Very pleasant and comfortable stay. In the morning, due to a power outage in the street, it was not possible to try the cooked breakfast. However, the hostes was so kind to propose many alternative options (including refund), and the breakfast was anyway very nice. The room and bathroom very nice. Very nice hostess. More

Have just got home after a wonderful couple of nights. We had the triple room which was very comfortable and roomy with its own adjacent bathroom with a fantastic shower. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The breakfast was fantastic - a huge choice - I went for the delicious fresh fruit salad, beautifully cooked bacon and eggs etc... More

If there are rooms available at Sue's B&B you don't need to look any further. At arrival we were met by Sue who welcomed us as old friends/family. She was very helpful with tips for places to visit and where to eat. She has plenty of leaflets for her guests too. The rooms are even nicer than in the photos.... More

My friend and I stayed here for one night on April 11th 2012. First impressions were good, lovely flowers and baskets at the door and well maintained exterior. We were then greeted by first name by Sue, who welcomed us like we were family ! The hall and stairs were bright, airy and well groomed. She showed us up to... More

Our two day break at the Blues Festival was made extra special by this top class guest house. From the minute we were greeted by Sue until the time we left we were made to feel so welcome. Our "blue room" was so comfortable and extremely clean. It was a delight to sit in such a fine dining room eating... More

We have been staying at this B & B since it opened and return every year, sometimes more than once. The rooms are immaculate and the little touches made by Sue are what make this B & B, in my opinion, head and shoulders above others I have stayed in. My two little ones love staying here and Sue makes... More

Just returned from our first visit to 'A Great Escape'. Stayed for two nights and could not fault anything during our visit. Lovely bedrooms, fantastic breakfasts and a wonderful owner who treated us like family. Great value for money and when we go back to Swanage we will not look anywhere else. More

First time we've reviewed a holiday on here but we just had to add our praise for A Great Escape. Sue clearly loves looking after her guests and enjoys all the work that goes into making their stay a success. This shines through not just in the immaculate condition of the room and the quality of the breakfasts, but also... More
