The location was perfect, the room clean and the staff helpful. I was glad about the parking behind the Inn. Made it very easy to explore Swanage. Also lovely to grab a drink or food right there.

It was an amazing place. From the website I somehow thought I had booked a hostel, so I was very happy to find out it was actually a nice B&B. I had great views from my room, excellent breakfasts and enjoyed chatting with the owners who were very friendly. I will be staying here again next year,

Lovely stay. The staff upgraded us to a larger room because of the extra stairs we had to climb with our luggage. They did not charge us. Dinner was delicious, and the service wonderful.

We stayed three weeks here and really enjoyed our time there. The staff and owners were great and attentive to our needs. The breakfast was great as well and had plenty to chose from. It was a short walk to the cliffs and restaurants and shops. We would defiantly stay here again!!!

Such a nice place to stay and very beautifully antique yet modern. The view of the castle was amazing from our room and it was a nice walk through the quaint town to visit the castle.
Breakfast was great and so nice that it was included. Dinner was very good too.

My husband, daughter & I spent 2 nights at this very clean & comfortable hotel. Our room & bathroom were spacious for 3 adults.
The location was great, easy walk along the waterfront, into town & to restaurants. The parking permit provided by the hotel was most helpful, & even though May was a busy time, we were able to find parking in close proximity to hotel.
Breakfasts were delicious. Claire & Mark were extremely accommodating to our request to have breakfast earlier than served on our...
