What a wonderful surprise to find b&b owners and staff out there that actually care about the service they provide. Clare House is one of those outstanding places to stay. The staff are warm, welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is well organised and the best you're likely to ever find. We'll definitely be back. Thank you... More

We found this bed and breakfast by accident, and what a wonderfull find. It's exceptionally clean, tastefully decorated, the breakfast is wonderfull and nothing is too much trouble for the owners. I can't praise this bed and breakfast highly enough.

Had a lovely few days away at this beautifully designed and well run hotel. The staff were very friendly and breakfast was delicious and very well organised. The room was spacious and very tastefully decorated. The hotel is centrally located and makes it easy to get to the seafront and shops. Would definetly stay there again.

We have stayed at Clare House a couple of times now and we think it is above the best a B&B can offer. It is ideally situated right next to the town centre with a 2 min walk to the sea. Clare house is run by Alan and Diane who are extremely warm and friendly hosts who make you feel... More

The bed was huge (3 pillows width) and the shower room clean & bright, with dressing gowns & slippers. A nice touch was the silent fridge in the bedroom with fresh milk (daily) to make... More

This was our last break away as just a couple before the birth of our first child and we chose Swanage because of the location and the fact that we had been told how laid back and picturesque it is. Well Swanage and the surrounding areas were lovely and our stay was made great by the perfect location of Clare... More

The staff at the guest house were wonderful, they were attentive and welcoming from the moment we stepped inside to the moment we left. My daughter especially loved all the attention! We stayed in the room on the top floor-the stairs were a bit of a mission with a baby and luggage, but nonetheless, a beautiful room with ample space... More

It might seem ridiculous to rate a guest house at 5 stars for everything, but for us Clare House really was that good! From the second we walked in we felt at home, the staff were warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. Everywhere at Clare House was immaculately clean and looked as if we were...
