Amberlea Guest House, hotel in Swanage

Amberlea Guest House is located in Swanage, 500 meters from Swanage Bay and 10 km from Corfe Castle. All units in the guest house are equipped with a TV. Wifi available in rooms.

The breakfast booking was very simple to use. Great choice available. I had mistakenly thought breakfast was included in the price. The owners were very accommodating and I was able to share my breakfast with my granddaughter rather than having to pay separately as her appetite would not have matched the price. The English breakfast was lovely. Very good value for money.

The Rosscourt-Adults Only, hotel in Swanage

Just 600 metres from the sandy beach of Boscombe, this adult-only accommodation provides modern, light rooms with private bathrooms.

The customer service from Debbie was fantastic. She contacted me before I arrived to make sure she was available at the time I said I would arrive. The rooms are perfect. Clean, comfy and quiet. I would have no questions about staying here again. In fact I will be when I come back next year. Thanks Debbie.

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Little Robin Gate - Free Parking - Central - 10 min Walk to Train Station is a recently renovated guest house set in Bournemouth, 1.8 km from Westcliff Beach.

Such a great 5 day stay at Little Robin Gate. David & Pumpkin were so lovely & friendly & made our stay with our dog completely relaxed & amazing! The house & gardens are gorgeous & very dog safe. Tasty continental breakfast choices  including fruit & croissants & a great coffee machine! Not forgetting a little sausage breakfast for Nelson! Very clean and tidy & everything on hand. David & Pumpkin could not have been anymore attentive with little cooked treats along the way! Only 15 minutes walk to Bournemouth Town Centre & pier. The train & bus station just a few minutes walk! We shall miss them both & will definitely stay again. We cannot recommend Little Robin Gate highly enough. Dave, Alex & Nelson 🐾💕

    This property is perfect! Such a great location, quiet enough to get a decent nights sleep, but a stones throw from the centre, more than enough room for all of us and everything we could possibly need. Amazing find and can’t fault anything about it. Excellent hosts that were more than happy to help and easy to contact with any questions.
