Great for a B&B near the town and sea

Great breakfast, especially the muesli and poached eggs, comfortable bed, friendly hosts Short distance to town and sea. Complementary water in room.

Ensuite was tiny but then compact was in the description.

We were very happy about the stay, highly recommend!

The host John contacted us the day before we visited and provided clear information we needed. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean, with a heater in the bathroom so we could dry our clothes. The breakfast was amazing, so many options and was very delicious cooked by John in the morning. He was very friendly and kindly provided us more information about travelling around in the area.

We got there quite late so there's no parking space left in the street. We had to park in a public car park down by the seaside, around 7mins walk from the house, which is not too bad if the weather is ok.

Great location.

The owner was very friendly. The room was a nice size as was the bathroom. Unusually, breakfast was served in the bedroom which we found much nicer then sharing a dining room. Breakfast was very nice.

Limited parking.

Beautiful friendly BnB close to coastal walks

A beautiful BnB with comfortable room, friendly hosts and a great breakfast! Location is very close to the coast for beautiful walks

It was difficult to park nearby when we arrived (but it was a Saturday in July so probably to be expected!)

Good - thankyou :)

The location was perfect and the staff were lovely, would definitely recommend

The bathroom was just a little on the small side, and the water was too hot for my partner and little water pressure.

Lovely night in Swanage & a great nights sleep

Lovely family run B&B. The owners were very welcoming. Brilliant location & we had a lovely cooked breakfast ( perfect poached eggs). Would stay again.

Bathroom quite small, but everything you need.

Lovely b&b close to the town & the beach

The room was first class, Very large & spacious. Our hosts were very welcoming. Breakfast was served in our room daily by filling in the menu. The b&b is very close to all amenities in Swanage town & the beach. Would highly recommend staying.

If you have mobility problems like me this is probably not the best location as it is situated on a very steep hill. However I was made aware of this before arrival by the hosts.

A delightful B&B in a gorgeous location ran by someone who obviously takes pride in what they do.

What a delightful place to stay. Jon could not have been more helpful and friendly. He even offered to do my ironing. The room was beautiful and very clean.

There was nothing that I didn't like. I suppose I could say that I didn't like the fact that I was only there for two nights.

A very comfortable & pleasant stay.

We told the owners that we wanted a continental breakfast & they made us an exceptional breakfast. The location was great......a short walk to everywhere in Swanage town. The owner was really friendly 🙂

Not in the control of the B & B owners but parking was quite limited.
