dentist, had no choice other than join a private one, and chose Wareham Dental Surgery. Since joining I have found all staff members to be helpful, very pleasant and welcoming. Swapnil, the Dentist that I see, has a very calming manner, and is gentle in his approach. I had to have an extraction yesterday, which I wasn’t looking forward to, but “Neil” took his time and removed all three roots individually, constantly explaining what he was doing. Whilst I wouldn’t relish a repeat performance, if I had to I wouldn’t be so nervous next time, as I know I am in safe hands!! Thank you all for your professionalism and consideration.
Rating: 5 / 5
Managed to break a tooth at the start of my holiday in Dorset, Wareham Dental surgery kindly fitted me in and fixed the problem until I next see my dentist in London. Otis explained what he had done and made a few good suggestions. Highly recommend and when I finally do return to Dorset for good will definitely use full time.
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent! They fitted me in as an emergency before Christmas and I've since registered with them as a private patient. Dr Giles Kuyzk did composite bonding on my top two front teeth today to repair a broken tooth. He is very skilled and made a lovely job of them. He was so friendly and approachable throughout which helped relax me (nervous patient- like most). I highly recommend them.
Rating: 5 / 5
Just completed the first of three dental implants and to say I am super pleased is an understatement. Apart from being a contender for the nicest man in England, Swapnil is an absolutely brilliant dentist. Implants require a lot of attention to detail and Swapnil completed every stage with great care – he is completely dedicated to his profession. As a result of his work I have a perfect rear molar implant which means I can chew again! My new tooth feels brilliant and I am really looking forward to the next stage in my treatment plan - two upper molar implants with a bridging tooth in between.

Java Independent Coffee House

Rating: 4.8 (397) Price Level:
Exquisite food. Iced coffee was great, Cappuccino a bit on the small side. I liked the no laptop rule (well signed).
Rating: 5 / 5
Friendly staff and lovely food. My coffee was also great. Have already returned already and suspect we will go again before our Dorset holiday is over. The portion size is good which helps if you've done a morning walking. I was particularly impressed by the salad that came with each dish - it wasn't just a few leaves added as an afterthought, but really complemented the plate. Hopefully my photos do it justice. Just updating my review on my return this year to Swanage. Java is still the best cafe in Swanage and possibly the best I've been in anywhere. Food is great, fresh and creative. Staff still super friendly.
Rating: 5 / 5
I was there for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It had a separate vegan breakfast menu which was great. I chose the grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, spicy beans and avocado on toast. It was delicious. I also had two flat white coffees and a slice of chocolate cake with orange peel. The place itself was beginning to get busy. The staff were very pleasant too. Nice ambience. A bit difficult to find. A little expensive but worth it.
Rating: 5 / 5
Visiting this cafe was the food highlight of our little holiday. We stumbled across it from their sign on the high street and thought we'd venture down to see what it was about and so glad we did. Service was great, food was amazing. The lovely guy even gave my daughter her own little soup bowl like ours. Really friendly atmosphere, coffee tasted great. We aren't vegetarian or vegan but would visit this cafe again when we travel to Swanage.
Rating: 5 / 5
Recently discovered Java which was recommended to me. It’s fantastic, just off the main high street if you don’t know Swanage it can be difficult to find ( it was for me originally) the place has a real buzz out it and gets very busy The cakes are the best around ( I’ve only tried the cakes) they are just way better than the mass brought offer in most coffee shops I believe most are vegan and GF not something that bothers me, but is a big plus for many. Service is always warm and friendly. Coffee is excellent served in an array of decorative China! Without doubt the best in Swanage by far

I cannot begin to thank the team enough for their help today. My six-year-old daughter broke her teeth and they were able to rebuild them and they look as good as new. Tawf, the dentist, and Hannah, the dental nurse were incredible. They were kind, professional , caring and made my daughter feel perfectly at ease. I cannot thank them enough for what they did for my daughter. I would also like to thank the reception staff who were lovely.

My treatment at South Coast was excellent from my initial appointment where EVERYTHING was explained to me, to my final check up. Faultless service and lovely friendly staff. Would recommend them to my family and friends, especially Josh and his team.
Rating: 5 / 5
My dental journey with South Coast Implant & Cosmetic Dentist has been amazing from day one. After experiencing many issues with my implants placed in a different dental surgery I found dentists who were willing to help me. David Furze and his team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and kind. They listened attentively to my concerns, explained all procedures and options in detail, and addressed my previous implant issues with expertise. David's positive attitude and enthusiasm made the treatment process much easier. The atmosphere at the surgery is welcoming and friendly, and I always felt comfortable and at ease. Even though I had to travel two hours for my appointments, it was well worth it.
Rating: 5 / 5
The practice is most efficient. Mr Rahman was very reassuring and has a great communication style explaining everything in a clear way. He was very efficient and I did not feel any discomfort during the treatment despite all the warnings! The hygenist I have just met was also delightful.
Rating: 5 / 5
I would like to say a big thank you to Josh and his team for their kindness and patience with fitting my Implants. I was really scared at the beginning of this procedure, but I have got to say it was worth it. I have my smile back and I can eat foods I could not eat for several years. Thank you. You are all amazing . Sue Brice-Baker a happy customer

I broke a molar and was in a lot of pain. I couldn’t find a dentist anywhere so I tried these guys… I left a message and they got back to me within an hour. The lovely receptionist booked an appointment for me later that afternoon. The dentist then phoned me too to get more detail about my tooth problem which was a nice touch.I saw Shannon and her nurse who were incredible. All three ladies were very professional and extremely caring. I live over an hour away from Dorset dental clinic however would have no hesitation in going back there and am seriously considering using them all the time… They really were excellent. Thank you DDC… I have also just received an e mail from them with all the detail of my treatment including the picture of the x-ray they took so I can pass it on to my dentist to help him know all the information. Incredible service… Thank you again Shannon and the team.

Had my first consultation and was made to feel very much at ease. Lovely friendly staff and the information given was in depth and very clear. Absolutely no pressure at all to sign up for treatments and no upselling which was refreshing. I have already decided based on my consultation and all of the information given to me, to go ahead with treatment. So I'll review again after my next appointment. Actually looking forward to visiting the dentist! That's a first!!

Zuzanna is absolutely brilliant! She’s incredibly friendly, passionate about her work, and always makes me feel at ease. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her patients are unmatched. Every visit is a pleasure, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone seeking a truly lovely dental professional!

My first visit to Dorset Dental Cinic I was most impressed by the quick and efficient service I received. A plan was quickly put together. The staff I talked to were very friendly and helpful. Cannot recommend enough. As a nervous patient I was very quickly put at ease. 5 stars from me.
