John and Lou are your hosts and have lived and worked in the Swanage area for most of their lives. We will be able to advise you about local trips and the local area. Merlin is the favourite house dog - a very amiable white furred golden retriever. He will welcome you but will not bother you if you are not a fan of dogs. He certainly is not of the jumping up type but he loves to be stroked and everyone mentions how calming he is. He has featured in many of our reviews. The house is centrally heated and we will often burn an open fire in our lounge. Double glazed windows in all rooms. Stafford Road leads off the main town centre just a few minutes walk from the beach, downs and pier. Parking in the road is free and unrestricted. If no spaces are available there are adjoining roads which are also free. As all guests eat separately, social distancing is easy to maintain and you will not have to share facilities with other guests. Be aware Stafford Road is on a steep hill!

The B&B is situated in a residential street of late Victorian terrace houses directly off the town centre close to shops, pubs, restaurants, beach, pier, railway and downs. Lovely views of the bay from the top of the road. Durlston Country Park is a five minute drive from the property. Parking is available in Stafford Road and surrounding roads.
