Sally United Kingdom

Everything was spotless and amazingly well organised. Alan, the Proprietor, could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was lovely and there were little details we had not expected, eg bottled water every morning. We had car parking space in the centre of Swanage and a short stroll to the beach.

Clifford United Kingdom

It’s literally a block back from the beach. The owner, Alan is super friendly and helpful. I was in the single room and it was comfortable and perfect for a few days away. The weather was amazing as well, but I can’t give Alan credit for that ! ;)

  • When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?
    We like May and June. At this time of year the weather can be marvelous and Swanage has yet to experience the rush that July and August can bring.
    Answered on 23 October 2019
  • Is there guarantee free parking if we want the king room with sea view?
    Thank you for your question. Each of our 'double' (two guest rooms) has parking on site. The spaces are not room specific and two spaces get blocked in by a 3rd car. We have however devised a system where any blocked car is freed up after breakfast.
    Asked about: King Room with Sea View • Answered on 26 September 2020
  • Does the bed in the Queen room turn into two singles ?
    Thank you for your enquiry. No, the king size bed does not turn into 2 x singles. Our Room number 5 is a Premier twin bedded room - but does not have a bay view. Kind regards, Alan Ould. Proprietor.

Host Information

9.8
Host review score
Caythorpe House is a family run establishment. It offers bright, comfortable rooms and a friendly atmosphere in which to relax. Fabulous location, close to beach, town, steam railway, restaurants and pubs! A large comfortable guest lounge compliments our newly refurbished breakfast room. While we offer free parking this is limited and some spaces are blocked. There is however free parking across the road from us.
Caythorpe House is my passion and I am always pleased to talk about the history of this fabulous house and how I am currently sympathetically renovating it. After a long career in marketing in the travel sector, I am pleased to be able to put this experience into running a successful guest house.
We are situated on a very prominent corner just up from the 'banjo pier' on the coast that extends from the small clock tower. The Swanage market (Fridays) takes place in the large car park 100 or so metres from us. The beach is a three minute walk to our sandy beaches and the new Beach Huts that are available for hire.
