Quite a large lounge area, bedroom a little small, but lovely and clean.
Would have liked net curtains to afford more privacy in bedroom during daylight hours.
Shame breakfast not available.
Some noise from owners who also lived in the property, but only normal daily living sounds

The location was very convenient and it was very clean. It was literally the front room of a house converted. It was more like a Bed & Bathroom rather than a Bed & Breakfast. However, the price was fair and reflected this. It was perfect for my needs for one night.
I could hear the next door room quite easily. Just a locked door separating the rooms. Thankfully the people next door quietened down and it wasn’t a problem.

I was not really expecting two rooms but the sitting room with TV and wifi was very welcome. The fresh flowers in both windows was a homely touch. The bed was extremely comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. The shower was easy to operate and the water became warm quickly. The front door light turned on as my car arrived in the dark and the drinks provided were welcome. Although no breakfast was provided by the facility, the host had provided a mini fridge so that I could keep milk etc for my own breakfast - very thoughtful and appreciated. Although I didn't actually walk in the area, the local shops were in easy walking distance so the location was goo. It was situated on the Wareham to Dorchester Road with easy access to tourist spots.
I'm not used to a TV with two remote controls and I sometimes struggled to get a signal and change channels.

Friendly host. Comfortable stay. Good location: Nice pub, train station & bus stops, shops & takeaway all less than a 10minute walk away.
Not much to dislike. I wasn't too fussed that the tissue box was empty. I'm sure if I had asked for some tissues, the host would have supplied them.

The location of this homestay is so convenient. Me and my husband enjoyed this sweet little room all thanks to our great host Shaun and his hospitality. The living room had a hot kettle, tea coffee neatly presented on the table. The bedroom was very clean and warm. The bath had an array of clean linen. soap, shampoo and lotion so you don't have to worry about carrying bottles of these around( although we did, coz we didn't know :p). Shaun was very gracious and welcoming, he often asked if we wanted anything to be restocked. There is an informative brochure in the house that tells you about nearby attractions and food places. For any meals and groceries there is a deli, mini tesco, restaurants just round the corner. If you don't feel like a walk or bad weather, can still order through just eats online app. Also it's a 5 minute walk to the station and bus stand which runs between durdle door and lulworth cove every hour. The bus drivers are very kind as well. It's a small town but lovely people and has a warm country side vibe everywhere. Our holiday paid off extremely well. Thank you.

Close to all the important areas. I came from a wedding so it was handy that it was very close to the nearby castle.
I enjoyed the ensuite bathroom, and the room/space in general and the fact it came with parking.
Even came with some treats, like bottled water and coffee etc etc.
Very convenient
The parking was a bit hard to get into, but that is not something that anyone could fix. Just park on the road if you arent confident in your reversing.

Location superb for visiting Dorset very easy to access beautiful beaches and countryside as well as museums and historical sites
Maybe a mini fridge if staying more than 2nights ,windy night made security lights come on which was a little disconcerting until I realised what the light was .

This property is clean and well appointed. The shower is fantastic, and the bed very comfortable. The TV is modern with all the current streaming services able to be used, wifi fast. The owner is very knowledgeable on the area, and very easy to communicate with. I used this property to visit the Tank Museum and it worked well. The Ship Inn was a good pub, and the Hidden Deli had excellent food only a short walk away - overall a great stay
There are no street numbers so you just have to aim for the corner of Baileys Drove and sydneham crescent and use the booking pin - so patience with cab - but easy enough

The guest house a a double room with en-suit as well as separate living area which is great. Everything was great!
Everything was perfect but fridge and microwave were not available which should be there I think being basic necessity.
