Kate was an absolutely lovely, freindly and welcoming host who runs a spotless B & B. It certainly lived up to its 4 star rating. The building was extremely light, airy, and beautifully looked after, there was even a spacious lounge for guests to use which had games, TV and books. In our room we had plenty of luxurious teas, coffees, biscuits and bottles of water, which were regularly topped up.
The shower was amazing!. Incredible breakfasts, the best we've ever had in any B & B or hotel we've ever stayed in, or indeed at home! Masses of beautiful scrambled egg, a whole portobello mushroom and lean bacon. Overall, very generous portions and vegetarians and vegans were well catered for with a fantastic, homemade granola. Wonderful homemade compote, fresh fruit salad, and Greek yoghurt, there were even pastries if you wanted. Whenever we're visiting the area again, we will definitely try and book here again.

Staff, cleanliness, comfort, food and location. Staff are concerned your stay is what you expect, are helpful and friendly. I describe the cleanliness as sparkling. Comfort in all the rooms from the breakfast room to the individual rooms is top notch, not too soft not too firm. The choice of breakfast foods was more than adequate, from healthy to full English.
Location is great as it is but a short walk from the b&b to the beach and a little further to the shops (which you need after having had the full English!) We will be going back.

You need to book this B&B if you are staying in Swanage! The best breakfast I have ever had. The staff are beyond accommodating and treat you like family. The rooms are spotless and the beds extremely comfortable. Location is great, only a short walk to the beach. We will definitely be staying again, thank you to Kate and her family for making our stay 5*. we can't wait to see you again.

We have just left from a lovely week at the Castleton. The place feels like home. The staff are all amazing and friendly, Kate the owner couldn't be nicer and puts her heart and soul into that place and it definitely shows. 5* for the breakfast, 5* for comfort & cleanliness and 5* for the staff. I can't fault the place and wouldn't stay anywhere else in swanage! X thanks Kate & Team x

The Castleton, Swanage.what a find! We stayed in room 8, the spacious family room. With 2 adults and 2 children staying we found the room to be beautifully decorated, comfortable and very nice beds! Kate and staff were all lovely and very helpful. The breakfast was amazing and plentiful. The short walk to the beach is an added bonus. It's an even walk into town of about ten minutes.
There are 4 parking spaces available on a first come first serve basis but we had no problems. A huge well done to The Castleton as your Covid processes work smoothly and efficiently. We will we back. Thank you.
