Amazing B&B in Swanage The Rookery was the best B&B we have stayed in anywhere in the UK. Our room was immaculate, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfasts were cooked perfectly with a wide range of choice. Our hosts, Alan and Charlene were very friendly and really made us feel welcome. Would definitely stay with them again.
