We have booked to go back next year!

- Andrew (10/5): Superb accommodation and peaceful location - Wow,what place Lyn and Kevin have,set in a quiet location just a short walk into town,easy parking too,lyn messaged to say room was ready early which was a bonus and instructions to get in. Our room or suite was amazing,a private little lounge area with table and chairs plus tv leading to a large bedroom with a huge very comfortable bed,tastefully furnished, and another tv. We slept very well after a full day exploring. The bathroom was to die for with a roll-top bath and an amazing walk-in drench shower, and I didn't want to come out of it. We ordered a full English breakfast which was delivered to our room in a picnic basket and was piping hot and absolutely delicious, plus orange juice,you can order cereals and pastries if didn't want a full breakfast, a lovely touch. Lyn and Kevin are such a lovely friendly couple who couldn't do enough for you, thank you and will definitely be back. Nothing

- David (9/5): Well furnished and clean house with friendly hosts. - Very comfortable property in excellent location, close to everything we needed, such as shops, buses, the Swanage Railway and seafront.
Because there is limited parking outside the house, our hosts helpfully provided a free pass for the main beach car park. Not much to dislike at all.

- Zena (10/5): Relaxing and peaceful - Clean and beautifully decorated. Facilities were amazing and within walking distance to the town. Hosts were fabulous x Everything was perfect
- Sergey (9/5): Excellent place with a great character - Everything was great and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the whimsy and very topical (Rivendell!) design of the room and the whole guest house. It also has a great, very central location next to a heritage train station and a large Co-Op supermarket. Overall, excellent value for money for a very comfortable and enjoyable short stay in Swanage. Our only issue with the stay was that for a 'self-catering studio,' our room was missing a proper cooking hob, with a microwave the only available option for cooking, limiting what we could cook in the room during our stay. This could have been more clearly highlighted in room descriptions, as it was an unwelcome surprise that made us urgently reconsider our cooking and grocery shopping plans upon our arrival. But that was the only issue - everything else was perfect.
- Elizabeth (9/5): Great for families - Great studio for families. Well laid out. Perfect amount of amenities. Clean. Would have been great to have had dedicated parking but this is reflected in the price. Quite loud being on the main road with window open.
