    cozy family suite
    beautiful decor

    Had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect, just minutes from the beach. The cozy family suite was immaculate and had a beautiful decor. Alan went above and beyond, making us feel welcome and even prepared fresh bacon sandwiches at an early hour for us. Our kids loved the place, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting.

    Book a king room for extra comfort, especially if you prefer more space while sleeping.

    limited kid's breakfast variety

    In my wife’s opinion, the breakfast could have more variety for kids.

    grilled seafood
    quality breakfast
    welcoming hosts
    dodgy parking
    street overflow

    Absolutely loved the grilled seafood near the Grand Hotel Swanage, a proper feast for the senses! The breakfast at the Rookery was a gem—cooked to perfection with quality ingredients. The hosts were truly welcoming, making you feel right at home with their genuine hospitality.

    Just a heads-up on parking—if it's busy, you might need to park on the street. No stress, though. we found a spot easily, and it didn’t dent our vibe one bit!

    friendly welcome
    great breakfast
    common area cleanliness

    friendly staff but needs more attention to detail

    The welcome from Alan and Charlene was warm and informative. The breakfast selection was expansive, catering to various tastes and preferences.

    There was a slight lack of attention to cleanliness in the common areas.

    comfy bed
    spotless shower
    great breakfast
    spotty wifi

    Perfect beach getaway!

    We spent 2 nights in a lovely triple room. The bed was super comfy, and the shower was spotless. Breakfast was a treat with a full English served up with a smile. The only hiccup was the WiFi being a bit spotty at times.

    friendly atmosphere
    freshly cooked breakfast

    Highly recommend it for solo travelers

    Had a friendly welcome from the host who even helped with my luggage, makes a difference you know. Breakfast was freshly cooked and plentiful like they cared if I was happy or not, which I liked.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but for the quality, it’s acceptable.

    great breakfast
    comfy room
    weak wifi
    noisy

    the rookery b&b is the best! alan and charlene welcomed me with a super friendly vibe, made me feel right at home. my room was really comfy with a cool decor, and breakfast was delish, lots of choices. 5 mins to the beach which was perfect for my dive trip. also, they showed they care by making me a bacon sarnie early, loved that!

    wifi was a bit sketchy sometimes and a lil noisy at night from outside.

    tasteful decor
    clean spaces
    inviting ambiance
    age-friendly fixtures
    bathroom accessibility

    I appreciated the tasteful decor throughout The Rookery, which added to its inviting ambiance. The clean, well-maintained spaces, combined with easy access to the nearby beach, made it a perfect destination for a relaxing getaway.

    More age-friendly bathroom fixtures would be beneficial.

    spotless room
    fantastic breakfast
    peaceful garden
    slow hot water

    I had a lovely stay here for a couple of nights, enjoying the spotless room and the fantastic breakfast, which was a real treat. The peaceful garden and cozy lounge were perfect for unwinding after a day out. Just wish the hot water took a bit longer to get going, but overall, it was great! 😊
