This is a spacious, bright room on the first floor, in a family home. Lulu was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room is well decorated and furnished, and the en-suite bathroom again bright and spacious. With a bay window with views to the sea, great breakfasts were served whilst sitting here, a perfect start to a day's walking. A... More

Stylish large B&B room furnished to high standard. The bathrooom was spotless with a super size fantastic shower! Breakfast was excellent sitting at the sunny bay window. Lulu would go out of her way to help. Also convenient location so near shops, beach, bars, etc. yet quiet and relaxing. Highly recommended!

Immaculately clean and furnished to very high standards as well as being extremely comfortable. Breakfast served in the bay window of the room was of good quality and certainly did set us up for the day. Really central with a view of the bay. A must for any couple visiting for the weekend.

The double room at the front of the house was very clean, spacious and looked as though it had been recently refurbished. The en-suite shower room looked new, and again was very clean.

My husband and I have just spent a weekend in a B & B that knocks anything else similar into a cocked hat. The quality of the accommodation was superb. Alot of time and effort had gone into providing an extremely up market feel to a simple B & B. To be able to enjoy breakfast in peace without any... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Gretenham is an Edwardian town house close to the town centre of Swanage and within two minutes of the town's main beach and seaside. The main bedroom is decorated in the modern style with mirrored furniture but still retains the original Edwardian marble fireplace. The en-suite bathroom has modern Mira shower, washbasin and toilet. Breakfast will be served in your room - at no extra cost - at a table in the large bay window which has a view towards the sea. In room TV and DVD, tea and coffee and shower accessories are all included. We often say that this is 'Boutique' quality at 'Guest House' prices. Come and try it!! ... more   less
