We had a wonderful stay here. The room (2) was very clean, beautifully decorated and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast choices were great and all freshly cooked. Coffee was gorgeous. The location is perfect: a few minutes walk to lovely restaurants and pubs. A quiet location. Michelle and Bill are excellent hosts. Very welcoming and knowledgeable regarding walks. We walked to sandbanks, a 10 mile walk, and Michelle explained a slightly different route which was superb. Also recommend walking to Corfe Castle. Beautiful. Thank you for making our first trip to Swanage memorable. We will return. Paul and Linda

We stayed at Taunton House for two nights whilst finishing off walking the South West Coast . A beautiful house, the rooms are tastefully decorated. Bed was very comfortable and we both had a great nights sleep. En suite shower was lovely, and with tea and coffee making facilities we had everything we needed. Breakfast was made from top quality ingredients and was plentiful, sets you up for the day. Bill and Michelle are very friendly and welcoming hosts (despite being a Spurs fan). Really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend Taunton House and will definitely look to book there again if we return to the area.

We stayed at Taunton House on our first visit to this seaside town It is a beautifully restored house that is clean and comfortable The hosts, Michele and Bill run their business very professionally and were very friendly, welcoming and only too ready to ensure our visit was an enjoyable one It is in the heart of Swanage therefore very convenient for visits to the town and the beach, both of which are moments away We found the car park very useful and could leave the car there off the street without worry Wonderful, freshly cooked-to-order breakfasts got us off to a good start each day We would definitely want to stay here again on a return trip to Swanage

This friendly and welcoming b&b is in a quiet area with a very short walk to the town. The hosts are lovely and helpful. Car parking was no problem at all, free street parking on the quiet street behind the b&b. Our family room was immaculate. You select your breakfast in advance for the following morning. It was beautifully cooked. The hosts shared their local knowledge and gave us advice on what there is to do in swanage. We loved our weeks holiday and would recommend it.

Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean accommodation, with fab breakfasts. Hosts Michele and Bill are extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was very cosy, comfy and clean, and the location gives great and easy access to nearby shops, restaurants and the seafront. There are plenty of places to visit in the area - We stayed within a 30 minute drive and especially enjoyed exploring the coastline and wildlife. We would definitely recommend a stay here!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Taunton House with our dog. We were made to feel very welcome, and Michele went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. Our room was extremely comfortable, with a high quality spec of furnishings and fittings, as well as being beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. The en-suite was lovely, and the shower was great. Breakfast selection was very good and the Full English was delicious. Taunton House is in a superb location to explore Swanage Town and Beaches, and close to good pubs and restaurants. Parking was included which is such a bonus for a busy town. We are planning to stay at Taunton House again next year. We would highly recommend staying at Taunton House.

erfect hosts. So friendly and thoughtful. Made it so easy to bring our dog with us. A bowl, bag of treats and blankets in our room for her. A separate 'Boot room' with clean towels to dry her off if needs be. A fridge available to keep her food in. For us this took away any concerns and gave us a stress free break. We had a comfy bed, a lovely tray with coffee, tea and biscuits. Also a thoughtful touch of chocolate mints left each day for us. Breakfast was thoroughly enjoyable. Cooked to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful hosts. Thankyou!
