Then choose from the many leisure opportunities which Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck offer. After a busy day of swimming walking or sightseeing come back to tea then relax in your spa bath or take a long hot shower before sampling the great range of pubs and restaurants only ten minutes walk away in the town centre. We have a small kitchen available to guests with a fridge and microwave where you can prepare your own picnics or evening meals or you can have a barbecue in our courtyard. br / br / br / br / The beds have fine Egyptian cotton bed linen and you will find a pile of fluffy white towels.We even have beach towels on request. br / br / br / br / The rooms have flatscreen TV and we have a small library of DVDs at your disposal plus a range of books including a good selection of local history and guide books. br / br / br / br / Parking outside the house is unlimited and free.
