We arrived to a very warm welcome from David and Dianne. They were able to give us a choice of two lovely rooms at the top of the house which was a nice touch. The room has obviously been well-thought through and well-cared for. The breakfast was unbelievably good. Local produce beautifully cooked and presented. My wife and I were... More

We had the 'best' room at the top of the house but it was really small and there was no room to pass each other. The picture of the room made it look quite big but, in reality, it wasn't. The breakfast was 'alright' but nothing to write home about. Parking at the front was not sufficient for the amount... More

I urge readers to view down these reviews at the other negative comment left by the same party, some 5 months ago.After runing about giving extra service nothing seemed to be enough. This party kept guests awake all night and demanded attention that for a small establishment just was not possible. Not one of this party said anything at the... More

We stayed for just one night but recieved a warm welcome, were shown to a stylish, clean and comfortable room and next day enjoyed a great breakfast. This was a good value for money B&B that had the feel of a small boutique hotel. We would certainly stay again but next time will book one of the spa treatments. More

Our party of three had an excellent stay at the Swanage Haven. David and Dianne were extremely helpful and always willing to give good advice about places to go and see. The food in the B n B was really good and the restaurants that were recommended to us we're also really good value for money. We would definitely stay... More

The Swanage Haven was recommended by friends and we are so glad to have found it! David and Dianne couldn't have made us more welcome. The place was spotlessly clean and so relaxing. The breakfasts were amazing. Lovely food and so well presented. The room was tastefully decorated and there were chocolates, slippers and gowns awaiting our arrival. We hope... More

Stayed for a couple of nights whilst visiting our daughter who lives in Swanage. We had a standard double room which was lovely. Very clean with a comfortable bed and well equipped bathroom. Plenty of storage, flat screen tv and internet access in the room. David and Dianne run a very professional business and everything has been well thought out.... More
