The lack of parking close to the property.

Breakfast was very nice. We were very well looked after by the hosts.

Bit tricky to park nearby, but the information about where to park locally was really clear.

Breakfast was great, the room was nice and clean too.

The quaint stairs are typical of old narrow buildings where much height is achieved by deep treads and small space. Difficult for anyone with mobility issues and not too easy to carry luggage up and down. It's an historic area so it's living history!

I self catered as I was running a marathon and needed pre and post race food. There is no car park, you approach down a narrow one way lane, drop off bags inside the property using key in key safe, code for which is sent in text about an hour before you arrive. Car has to be parked elsewhere. A map of free parking areas is available from pre visit emails by proprietors. I would recommend obtaining the Swanage Council street map. I also obtained a Dorset A - Z, pre loved via eBay. All of which very helpful. I was lucky to know the road where one free parking area is and left my car there all weekend. I did find Swanage streets confusing. Important to know the sat nav can take you to the wrong end of Town Hall Lane which is one way. The entrance is actually off High Street, opposite No 73 VALET CLEANING SERVICE

Shame breakfast wasn't available at the downstairs cafe on the day we visited. The menu looked great and we had an inferior meal in town.

Central location. Comfortable bed. Felt safe.

They are very helpful in letting you know where you can park, but it’s worth being aware that you can’t park at the premises itself. It would be extra good if the breakfast were included in the cost if the room (you do get a discount though which is good!)

The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The location is very central but in a quiet spot. The room was really comfortable.

It was a rip-off to offer a b and b with no breakfast for the price charged. They had a cafe for breakfast that they ran so there was an option to provide this.

Comfort and location. Breakfast really good but should be in the price.

Unfortunately there is no parking. This is offset by the location. - you can walk everywhere - but you do need to find somewhere to put the car. We were lucky and found free parking.

Excellent breakfast and a fabulousocation

It was a particularly hot period and the room was just too stuffy with not enough air. A stand-up fan should definitely have been provided.

It was a fantastic location. It was very clean and comfortable

There was a note that the we were not to touch the window so it only opened a couple of inches and the room was so hot, a shame we hand the been told before we got there as would have brought a fan with us as there was not one in the room and nowhere open to buy one.

Comfy bed, great shower and location, shame there was no way to cool the room.

Would it have been too much to actually flag up on the website or even when we had breakfast on Sunday that the café would be closed on the Monday??? Terrible leak from base of tap in basin. Shower head needed descaling, adjuster knob for shower height missing and grout needed a good scrub. Tiles cracked around step to loo.

Outstanding central but tucked away location. Beautiful historic building. Fresh and appealing decor and furniture. Quality towels. Bottles of water in lobby. Fan in the room. Map on website showing free parking zones.

The only thing really is that I found getting into the shower a bit of a squeeze as the door would only open about half halfway, as it then came to rest against the shower taps. I stayed in room 4 and couldn’t say what the other rooms showers are like. But I wouldn’t let that put me off staying there again.

Great location near the Center of town. Clean room and comfy bed. The hosts were nice and friendly.

Parking places virtually non existent, rediculous for holiday makers actually staying in the town,far too many yellow lines, surely some could be void overnight! I got a parking ticket as I was loading up to come home!

Good breakfast but expensive, nice friendly host and hostess. Mystified by the steps in the bedroom.

I thought the room would of been bigger for the price. Shower was very small which was the only this that was a little disappointing. Apart from that everything was very nice. Cleaning was excellent.

I only had breakfast twice which was lovely. Hosts were very nice.

We didn't have breakfast. We liked the room but we are an older couple and although we count ourselves quite fit, the toilet and shower being a step up from the main bedroom proved uneasy, especially as the small light provided to light up that area in the dark didn't work. The room itself was very clean and comfortable.

We had problems with the lock on the door to the room. The key and then the replacement key didnt open the door and we had to call the proprietor on two occasions who fortunately managed to open the door after a struggle. He said he would be replacing the lock asap.

Not keen on step to our ensuite toilet - could have been tricky in middle of night. Steep stairs to our room.

Breakfast was not included. Coffee shop opened just before our visit. Good quality food available at extra cost. The daily rate was more than I would normally pay without breakfast.
