Very pleasant
Breakfast good selection well cooked. Dinning room clean and pleasant
Needs some where to hang coats in the bedroom and somewhere to sit other than on the bed.
6.0 / 10.0
Perfectly adequate B&B.
Reasonable location but Swanage isn't especially large so you'd find it hard to be far from anywhere and you probably drove to get there. Parked up the hill because there are more rooms than spaces. I could see the sea from my room.
Baked beans on all days were cold as was the toast on the day that I had it. I had asked for an egg to be flipped and wasn't quite sure it had but despite having put in my order the night before as requested due to the length of time it took to get served I had to leave it anyway. The bed was short - beware if you're over 6'and the top of the shower was also a little low but I managed to avoid getting the floor wet. Quite high up so the wifi signal was poor (but adequate - no obvious booster available). Otherwise the place was ok and served my purposes although there were three of us waiting outside to be let in for a few minutes when we wanted to book in.

WRONGLY DISCRIBED ON SITE
VERY DISAPPOINTED… was told this was disabled accessible. It wasn’t so the owner told me to cancel and assured me I would get a refund. I still haven’t. I think he didn’t want the hassle of me staying there and was pretty offhand. A waste of money…
Being told I’d get a refund. Told to cancel by owner when he didn’t know I would be able to get a refund or not.

Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend
Excellent location, very friendly staff, very clean and a good breakfast. A lovely stay
I thought the bed was comfy, but husband says it was too soft! Could have done with a heated towel rail as autumn approaches but had offer of putting them through tumble dryer.
