Lovely mini-break
Perfect base from which to explore Swanage and the surrounding area. Two-minute walk to the beach, and a short stroll along the seafront to the shops etc. Alan is a very friendly host, our room was lovely and breakfast was delicious. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. No hesitation in recommending The Rookery

Our second time at the Rookery, and just as good as the first! Everything immaculate - five stars hardly does it justice! Great welcome, great breakfast, superb location, especially for beach lovers - I'm sure we'll be back again.

Fine Festive break.
We had a very pleasant and comfortable 2-night stay at the Rookery just before Christmas. Lovely room and delicious breakfast. Great Christmas decorations throughout. Alan was very helpful with information and knowledge to enhance our stay. Look forward to returning.
