I stayed here for a wedding in April 2012 and selected it due to the fact we could stay for one night. Most places in the Swanage/Studland area wouldn't let us stay for more than one night, and were quite expensive. This was £60 a night for two people including a lovely cooked breakfast. We had a large family room,... More

If I'm honest, I wasn't expecting much from Little Gem, as we were going to a wedding in Studland and this was pretty much the only place that was available, let us stay for one night and which didn't cost the earth. We were immediately met by the quirky owner, Dave, who has a very dry sense of humour but... More

A really fine place whixch we stayed at as they are dog friendly; everything very clean and fresh in a wonderfully quiet road close to Swanage centre, the sea and all the other local Dorset attractions. Great breakfasts and very friendly owners-would go back anytime! More

we stayed here last weekend, they even accept one night stays which alot of places don't. The owners are lovely, perfect breakfast in the morning, would suit any appetite, from full english to scrambled egg on toast and a range of cereals. The room was spotless and clean, really comfy bed. The price was very reasonable, especially compared to other... More

An extremely pleasant stay at this B&B. The owners were wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast was served with a smile and some laughs. My friend and I stayed there for the Blues Festival and we were worried about coming in late but there was no curfew. The room and en suite were very clean and well looked after. We... More

We knocked on the door of the Little Gem Guest House on a Monday morning in August to ask if there was any chance of one night's B & B. We were welcomed by Dave who was very friendly and he showed us to a lovely en suite room at the rear of the building (all rooms are en suite).... More
