Beautiful place to stay the weekend was so good that we are going back next year.
Shower was small but every thing else was brilliant.

Lovely comfortable and clean room with great facilities. The location was perfect for us (staying in Swanage for the Jazz festival).
Particularly liked having the bed made, towels hung and bins emptied each day- it made it feel a very luxurious stay!
Didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment on it.

Everything was wonderful. Clean rooms with everything you need and made very welcome by the owners. Short walk to the beach.
Booking didn't make it clear that breakfast was not included, we only find out from the confirmation.

The room was spotlessly clean with a comfortable bed, powerful shower and soft towels. The continental breakfast was extensive, timely and delicious. Owners both very friendly, informative and helpful.
The road next to the house was busy from 7am in the morning and thus noisy with the window open. Not the owners’ fault and we closed the window for the following nights, so it was not a problem.

Everything. Spacious accommodation, extremely comfortable king size bed and everywhere spotlessly clean. Felt very at home there.
Absolutely nothing.

It was clean and comfortable
Felt regimental uncomfortable breakfast not very good I like continental but if you was first down for fruit it wasn’t replaced only 2 pieces of toast per person never asked if we would like more although other guests were asked only one jam and one marmalade per table so if you both did not like marmalade only one of you got the jam

Fantastic stay at Arbour house. Sarah was very welcoming and our room was lovely and clean with fresh tea and towels provided each day. Such a great location as well for swanage town.
Breakfast was really nice but we would loved for there to have been a cooked option as well. But very nice breakfast otherwise and lots of choice.

Very friendly welcome from Frazier & Sarah, shown to our lovely room with double aspect windows,bags carried up for us . Arbour House would put to shame some of the private Hotels in the U,K
Quiet location easy parking yet only 10 minutes from beach & town ,will definitely return.

Room was clean with a excellent view. Breakfast was continental only which was a shame.
Slightly on the expensive side for a guest house
4.6
The continental breakfast was excellent and there were other possibilities if you asked for them. The room and en suite were both very clean, quiet and felt private and secure. When we were out, Sarah cleaned through the room and remade the bed and put my iPad to charge (I'd forgotten my charger and so she lent me one). We parked on the allotted parking area at the front of the house. I was sad to leave.
You'd have to be ridiculously fussy not to like Arbour House.

Good location, near center. Breakfast was the same menu every morning, but you could choose. It was prerared indoors and was delicious.
The bathroom was verry small. It had all the necesaries, but small. I asked for a socket switch (we came from Europe), but they didn't have one. I had to buy one from the city center. But that didn't bother me that much.

Propertly is spotlessly clean, very well maintained and decorated. It is in an excellent position, little more than 200m from the seafront. It is in a quiet location. Breakfasts are excellent and filling and there are room tea and coffee facilities and daily bottled water. Some rooms have large wall screen TV's with DVD players. There are games books and DVD's to borrow. The hosts are very friendly and supportive of needs and requests. Beds are comfortable, rooms are well ventilated with good soundproofing.There is outdoor seating space in the front garden.
Two parking bays and provided off road, if you arrive at peak beach hours there may only be parking in adjacent roads.
Room 1 is smaller and more compact than first floor rooms and shower/ washroom space is restricted. The room size is not the size quoted on Booking.com
Reservation was made on Booking.com but this is not usable for payment at the site, a debit card is needed. We were told this appeared on our confirmation from Booking.com, but it is not on the document we downloaded.
Children under 12 are not normally accepted. Details of age were given to Booking.com but not available to the property.
