Tina and Amanda
This Edwardian building has been given 5 AA stars because we have spent years putting the wow factor back in this gorgeous property. Catering only for adults, with honesty bar, lounge and a friendly atmosphere .
We are sisters Tina and Amanda, we took over the Swanage Haven in March 2019. Amanda is a qualified chef and has worked in many aspects of the catering business, her breakfasts have received many lovely reviews over the past year. Tina started her working career as a hairdresser and then joined Surrey Police in 1999 spending most of her policing investigation. until retirement in January 2019. We are a small team and are joined by Anne who worked at the Swanage Haven for the previous owners. We love running the Guest House and can't wait to welcome all our new and returning guests to the Swanage Haven.
Part of the Jurassic Coast and an area of outstanding natural beauty, what more to say stunning coast, gorgeous heathland, and forests .
