    cozy room
    great location
    sliding bathroom door

    Charming stay with splendid hosts! Room was cozy and just a hop from the beach—location couldn't be better. The hot shower was a delight. just what I needed after a long day!

    The sliding bathroom door? A bit too much intimacy for my taste! And the view? Let’s just say it was more ‘back alley chic’ than seaside bliss!

    welcoming environment
    vegan options
    cramped room
    lack of privacy
    hazardous drink station

    The spacious lounge and warm nature of the hosts made the experience memorable. Breakfast was not only generous but also catered to dietary needs, including delicious vegan options. the room felt cramped, and the sliding door to the en-suite lacked privacy. the tray for drinks posed a safety risk due to its low placement near the door.

    missing fridge

    Relaxing beach vibes in Swanage 🌊

    We felt so at home here! John and Martine are absolute gems, always keen to help. The brekkie was a real highlight—proper sausages, fresh fruit, and delicious coffee! Also loved chilling in the spacious guest lounge, especially while the little one was napping. Perfect location just a stroll from the beach!

    Could've done with a fridge in the room, but Martine sorted us out with space in theirs, so no biggie!

    Comfortable Stay with Charming Hosts

    Enjoyed a pleasant three-night stay while wedding planning. Rooms were immaculately clean. the larger room offered more space but had an awkward shower setup. The cooked breakfast was top-notch and left us energized for the day. Ideal location near the beach and cozy local pub for dinner.

    excellent breakfast
    clean room
    small room

    We had an amazing stay with our dogs! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and even gave us suggestions for local walking routes. The breakfast was fantastic, especially the homemade muesli, and the clean room made our time feel relaxing. Great spot for family adventures!

    My wife says that the room was a bit small for our needs.

    My stay was highlighted by the exceptional breakfast selection and the cozy lounge area. parking was a bit tight outside. despite that, I would absolutely return.

    Everything was excellent from the lovely sea views to the abundant breakfast options. The hosts were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The location couldn’t be better for beach access.

    It was perfect.

    friendly hosts
    lack of shower

    Had a fantastic time with friends! We really enjoyed walking along the beach and climbing the cliffs. The hosts were accommodating, ensuring our breakfast choices were just right, and they even offered a good laugh during our chats. The location was ideal for us to explore as it was so close to the beach. I highly recommend this stay!

    The only downside was the lack of a proper shower in the double room, which took a while to get hot water. It was a small inconvenience for an otherwise enjoyable stay.
