Lovely Stay in Beautiful Swanage.

Our first stay in Swanage our family [daughter, son in law]grandkids were camping near by at corfe castle and we decided to come down for a couple of days and found the Sandhaven. What a wonderful the B & b was .John & Martine was very welcoming they could not do enough for you . A nice easy walk to the sea front and Swanage town centre the room was small but was fine for us and a lovely cooked breakfast too we will definately be back.

Fantastic place to stay very clean and welcoming, me and my sister stayed last weekend and enjoyed it very much. Our hosts were excellent and the brekkie was very tasty will definitely be back as an added bonus it was 2 minutes from the beach.

Excellent holiday at the Sandhaven

The location was brilliant for the beach and town. We even had a view of the sea. Four doors away there was a pub which served really good food. The Guest house was lovely, warm, comfy and cosy and our hosts John and Martine so friendly and helpful. They were so lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were fabulous and also the pack ups. It was very good value. We would certainly go back there if we return to Swanage .

Happy Customers - Will be back!

It is a two minute walk from the beach, so perfectly situated. We had chosen the smallest, cheapest room, but it was very adequate for our needs. It was up a few flights of stairs, so don't choose it if you have mobility issues, but it suited our needs. Everything was exceptionally clean. The check in is very flexible which is great. There is tea and various hot drinks available in the room, plus a bottle of water. The owners were really helpful and friendly. Breakfast timings and choice of breakfast was well organised. You complete a form the night before with your choice of food on and whether you would like it at 8.30 or 9.15. There was a wide choice of food available, including ceriel (topped with fresh fruit), a selection of cooked items available and toast. The breakfasts were beautifully cooked and well presented. They also offered a reasonable lunch box service which we didn't use, but it looked good value for money. We will definitely go back again.
