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.

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 🐾💕

    A spacious and very comfortable b&b. The bed was a little hard for me, but that is my preference. A huge, beautiful sitting room to relax in. A lovely dining room, with more than ample, well cooked breakfasts! Alison the server is a ray of sunshine! Kate the owner is a lovely host and nothing is too much trouble!! Very good value for money. An excellent stay and we will return!
