This is a really good guesthouse. It is situated in a quiet part of Swanage and only 15 minutes walk from the town and seafront. The owners were very welcoming and excellent hosts during my stay. The room was very clean with a spacious bathroom and the breakfast was very good with a choice of food to that, I am... More

This is what you hope for when you book a B&B. A warm welcome, a nice clean room with a decent bathroom, a good breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and located in a nice quiet neighbourhood. I have stayed at Little Gem several times, and always enjoyed a my stay.

I stayed in the twin room with a friend, for the Swanage Blues Fesival. The proprietors had just taken over the guest house but we received a warm welcome. The room was spacious, warm and comfortable and breakfast was good with some local produce. We could park on the forecourt and it was a 15 minute walk to the town... More

We stayed for only one night and found Little Gem to be clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very good and more than enough to eat (which is good these days). Not the best location but price reflects this. All in all a pleasant enough stay and no complaints

Little Gem is an apt name for the place, very clean and comfortable, the gaffer and his miss are very friendly but not over the top. I will use the Little Gem again. 10/10

We stayed at Little Gem for 2 nights and had the family room which was clean, modern and spacious. The bunk beds were sturdy and a good size for our two 13 year old kids and the children were catered for very well. Some hotels we have used do not provide towels for the kids and we have to ask...

Breakfast was perfect from full English breakfast to toast or cereals, yogurt and juices. Mary and Dave were lovely and we would definitely go back again or recommend this beautiful B&B to other...

Just returned from an excellent stay at Little Gem. Lovely clean, bright, quite room with a most comfortable bed and very large en suite. Mary and Dave made us most welcome and the cooked breakfasts were superb. Excellent value for money and would strongly recommend Little Gem to anyone.
