Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Been so many times and I keep coming back! Pub over the road. Views over towards Corfe Castle, the safe garden for the dog. Driving distance to Studland bay, Swanage and Tyneham village. Just a happy, chilled place.

    Wasn’t looking for thrills but rather a great location for a solo getaway. I felt safe and well catered for at Kingston. There’s enough to do nearby and also plenty if staying longer and wanting to get around the larger area.
