The truth you’re looking for

This little gem in a quiet part of town is perfect for an escape! The self-check-in made arrival a breeze. My room was well-equipped with a fridge and kettle and spotless. Loved the easy access to the beach and appreciate its pet-friendly policy. Comfortable beds ensured a restful night's sleep.

Superb stay! The family room was spacious with a flat-screen TV, a fridge, and a kettle. Loved the free tea and coffee facilities. Spotlessly clean bathroom with good shower pressure. It's just a short walk to the beach and town. The owners were welcoming and helpful, ensuring everything was smooth during our visit.

room amenities

comfy beds

drawer issues

lack of warmth

The family room features charming bunk beds that delighted the kids, providing a fun sleeping arrangement. The room also had a table, microwave, kettle, and fridge, which made it easy to enjoy snacks and drinks during our stay.

While the bunk beds were a hit, the squeaky top one could wake a heavy sleeper, which might annoy some families. A personal touch felt missing. there wasn't any real chance to connect with the owners and get a sense of warmth or welcome despite their friendly phone communication. it felt slightly impersonal.

Staying near the beach and town center was absolutely ideal for our family trip. The room was bright and clean, and it was great to have tea and coffee facilities at hand. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore local attractions without needing the car. While we did notice some dust on the skirting boards, it didn't detract from our overall enjoyment.

A perfect option for a couple of nights in Swanage with the best value for money ratio. The room was clean, tidy, and had a fridge, which was super handy. If you need a place for a quick overnight stay, this is it.

great location but minor cleaning issues

The location is perfect for exploring nearby beaches and Durlston Country Park. The room offered plenty of space and had all the necessary tea/coffee facilities.

I noticed some areas could use a more thorough cleaning.
