My Husband and I extremely enjoyed our two night stay in our calm,relaxing and very comfortable surroundings.We chose this B&B as a base for my Husband to commute to nearby areas to complete an Ecology course. We are still talking about the fab breakfast and bar food! David and Dianne are a lovely couple who really make you feel welcome.... More

My Husband and i spent our honeymoon here. We had just the best time. Personal touches were left for us from rose petals on the bed to just married sprinkles at our breakfast table. We spent out first night in and sampled a dish from there evening menu. It was delicious. In the end we stayed in every night and... More

Don't forget your swimming costumes like we did, because they have a hot tub. Dianne and David were very welcoming friendly hosts, and we enjoyed our stay. They were attentive, nothing was too much trouble, and there's a bar! Yes, £100 for our room is expensive, and the sheets aren't Egyptian cotton - but it was lovely anyway and a... More

We returned yesterday from our third stay at Swanage Haven in as many years, and we have no intention of looking for anywhere else in Swanage. David and Dianne are fabulous hosts, and the room extremely comfortable and clean. Breakfast was amazing, though yet again I forgot to buy some of Dianne's homemade lemon curd (which is the best I...

Just returned from a weekend at this guest guest house and cannot praise it highly enough. The hosts Dianne and David were extremely helpful, the room immaculate, breakfast fantastic and the evening meal cooked to perfection. I have been to many guest houses but this one had me oohing and aahing, the presentation is perfect - everything spotlessly clean and... More

I am reluctant to post this review but feel I should because my husband and I don't want to stay at the Swanage Haven again and I feel I should say why. I don't have any complaints as such, more a comment that we paid £110 per night for that 'something extra' but unfortunately we didn’t experience it. I fully... More

We are both saddened that you feel you did not obtain value for money, something we strive hard to give. While we understand your experience with us doesnt seem to have lived up to what you expected it appears that as you say most people think we try to give as much as we can for the price paid. Your...

My husband and I stayed at The Swanage Haven for 3 nights. After a very warm welcome, we were shown to our newly decorated room with great views of the hills. The walk into the centre of town took about 15minutes with lovely views of the bay. After a very comfortable night’s sleep, neither of us could resist the full... More

have stayed here a few times. the location is great, the guesthouse is comfortable, easy parking and offers a lot more than one would expect. it is more a hotel rather than a B&B. the hosts are great, quite funny actually and very relaxed, the rooms are stylish and exceptionally clean and comfortable. I shall visit again!

My aprtner and I stayed here for our first honeymoon, whilst driving around the south coast. We had been to several other B&B's, all who had been less then welcoming. Found The Swange Haven in a quite side road, no one was in, but was able to leave details, went for fish and chips, called back 30 mins later and... More
