This is a great B & B, and surely sets the standard of what more & more people are going to expect from B & Bs in the future.
We stayed for 2 nights this weekend just gone. The host David & Dianne were friendly, welcoming and always on hand to open the bar, fire up the hot tub and give advice on taxis, places to eat, walks etc.
The premises are bright, spotlessly clean, and modern in feel. There is car parking for every room, and the bar is well stocked in a really pleasant lounge with loads of local info and books etc.
The room is great. All very modern with a real feeling of wanting you to enjoy your stay. The little extras include chocolates, digital flat screen TV, modern massaging shower, plenty of storage and everything feels new, modern, bright and clean. There is even a room service menu (although we didn't use it) which I have never come across in a B&B in the UK before.
Breakfast is brilliant. Plenty of choice including a childrens menu, local organic option (for a small supplementary charge) porridge, brownies, muffins, fresh fruit etc etc. The traditional English option is very well cooked, plentiful, really tasty and not greasy. Again served in a bright fresh modern room.
The hot-tub is a fine example of 'that little bit extra'. Available to suit the guest in a lovely garden with cool lighting, and in typical fashion for this place, you feel pampered in fluffy white robes and slippers.
We paid £75 for our room with a good view of the Purbeck hills and will definitely be back.
The Swanage Haven and its host genuinely want to please - and they do - and then they please that little bit more.
