About The Castleton

Swanage Beach, Durlston Country Park and the Swanage Railway are all within easy reach of The Castleton, making this Victorian B&B a handy base for exploring the Dorset coast. Pubs, restaurants and other local eateries sit nearby too, along with entertainment and fishing spots for those who want to fill their days beyond the obvious sights.

The Castleton itself keeps things traditional, with en-suite rooms furnished in a classic style and fitted with air conditioning. Family rooms and accessible rooms are available, and free Wi-Fi runs throughout. Breakfast is included, and a packed lunch can be arranged for days out along the coast or in the country park.

Practical touches round out the stay: free on-site parking, 24-hour reception, luggage storage and drinks available in rooms. There are also meeting rooms and business services on hand, useful for anyone combining the trip with work. A garden offers a quiet spot to sit before heading out to the beach or catching the railway.

Wonderful B&B. Very clean, well thought out , airy, modern rooms. Great facilities. Delicious breakfast in a lovely conservatory room, separate lounge area, it's an extremely relaxing place to stay. A pleasant, easy 15 mins walk to the centre of Swanage along the sea front. Wonderful hosts. I'd love to return and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
