Less than 5 minutes’ walk from the sea, Robertsbrook Guest House is located opposite the Swanage steam railway station. On Dorset’s Jurassic coast, this stylish bed and breakfast provides free parking and Wi-Fi.

The owner Clara went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. She is fun to talk with and very helpful. We stayed two nights and the experience was a 10.

Railway Cottage is the perfect location for a holiday or short break on the Dorset coast.

We are ideally situated in Swanage, less than 5 minute's level walk from the beach, bus service, the famous Swanage steam railway and the town centre. 5.5 miles from Corfe Castle.

Lots to like. Great location for town centre, beach and coastal walks etc. Did not need to use the car during our stay also the car park over the road was perfect for 24hr stay and only a pound during winter months. Cottage was comfy and had all you need, perfect location😎 Our dogs were relaxed in the room and I should mention that allowing dogs to stay for free is a real bonus 👍
