Great location
Clean, basic but fine for a short stay
8.0 / 10.0
The overriding fact that it is pet friendly & in a great location was fantastic, we could come & go as we pleased without being bothered.
Maybe keys could be colour coded for outside & room door so no confusion when coming in wet with shopping & dog.

The bed and pillows were really comfortable and clean, as were the lovely clean towels.
We did say that we would be there at 1pm but had to wait for the key code until 2pm.

The location was good and the property was clean and was excellent value for money
The only thing that was minor was the water pressure was a bit low but in no way distracted from all the other features

Great room and location. The instructions for the check in were clear and we really enjoyed our stay there!
The bulk bed was making lots of noise but it wasn’t a major problem for us.

Lovely and quiet. Great location. Room was very clean and tidy.
A little basic than what we are used to but can’t complain as it was reasonably priced so ticked all our boxes.

The room was a good size with a double bed and a set of bunks each were very comfortable. There was a fridge microwave and kettle with ample tea coffee and milk. The en suite was clean and a nice size. Overall the room was perfect and very clean. It was also ideal as we were able to take our dog with us. The location was very good and central. Even though there was no parking on site the is a big car park across the road which we used. Would recommend this property and would stay here again.

Very nice and convenient for The Swanage Railway. All in good condition. Stairs a little difficult for me on walking stick but doable. Need an outside light for garden path area. Other than that very acceptable.
