We are ideally situated in Swanage, less than 5 minute's level walk from the beach, bus service, the famous Swanage steam railway and the town centre. 5.5 miles from Corfe Castle. We are a room only guest house and do not supply breakfast - our prices reflect this. All rooms are ensuite with fridge and tea & coffee facilities. There is a key system which allows you to check in and out at your own convenience (1pm check in/10.30am check out) You will receive a text in the week prior to your stay with all the check in information. Dogs are more than welcome. Our rooms are on a self catering basis so we will not enter your room over your stay. We provide washing up liquid/tea towels etc so that you can refresh your tea cups if needed. We no longer have parking.
