Great location, but parking not easy. Thankful the owners son gave up his space nearby for us. Good size room, we slept well. The shower was really easy to control and we had the best towels during our week away.. Really good breakfast, served in our room. Would recommend. Disappointed local pubs were not as we remembered them… lack of real ale… but we like the independent shops… Ate at the best chippy; The Fish Plaice.

The Gretenham B&B in Swanage is clean, quiet, well-located and a great value. The best of it all are the hosts Lou and John, with their great advice for local sights and restaurants, warm welcome, comfortable, attractive rooms and an extensive breakfast menu that reflects Lou’s years as a restaurant owner. Be sure to ask about local walks - their library of guides/maps is a great resource.
